November

As the Holiday season rolls in, our months get busier and busier with activities.  Luckily lots of the are really fun like a trip to the Botanical Gardens to see the lights with Lovett friends, a 70's party with neighborhood friends and a Thanksgiving pig roast with the Smyrna gang.

Avery (3 years, 3 months) - Avery is as crazy and goofy as ever.  She loves to dance (often with her booty in the air), doesn't care if she gets messy and is particular about what she wears (especially when going for a walk around the block).  She loves going to ballet though she often does what she wants to do rather than what the teachers asks.  Avery has had several play dates with her neighborhood friends recently and loves hosting the party!  She is asking for three big girl beds in her room so everyone can spend the night.

She had to color something on each square of the sidewalk - this made for a VERY long walk around the block

Parker (6 years) - Parker's baseball season ended and he was super bummed.  I'm not sure baseball is his favorite sport but he loved playing with all his neighborhood buddies and it was fun for the rest of us too!  Parker has also mastered riding his bike without training wheels and has been riding up and down the street nonstop ever since.

Carter (7 years, 6 months) - Carter finished up football season with his team coming in 2nd place in their division.  He had a blast playing with his friends and having Dad help coach.  He is eagerly looking forward to doing it again next Fall.  He also loved hitting up several GT football games with Dad and has been watching replays of old games on TV.  He and Parker have started setting up elaborate football games inside including creating banners to run through for their entrance.  He lost another tooth this month and his mouth looks woefully empty.

Someone's tooth really needs to come out

Siblings - The weather has been gorgeous this month and the boys have been bike riding as much as possilbe.  They love spending most of their free time riding to friends houses or playing sports outside.  And Avery is always trying to keep up!  They are all super excited about the Holiday season and enjoying all the hustle and bustle of the season.
