thanksgiving 2010

running, running, running...mccoy loves to run, especially around and around my parents porch. this year, we headed down to hot springs for thanksgiving and had such a wonderful time. i love thanksgiving every year, getting to spend time with family, but now, it is especially fun with mccoy...as parents, you can't help but love to show off your little ones. he is doing so much now and each day gets busier and busier. we are so thankful he is in our lives...God has truly blessed us!

learning to play the piano with gracie...in every picture i got of him and gracie, his tongue is out in all of them...concentrating hard!

our little family...goofy boy

hey auntie b!

now onto christmas fun!

sweet madeline!

the box family was finally able to make a trip down to little rock to see baby madeline grace and the rest of the piechocki family...we had such a great time, and she is such an angel...not once did she put up a fuss! it was fun to hang out with friends, watch the hogs beat south carolina and play with babies! mccoy did so good with her...at first, he didn't really notice her, but the next morning, he kept wanting to play with her....

checking each other out in the chair...

"where's her toesies?"

our little baller...

on friday, we did halloween on the fayetteville square again this year...mccoy went as a baller, but some of the time, he also looked the part of a white rapper...so funny! it is so neat at the square because all of the surrounding businesses hand out candy to the little trick or treaters! our count was up from last year...we made it to 3 pieces of candy, plus a cupcake!

we stopped by the salon to see all of the girls!

mccoy was so distracted by all of the other kids dressed up


standing next to the firetruck...swinging his bling



so excited about trick or treating and telling us all about it!

eating at el sancho's on the patio...he loves some chips and rice and beans!

happy halloween!

we are still in the unpacking and painting phase of our move, so i don't have any photos to show of the new home...but i did decide to do an extreme picture blast of everything we have been up to since the middle of september! here we go...

the move went really well...right now, i am finalizing paint colors for the rooms, and we are almost ready to tackle those! mccoy was upset for a good week before we moved, but now, he is back to his entertaining self! his favorite things to do are make the touchdown arm motion, say "roar" after i say bear, and of course, clap for himself...oh, and we just learned "uh oh"...hopefully, it won't be another month until i blog again! up next...halloween!
