There are presents to be wrapped, cookies to be iced, and lots of Christmas errands to be run…

but, first things first!

My Samantha sunshine!
I took the boys up for their annual checkup on Monday. They were thrilled…

ha! But, 8 and 10 year old visits are pretty easy. No shots, no nothing really – especially when you are healthy and growing like these boys!
Maxwell is 54.5 inches tall (41st %)and 65.8 lbs (27th %). Maxwell grew 2.5 inches and gained 8 lbs! Dr. Walley was super impressed with his growth and said the year between 9 and 10 doesn’t usually show this much growth so that’s a great sign for Maxwell! Hooray! I think it was all that football conditioning! Β π
Spencer is 51 inches tall (50th %) and 58.2 lbs (55th %). That’s a gain of 2 inches and 5 lbs from last year. Also impressive! Maxwell at age 8 was 50 inches tall and 52.4 lbs so quite a bit lighter.
They are both steadily growing just as they should. Will be interesting to see who ends up taller!

On Saturday night, Robert went to watch the Alabama game with some friends and Maxwell went to ride go carts for his friend’s birthday!


The rest of us decided to have an Ss only dinner!




I couldn’t ask for better dates on a Saturday night!
