The Smith Family: October 2011

Jump Jump Jump

Marilyn thought her bath robe was the perfect attire for trampolining... combined that with her sunnies, and I couldn't agree more. I think she looks like a little Rocky getting ready for a fight.

Spencer also loves jumping. Here he is...
all smiles in his exersaucer.

This is what Marilyn and Spencer looked like for the first week after school. Exhausted! Marilyn was asleep at 4:45pm for the rest of the night on the first day. She has done better since then but some days it is hard to make it to 7:00pm.

First Day of School

Marilyn started pre-school this year! She is attending Greenwood Christian School and loves it! This was her first morning. She even armed herself with a pretend cup of coffee. She definitely has an imagination.

First Food

Our little guy is getting so big! Here was his first taste of rice cereal. As you can see, big sister Marilyn was nearby cheering him on... literally, with her pom poms in hand.

Florida & Nashville

On our way to Florida, we were lucky to stay with Grandma Jane and Pappaw Don for a reprieve from the road. While there, Uncle Chris & Aunt Abbey came to visit as well! Marilyn was thrilled and took this opportunity to try her hand at various fancy hair dos. I do think it may have been motivated by the hair in the Grinch Stole Christmas Movie that she watched with Grandma Jane. Her hair do's resembled some of their fancy looks.

Our Family of Four on the Beach

We were spoiled with a week-long vacation in Santa Rosa Beach, FL with Aunt Kate, Uncle Brett, Grandpa & Grandma. It was full of long beach days, pool time and lots of cards and delicious food. However, Spencer had a hard time adjusting to the new surroundings and did not sleep well... thank goodness for naps!

Miss Water Bug with Grandpa in the pool

On our way back from Florida, we were able to visit with Hunter's Dad, Grandmother and his Aunts and Uncles. It was wonderful to see everyone and introduce them to the newest Smith.

Even More Family Time

Marilyn playing with her dolls. Apparently Molly needed a visit to Time Out!

Playing in the exersaucer is exhausting... Spencer was taking a break.

Family Time

Hunter's Mom sent us a special present for Spencer... a Woombie. At first we questioned it but after a peaceful night of sleep, we knew it was wonderful. We also thought it was adorable to see our little love stuffed into his "zipper suit" and ready for bed.
