HaPpY HaLlOwEeN! 10/31/08

We decided to tick or treat the nurses that took care of us Halloween night as well as every other night we were there. They loved we dressed Braxton up. Other couples came out of their rooms to see the cute bunny! These wonderful ladies were our night time nurses. The lady on the left Ethel helped teach Braxton to breastfeed. She was so nice and really worked with the two of us for hours each evening. The lady in the middle Lori was there throught the horrible 3 hours of pushing before the c-section. She loved to come in and see the fruits of my labor. She really loved just visting with Braxton. The lady on the right Norma was more all about the recovery of me. She made sure my pain was under control and I had everything I needed. She did take care of Braxton as well but she really was about making me comfortable. WE APPRECIATED EACH OF THEM!

We tried to get a cute picture of Payton and Braxton in their costumes. Payton wanted to trick or treat more than pose for pictures. I thought this picture is funny because Braxton nicely lays there while Payton screams. It is just a matter of time before this sweet child of ours turns 2!

Here is a happier picture of the cutest Mickey Mouse ever!

Aunt Candace went and found a Halloween Costume of Braxton. She found an adorable bunny suit. With Braxton's golden skin this outfit was just perfect. Seeing my baby boy in this costume took my breath away!
(For some reason it would not let me put the rotated pic up)
Braxton First UT Tailgate Party 11/01/08 
Candace and Payton came by to "tailgate" with us. Greg and my mom came by as well. We had wings and watched the game. This was the first of many UT games Braxton will watch with his father.

Our FIRST Family Photo! I would have prefered something more formal or not football based! Either way it is a moment to treasure!
