What We've Been Up To

So we really haven't been doing much of interest lately. We had a great Thanksgiving. My mom was able to fly in and was here from Wednesday until Monday. It was really nice having her here and we got a lot accomplished as far our Christmas shopping goes. I am happy to say that my Christmas shopping is complete with the exception of some candy and a few gift bags. Bradyn of course will finish his up a day or two before Christmas. I am also happy to say that everything is wrapped as well. I wish my dad and my brother could have made the trip but I understand how busy they are with all the horses and just hope they can all come for Christmas or shortly after.

So since I have all my shopping done and I only work 2 days a week with the exception of my parents accounting and billing I do from home, I have had some free time on my hands so I have jumped into reading the Twighligt books. I finished Twighlight in 6 days which is good for me and I am a third of the way finished with New Moon (which I started at 11:00 last night). I loved the first book and am glad that I saw the movie first as I already knew from watching the movie what the characters should look like in the book. I know there were some people disappointed in the characters chosen for the movie after they read the book and already had their vision of the characters. As far as the second book goes, I'm unsure right now. I loved the beginning but am now confused. Those that have read the book know what I am talking about. I won't say much more as I don't want to give anything away to those who haven't read the books. But if something doesn't change soon, then I don't know if I will read the third book. I never thought that I would be into these books as much as I am. I have never had a lot of time for reading so I don't read novels much. But I can't seem to put these ones down. Bradyn keeps asking me if my middle name is Carolyn. It's an inside joke as my Grandma's name is Carolyn and there was period of time when all she did was read.



As far as the rest of them go. Bradyn is still busy with work and right now the NFR is going on so we have been watching that every night. Peyton is getting excited for Christmas and wants everything she sees advertised on T.V. She is also excited because Grandma Jill is coming back and she asks everyday "When's Grandma Jill going to be here?". Houston is doing good. Rolling all over the place, scooting a little and eating baby food. He goes in for this 6 month check up on the 19th so we will see then how huge he is.
