We spent Black Friday doing a little local sightseeing with my family that was down from North Carolina. Justin was working so I went with Mama, Daddy, Sami, and our folks to visit Andersonville National Historic Site and Plains, which is the home of former President Jimmy Carter.
We had a fun and busy Thanksgiving. We got to have fun with our families and ate way too much food.
We got our Christmas tree the weekend of Thanksgiving. I am so excited that we get to celebrate Wyatt’s first Christmas. We found out just three days before Christmas last year that we were having a little boy and he’s already 7 1/2 months old! I know he won’t truly get the full effect, but it’s just better having him around with us to celebrate.
He did get in the holiday spirit with a fun-filled day of Christmas shopping. He especially loves his new Georgia hat.
A whole month has almost passed with no blog from me! I try really hard to not make this a baby blog but my life 100% revolves around Wyatt, so it seems that the posts I put on his blog could pull double duty for here too!
Wayyy back in November, Wyatt and I got to have a little fun in some crunchy leaves.
Poor Wyatt has been sick with a bad cold this week so I have been home with him. We have spent a great deal of the time snuggling up in our jammies. On Wednesday, Justin texted me and told me the circus train was coming our way!
I had just gotten out of the shower and still had a soaking wet head, but I threw my hair up in a ponytail and got Wyatt into some proper clothes and flew up to an empty parking lot in town in front of the tracks.
My dad met us up there. Wyatt was very interested in the semis and other vehicles going through the intersection.
Daddy got a call for work and had to leave before the train made it through, so I was left juggling Wyatt on my hip, my cell phone recording video for Justin because he missed most of it, and my digital camera to snap still shots.
As you can see, my pictures were less than stellar, so here are some shots my SIL Amanda took out in the country.
We are so excited that we got to see the circus train come through. Justin and I are already making plans to take Wyatt when the circus comes to Tallahassee in January!
Justin, Wyatt, and I visited the Georgia Museum of Agriculture this past Saturday to check out the annual cane grinding event. Wyatt was coming down with a bad virus and I ended up with an eye infection (obviously not from the museum), but we had a great time anyway. Y’all don’t even know how hard it is to get used to not calling this place the Agrirama (which had been its name for the past 15 years or more).
From their website:
Georgia’s Museum of Agriculture and Historic Village opened as the Agrirama on July 4, 1976. The grounds consist of five areas: a traditional farm community of the 1870s, an 1890s progressive farmstead, an industrial sites complex, rural town, national peanut complex, and the Museum of Agriculture Center. Over 35 structures have been relocated to the 95-acre site and faithfully restored or preserved. Costumed interpreters explain and demonstrate the life-style and activities of this time in Georgia’s history.
Here are some shots I snapped throughout the day.
