Thanksgiving

This picture needs no words. ;)
It was Austin's first Thanksgiving! We went to the Schuitema side . He ended up eating a babyfood turkey dinner because he went down for a nap while we were all eating our Thanksgiving dinner. He had a lot of fun roaming through Grandpa and Grandma Schuitema's house. He learned how to climb up a couple of stairs. Below are pictures of the women cooking the night before, daddy and Austin, Grandpa giving Austin a horsey back ride; which he really enjoyed and Austin reading Grandpa a bedtime story. ;)







We went to Joel and Paula's house on Saturday for overdue visit with everyone! It was great getting the boys back together again and just hanging out with everyone.


Bathtime fun! :)
Levi was being so nice, offering to pour some nice warm water on Austin.
Austin was helping daddy put up the Christmas tree! :)

Since Austin got his mouse slippers over Thanksgiving he likes to carry one of them around everywhere he goes. Here is a picture of him with it. Just a little while ago he was trying to stand up next to his leap frog table with the slipper in hand, he could not achieve this so decided to put it in his mouth, stand up and then put it on the table. It was quite humorous.

Beautiful Nature-Gatlinburg

This past week we ventured down south to Gatlinburg for 4 days. It was WONDERFUL! The weather was just gorgeous; we could not have asked for better. We had soooo much fun just hanging out and relaxing, hiking, and walking around the town. It was such a blessing to be out in the middle of such beautiful nature that He has created. I have included quite a few pictures....sorry...I am indecisive and maybe I am turning into my mother. (hi mom) ;) Austin has really started to crawl quite quickly this past week and is pulling himself up on everything. It is great seeing the look of excitement on his face when he completes one of his goals.


The hill right outside the condo.







The trail we hiked was sooooooo beautiful!



Playing in the water!!!














Pulling himself up on anything and everything and trying to get whatever is in reach!
Even had time to put together the Austin and Daddy puzzle!

This was the beautiful view from our slider door at the condo we stayed at. It was gorgeous!
The two "boys" in my life! I love this picture!
