what in the world! it's been a month...

not sure who really reads this blog that much anymore, i really keep it for my family and myself so i can look back and see what all was going on.  clearly, we've been busy.  between the boys' school, shelby going to school, me starting my photography business and just the regular old life i have neglected my blog.  some days i think i'll just abandon it but then i just love going back to see what was going on in october of 2010.  and every christmas my mom has a printed version made so i will continue to post...as long as i remember to!

so what have we been up to?  shelby started school and turned 4 (insert scream here)!  she loves school.  and i mean she l.o.v.e.s it.  she says every day when i pick her up that she wants to go back again tomorrow.  she bounces her way to the car in the morning, gets out with a smile and doesn't turn back.  especially on ballet day.  do not get her early on ballet day.  it's just so funny to see how much she loves it all compared to how much the boys hated it.  carson would silently cry the whole way in the car then put on a semi brave face and watch me drive away.  brooks had to be pried out of the car almost every day.  he would hold on to the door frame and scream for them not to take him.  who knew little miss would make things so easy?  and her teacher says she is so sweet and quiet all day long.  she comes home and i hear her recreating her day with her dolls all day long.  she is really listening and learning, i love it!

the boys have been super busy.  fall is a busy time at buford academy!  we've already finished our first 9 weeks of school which doesn't seem possible.  they both are doing so well and are getting so big.  it doesn't seem like that long ago that they were just little bitty brothers hanging out at home.  time marches on, i suppose.  i know that i have mentioned before how much we love this community we live in.  moving to buford has been the best change we ever made.  the boys are so at home at their school, especially carson.  we literally cannot go out anywhere to dinner around here without a kid coming over to say hi to carson and to tell us that they sit with him at lunch, play with him at school, read with him in the library, see him in the hallways, etc.  he's a regular superstar.  then as soon as they leave we ask carson if that is a buddy/friend from school.  his response, "maybe" with a look on his face like, why are you asking?  this was him at the homecoming pep rally last week.  i was in the gym getting things set up and look over to see some kid dancing in front of all the kids.  i'll give you one guess who has these sweet dance moves...


that's our carson...totally doing his thing.  this kid loves to dance and i love that he feels like he can do it in front of his peers.  i hate that i stopped recording before it ended because he got a nice round of applause.  it was awesome, just like him!  

here were a few more pictures from the parade that followed the pep rally.  we really do things up here in buford!
