Well, The Seelye Six actually made their way to Arlington to visit Nana and Papaw at their house for Thanksgiving on Thursday. Mommy and daddy timed it perfectly so that after finishing solid foods for breakfast, the babies' bellies were full and they all took their morning nap all the way there. Savannah enjoyed watching Barney on the DVD player. Mommy and daddy enjoyed some peace and quiet sipping on coffee and hot chocolate for an hour...oh, heavenly bliss! This was the trips very first visit to Nana and Papaw's house ever! Of course, everything pretty much revolved around the babies' schedule, but we made it work, and Nana was so accommodating and prepared for us. Thank you, Nana and Papaw, for cleaning, cooking, and preparing your house for us to come over. We had lots of visitors, Uncle Steve and Aunt Marla, Aunt Mary Jack and cousin Lauren, Uncle Craig, Aunt Dana, cousins Katie and Josh, and Uncle Chad with cousins Dylan and Collin. Maddy was sick so Aunt Alisha stayed home with her. Even some neighbors came by to see us! We all had a great day, but everyone was tired when we got home. We did manage to get one family pic with poor Parker's ears sticking out, and Nana and Papaw got a pic with our 4 kids and then got one with 6 of their 7 grandchildren. Maybe at Christmas they will get all 7 if everyone is well! Thanks everyone for a great time! We'll do it again in December!!! Oh, I almost forgot---we finally went gate shopping and now Parker feels like he's in jail. He cries and cries and cries when he's on the outside and parents are in the kitchen. So sad! Hopefully the babies will get used to the new gates and this sadness will pass; although Parker is Mama's boy, and he gets me every time...ugh!

Happy Fall Ya'll!

Things around here are even busier since my last post just a week ago. Cameron has cut his 2nd tooth; Parker is just about crawling--he's got the arms and legs going correctly, just has to figure out how to get his belly off the ground and he's good to go! Yikes! All 3 babies are mobile and getting around pretty fast when they want to. I went into the bedroom for a quick minute to change my pants from Cameron spitting up all over them only to come out and find Katelyn chewing on speaker wire behind the exersaucer. Ugh! Plan B. We will probably have to set up our Superyard XT this weekend to give the babies some confinement and mommy some peace of mind when she needs to leave the room. For Halloween, Savannah dressed as a princess and the babies were 3 peas in a pod. We went to our church festival and had a blast and Savannah went to Gram and Pop's church to go trunk or treating with her cousins and Gram and Pop. They all had so much fun! We actually went out for only the 2nd time since the babies have been born as a family on an outing other than church. Remember, the first time was our Sam's outing long ago and it wasn't too successful! This time, we went to a pumpkin patch on the very last day, Oct. 31. The weather was beautiful, no rain, and everyone had a good time. We managed to get a family picture as I asked a nice, unsuspecting family if they wouldn't mind taking one for us, we ate free hot dogs, Savannah and I rode a barrel car , a hay ride, Shawn, Savannah, and Cameron also rode the hay ride, Savannah fed the goats and played in the pumpkin patch on bails of hay and walked numerous times in a maze. It was a great, exhausting day, but we all had fun, and it was nice for mommy and the babies to get out away from the house. Of course, Sunday between church in the morning and night, I was busy doing chores trying to catch up from the previous day. It took me until Mon. night to catch up, but it was worth it. Enjoy some pics!
