I know, I know, we have been slacking off on the posts, but it has been extremely busy in our household, and it seems the little time Jon and I have to ourselves we want to do nothing but be couch potatoes. Between Jon writing proposals for work and finishing up his training, and me finishing up school, tutoring, and getting up with an either sick or teething baby has been exhausting.
Hayden is a little handful even though I love him with all of my heart. The little guy does not stop until he is ready to hit the sack and go to bed. He hates the car seat with a passion, so long car rides are out of the question, even though we had to go down to Portland for Thanksgiving. He is starting to be a little nicer to the cat and the kids in class, although anything laying on the ground will get trampled because it is in his way of walking. Hayden also started giving kisses, it is the cutest thing, and they really are not that sloppy.
Like I said on Thanksgiving we went down to Portland to be with my step-dad's side of the family. His oldest son asked us over and we accepted because otherwise we would be just by ourselves and would be eating turkey for months to come. Jon finally got to meet the rest of Gary's kids and we got to witness our first holiday with Hayden and a lot of people in the room. Lets just say the poor kid was so stimulated he did not nap all day long and had a rough night at my moms. He didn't want to sleep there, so at 2:00 am Jon and I decided it was time to leave and went home so Hayden could sleep.
We did get all of our Christmas shopping done, which is one less stress off our backs, but we still have Christmas cards, Hayden's birthday invitations (which reminds me if I don't get them out we are going to celebrate his birthday at Chuck E Cheese on December 13 at 1:00 pm), Hayden's one year pictures and family pictures, and decorating for the holidays. As you can see we are pretty busy, but I promise once school is done on the 9th I promise to update pictures and post more often. Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving, we miss you all!

Hi Jon, Amanda, and Hayden!
Wanted to wish Jon a belated Happy Birthday from the 23rd and you all a belated Happy Thanksgiving! Hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend and are all doing well and staying healthy! Sounds like you have quite a busy household and lots going on, especially with the holidays coming up -- but at least your Christmas shopping is done!
I can't believe Hayden's 1st birthday is coming up...he is absolutely adorable and growing up so fast already! I've been keeping up with the blogs, but sorry I haven't left a comment in some time. The pictures and videos are wonderful and funny and I think Hayden is the cutest monkey I've ever seen for Halloween! I know it's hard to keep up on posts and pictures, but you guys seem to be doing a great job with everything you have going on in your lives!
Hope to see you sometime soon and I've been looking forward to the day when I finally get to meet Hayden...any idea when you might be coming to WI again?
Our first winter snow storm arrived yesterday and in Slinger we got 8+ inches of snow! In addition to finishing up this semester of school with all the homework, papers, preparing for exams, and volunteering that my professors feel is necessary, I'll be doing some shoveling!
Take care and I miss you all! Hope you have a wonderful week!
Love,
Ashley
