Click on the video, it's under Lung Cancer Awareness Month

He did a fantastic job.  I'd be sweating bullets and stuttering all over the place.  :)

Rainy Nashville

The less said about sleepless last night the better.   However,  had bizarrely good Mexican for dinner last night.  If anyone ever stops in Manchester TN you have to try El portillos.

Updates

In reverse order of age...
Edie is clapping! Too adorable. I will get a video and post it. She can stand on her own now and likes to walk around holding onto your hands (while you are bent over almost 1/2). I've had a pretty sore lower back the last couple days. She is also a belly sleeper and has been known to sleep with her butt in the air.

 Waylon doesn't look like a toddler anymore. He really looks like a little boy now. He continues to be a very affectionate yet stubborn little boy.  The pic shows him in his Thanksgiving Indian outfit from school.  He made the necklace himself and was very very proud.
 Byron is loving school. It helps that his best bud Haku is there. They are not in the same class, but are together on the playground everyday. He is a GREAT older brother to Edie.  He really loves playing with her in between playing Bacon vs. Tofu with his brother and massive Lego building sessions.

Aaron is doing great.  They just got a new machine at his work. It's very fancy and the latest and greatest of everything. 

 I'm really good.  Tomorrow we are leaving on a road trip to southern Illinois for Thanksgiving.  I've been packing like a mad woman.  It was also the day of the Waiting on a Cure luncheon. I was on the committee this year.  It was really fun and we got to raise some money to help the cancer institute at Memorial.  A GREAT friend, Barb, dressed up with me.  I was Elizabeth Bennet from Pride and Prejudice and she was Medusa.  Next year, I'm going to pick a costume that doesn't need so much explanation.  :)

More milestones

Standing tall
Edie is hitting milestone after milestone lately.  At least it seems that way.  She's crawling like a mad woman and even crawled up our stairs yesterday.  She's also starting to stand.  She can stand a minute or two at a time.   It always amazes me how much children change in the first year.  I can't believe she was a newborn just 9 short months ago.

The boys are doing well.  Waylon is talking up a storm.  Lately he has been tacking on "you know" to everything he says.  For example, he said "I like quesidillas, you know mom" today.  He also calls Edie feetie (sweetie) pie all the time.  Too cute.
