November

So, I've been a very bad blogger lately, but we've had a busy month. Mike and I took the last week of November off, and we took Miller on his first trip to Austin for his first Longhorn football game. The first of MANY in his future, of course.

We drove down to Austin the morning of the game, and Miller decided not to nap the entire drive. When we got to Austin just in time for kick-off around 2, he hadn't slept a wink all day. We were so worried that he'd be miserable and fussy at the game, but he did great.

He was his usual happy self, flirting with the girls in our section, reading books and munching his raisins.

The next day we went to Zilker park with Ryan and his girls, and Miller had so much fun with them. He LOVED Aoife and Keara, and he's still talking about them.

He also played with a football for the first time, and loved chasing it around and throwing it to us. He's a natural.

The first few times we took him to the park, he wasn't sure if he really liked the swings. As you can tell, even though this picture is a little blurry, he has decided that he LOVES them now.

After our trip to Austin, we spent a few days in Granbury with my mom, Chuck, Jana, Chuck's brother bill, Chuck's daughter Sarah and her husband Shawn. Here's Miller enjoying the yummy Thanksgiving spread.

My plate. As you can tell, I was very excited about the sweet potatoes and stuffing. Yum.

The night after Thanksgiving was the annual Granbury Christmas parade. This was the most elaborate float in the parade, so that should give you an idea of the experience.

This could possible be the worst family picture ever. We couldn't get Miller to look at the camera (because he was staring at the lights in the parade) and Mike looks crazy.

He was a little more cooperative in this picture with MiMi and Chuckpaw.

But back to staring at the parade for the picture with Nana.
