What's new with Sully?



Hello everyone! It has been too long since our last blog entry! Sully has been a very busy boy! Sullivan started a new sports class that works on basketball, T-ball, and soccer--he LOVES it! It is hilarious to watch all the little boys in his class interact and play! Sullivan also helps me teach a swim class twice a week at the Y. It is a parent/tot class and since he has taken it a bunch already with me, he is the guinea pig and the demonstrator for me when I teach! Sully just loves the water, so it is a fun activity for us to do together. Sullivan is also becoming quite the talker! His speech has really picked up over the past month and he is saying so many new things each day. He has started saying 3-4 word sentences that are understandable--but, there are still many times when he rambles on about things that we have no idea! He is SO chatty, so when all those words start coming together, we are going to be having some fun conversations! Sully still loves school and all of his friends in the class. They work on different colors and shapes and it is amazing how much he has picked up over the past few months!

A few weeks ago, Sully and I went down to Lenox mall to ride the Pink Pig train. It has been an Atlanta tradition since the 50's! The train is set up each year at Christmas time, so we went before the crowds and lines. It was the perfect day because it was so early in the season that nobody else was there. Sully had a blast and wanted to keep riding it around and around. I snapped a quick picture before the ride started.
Choo! Choo!
This year for Thanksgiving, we made a fun trip up to Kentucky. Sully had a great time and went to his first UK football game! It was a great game--too bad UK couldn't pull it out at the end! We, unfortunately, didn't bring the camera, so we don't have any pictures to share. It was a fun weekend!
Today, Sully and I met up with some friends at the park. We tried out a new place and it was great because the Chattahooche river was close and we were able to go see a lot of geese! Sully loves the "Honk, honks!" Here are some cute pictures of our morning at the park!
Sully going down the slide!
Sully is getting quite good at climbing and can always find a fun place to climb at the park...here he goes...
Hey, Mommy! Here I go...
Almost at the top!
He made it to the top and decided to hang from the top bar!
Sully found a pile of leaves!
So fun!
Time to go visit the geese by the river!
Sully LOVES to watch the geese! He and Tyler and Malley sat on a step and watched!
Hey, Malley, look!
What a sweet picture!
Goofy Sully smile!
Hope you all have a great rest of your week! We have about 3-6 weeks left until Baby P arrives, so we are taking advantage of our sleep at night and getting everything ready for a new little baby girl! Can't wait!

Happy Halloween!


Happy Halloween! We have been celebrating Halloween for the past week and Sully has enjoyed every minute! He was a fireman this year and was very proud of his costume! We started celebrating last week at playgroup. All of Sully's buddies dressed up and we took pictures and they played. Here are a few pictures of the event...


Jack, Libby, Brayden, Laine, Sophie, and Sully Fireman Sully at playgroup! Yesterday was Sully's fall festival and Halloween parade at school. It was so cute--his class came outside and walked around a few times in their costumes and then went back in, changed clothes, and then came out for the fall festival. There were crafts, stories, jumping pits, etc. It was a really fun morning at school for Sully. Enjoy the pictures...
Sully was very serious during the parade! He didn't really know what was going on and I tried really hard to get him to smile--no such luck!
Sully's favorite part of the festival was jumping with his buddies--the pictures are too cute!Jumpy! Jumpy! Sully kept coming over to say hi!
Sully had the best time--he was not happy to get out! Sully and his class at school after the parade!
Time for Trick or Treating!
Sully knew just what to do---he even said, "Trick or Treat!" Jordan, Sully, Jack, and Malley--Sully couldn't go Trick or Treating without his buddies, and...
his favorite fans! Sully loves to trick or treat with his friends and family! It was a fun night! We thought he would only go to a few houses---well, he ran up and down those driveways and we hit houses for over an hour--yeah for yummy candy!
After we got home, Sully sat with Grancie and organized all of his candy--do we have another Lindsay on our hands? She would categorize all of her candy each Halloween--Sully reminded me of her last night when we got home. He counted it, and talked about the colors, etc. Too funny!
A few weekends ago, Brett and I went up to the mountains with some friends. While there, we went to a festival and bought Sully some Woolly Worms--he played with them for a little while when we got home and then we set them free. Here are some pictures of Sully with the Woolly worms Brett and I brought back to Sully.
Very brave!
Brett and Tracy(and Baby P)--this was the incredible view from their deck at the condo--pretty nice!
Hope you enjoyed the pictures! Have a great rest of your week and weekend!
