all that we missed

Wow......it's been a while! Thanksgiving has come and gone and we hardly got any good photos to post. But back-tracking......Justin and I celebrated 6 years of holy matrimony on November 8th. We had a fun date in Nashville and returned to Bucca di beppo (the site of our rehearsal dinner--well, not the actual site, we got married in Louisville) for some yummy Italian food. We also had a night cap at Fido's (part of Bongo Java, the folks who supply us/Spencer's with freshly roasted, organic, fair trade coffee). They have a drink called the Milkbone, that knocked my socks off. It is double-shot latte with honey, vanilla, whipped cream and graham cracker crumbs sprinkled on top! It was absolutely delightful.

And the celebration continues. We are heading to Nashville for a Titans game in a couple of weeks. After six years of watching NFL football, and the Titans in particular, Justin has won me over and I have to admit I really enjoy it! So I made a back alley deal and scored some tickets with a local who had season tickets and wanted to get rid of most of them after Tennessee's 0-6 start. Since then they have won five straight games, so we are looking forward to seeing them live and in person. It will be my first NFL game! The best part was Justin's surprised look when he opened his gift. Priceless.



Since then, we also went to a Shellac show in Louisville with some friends. In fact, three of Justin's groomsmen (Nick, Nathan and Derek) were there, and we took this photo. If you were at our reception and saw some "new" dancing you didn't recognize, it was to this song:



Rest assured, it was the choreography of Derek Holt and not the latest craze in pop culture. It was fun to see Shellac live, but it was a late night!

So otherwise, we have been taking lots of video and not many pics. Owen learned to stand up by himself finally (thanks to the determination of our DI, Krista). He's been playing tons outside and LOVES it. Now that it is colder he stands at the door and grabs at the knob hoping we'll give in. I had trouble uploading our outdoor videos, but this one is cute (with some obnoxious mama parts for which I apologize).



Lewis has been looking at toy ads in preparation for Christmas.



And after a fun visit for Thanksgiving (of which we have no record!), the boys were jabbering non-stop on the way home. This clip was taken as we pulled off the highway to take a potty break.
