Pumpkin carving party!

Our friends, Beau and Jennifer, invited us and a few others over to carve pumpkins and celebrate Halloween. This was Graham's first realization of dressing up. He loved his costume, Dwight Yoakum, but everyone else freaked him out. He cried for the first hour until I convinced him his friend was a funny dancing skeleton. We all eventually relaxed and had a great time! Happy Halloween! Hope the weather is good for you all, suppose to be really nasty here.

Smokey Mountains!

The Great Smokey Mountains! Atop Clingmans dome!

This past weekend, we went to the Smokey Mountains with our wonderful friends, Peter, Julie, Asger and Nora. Yes, we went to the mountains with 4 adults, 2 toddlers and 2 infants. CRAZY!!! But, the kids actually did exceptional. Not sure if we have told you all but Peter, Julie and the kids will be returning to Denmark soon so, we are squeezing all our Giffin/Week time in as much as possible. Oh how we will miss them!!

Well, on this adventure, we went hiking each day and tried to have adult play time at night. And of course the boys started playing with each other and being cute 30 minutes before we all headed home. It was a great trip and beautiful weather. Oh and did I mention the entire country was at the Smokey's too. Not sure if it was the shutdown or the beautiful leaves changing. Traffic was crazy. But it was all worth it! Enjoyed it so much! We love you Week clan!!

Ready for relaxation and a little love!

The great hike up up up to Clingmans dome

Hard work! We got a lot of encouraging looks and comments from those walking down as we were walking up.

We did it! Super strong!!

Next day hike to Laurel Falls!

Mandy and the boys take a trip

Well, I think I lost my mind!! At the last minute Friday, I decided to load the boys up and head the Gran's. I had plans to go to Oxford for Daniella's sorority bid day on Sunday but, decided to extend the visit a few days a farther south.
We had a busy time, we saw aunt Deanie and Uncle Rickey. We went to a pumpkin patch with Gran. Graham had a blast with his cousin Isabella. And we had a wonderful day inn Oxford where Daniella pledged Delta Gamma, the same as my sister Mike and myself.
We are now home and Graham is so glad to be back with his Pappa!
