Busy Times

These last couple of weeks have been pretty busy for the Walters household. First I wanted to show you a really funny picture. Our dog Boston usually does not bother anything he shouldn't...usually. We had left a bowl of caramel candy corn on the coffee table one night we were out, and we came home to this sight:


We don't know how he did this, but I guess he didn't like the candy corn since all this was left over!!

So a couple of weeks ago Wes got asked to sing at a benefit event. The benefit was for an organization that helps to provide clean water wells in Sierra Leone, Africa. The organization is called Let Them LOL (www.ltlol.com) and it was really neat to be able to be a part of this. Wes coerced me into singing "I Run To You" by Lady Antebellum with him that night, and someone got a shot of it.


Then of course there was the Auburn vs. Alabama game. Sad day. Let's not talk about it. But we had to get a picture to remember the day by, and unfortunately it looks just like the picture from last year's game.


I got to work at Target the whole weekend after Thanksgiving, including Black Friday at 4:45 a.m. (CRAZY!), so while I worked, Wes painted the nursery! The room before was a yellowish color, including the ceiling. Here is Wes painting the ceiling white and the before pictures of the room:



We decided on a color called "toast" that matches the bedding we picked out at Target. I think it looks great and he did a fabulous job! He even spiffied up the closet door.



We pulled out all the Christmas decor and decorated the tree that same weekend. It is always fun and exciting to do that! I was wearing a shirt that says "full of awesome" and Wes thought it was funny considering I am literally full of an awesome baby, so he wanted to take this picture:


Here is our pretty tree:


This past weekend was our annual Christmas Shopping Extravaganza! We decided to make it a road trip this year to Erie, Pennsylvania. Erie is only about 1.5 hours from Buffalo, they have a big mall, a Target, and most importantly, a Chick-fil-A!! (This of course is the main reason we decided to go to Erie for our Extravaganza.) It was glorious and totally worth it.


We had so much fun and all our Christmas shopping is done! Now I just need to finish the wrapping.

Just for the heck of it, here is a super cute picture of Boston with his huge rawhide cigar:


And finally here is my 29 week picture, taken December 6th, 2009. I really feel like I have grown a lot in the last couple of weeks, don't you?!
