Jonathan's Baptism

On October 19th we baptized Jonathan at the Catholic Center in Athens. The ceremony was after the 10:00 mass, which was probably a wise decision as Madeline and Natalie could not sit still. Everything went well. Jonathan was a breeze. He looked super cute in his little outfit. The weather was perfect too. We had everyone over to the house afterwards. We were able to visit and the kids were able to play. Here are some pictures from the event.

Washington Farms

We went one afternoon to Washington Farms with the Morgan Halls one afternoon after work. We didn't have a lot of time to do everything, but we did manage to let the kids (and Jeremy) ride the cow train, the hay ride and pick a pumpkin. Here are some pictures from the outing.

Fall Fun Fair

We went to the Fall Fun Fair at Barnett Shoals Elementary. They had a lot of activities for the kids and a lot of candy for the too. Madeline and Jackson had fun doing the cake walk, the jump castle and face painting together. However, I think one of the most entertaining activities was Karaoke. It was mostly older kids doing this, but Jackson and Madeline did take a turn. Unfortunately for Jackson, Madeline got to pick the song and they sang and danced to Cheetah Girls One World. Jackson didn't seem to mind too much. It is not the best video, but every once in a while you can hear them sing a few words and dance. The dancing is mostly moving the shoulders, but it is still entertaining. Enjoy!

UGA Soccer Alumni

UGA had their Alumni weekend Oct. 12th. About 15 people showed up - not a great turn out, but not bad. Some were able to bring their children. It is so strange to see teammates with children. Many days I can't believe I have 2!! I'm not sure that I got a picture of the Alum, but I did get some of all the kids.

Below is a picture of many future Georgia Soccer players (accept for the boys - sorry). In the picture below are Betsy Beach and Jonathan on the front row, and on the back row are Maryann Beach, Madeline, Dasia Torbert, and Drake Luckie. All of the kids showcased their soccer skills. It was quite entertaining. Jonathan loved being out there. I am contemplating sending this picture of him with the Nike soccer ball to Nike to see if we can get him in some ads :)


This is a picture of Madeline and the Beach girls on our front steps before we headed out to the soccer fields. They were very cooperative and VERY cute! After a long day at the soccer complex, Jeremy, Beth, Bryan and I finally got the kids settled with ONE baby sitter and headed out to the GA vs. Tennessee football game. I don't think that the guys were very worried about the baby sitter with our 4 children (ages: Madeline - 3, Maryann - 3, Betsy - 1, Jonathan - 9 months). Beth and I were more concerned and of course called during the game to make sure everything was okay. It turned out that Betsy and Jonathan napped while Maryann and Madeline played. Then Maryann and Madeline fell asleep and the other 2 woke up. So all turned out well. I think it went better than planned, so hopefully we'll get to do that again soon!!

Sleeping Jonathan

Jonathan has finally decided to sleep through the night. I went in to check on him to make sure he was warm, etc. and this is how I found him sleeping.

Trike-a-Thon

This morning we went to a Trike-a-Thon with the Morgan-Halls at Cedar Shoals High School. The kids got to ride bikes, jump in the jump castle and more. Here are some pictures from the event.
