Andrew's 11 Birthday

 Andrew is now 11 years old. We are still being cautious with being around a big group - so he invited 2 friends from school (Michael McCarthy and Michael Davey) along with Eli and Ian. We took the boys to the Escape Room in Hattiesburg. Then they came over for pizza, smores and play. It was really a great birthday for Andrew. 

We also celebrated at the country club with our neighborhood friends. And we celebrated on his actual birthday at Cinco de Mayo. His favorite mexican restaurant. Andrew get a bean burrito with queso on top. The waiters are the restaurant sang to him and made the night really fun. 

It is wild to think that Andrew is a pre-teen. He started playing lacrosse and still loves football. He watches ESPN alot. He is the best brother to Sam. And HE LOVES Roscoe. And Ralphie. He is a great son. He is polite. Users manners. Loves to read. He has finished all the Harry Potter books and has watched all the movies. 

Andrew is a great conversationalist. He listens, asks questions and can talk all day with you. He is a straight A student at school and everyone likes him. 11 is going to be a good year for him.

Nobember 2020

Andrew ordered a salad at Tabella for the first time. I don't think he loved it. But he did like trying new things. We are so proud of this young man. 

 The rest of the pictures are from Thanksgiving weekend. We had thanksgiving with just the 4 of us. It was strange, but also really good. We ordered Honey Baked Ham meal and ate when we ready too. We also took pictures for the Christmas card and decorated for Christmas. 

My mom was in the hospital at Laird in Union, MS. My dad spent the holiday with her. 

Strange holiday because of the pandemic. But I have learned there have been some silver linings. Family time is the biggest silver lining!!!

Weekend in Carlisle, MS

 The old crew went to Carlisle one weened in November. I really enjoyed going and relaxing away from Hattiesburg. 

Andrew LOVES the outdoors. He loves to hunt, the loves to ride 4-wheelers, he loves to camp and etc...

This weekend was a hunting weekend. Sam is not a big hunter. He does not like to camp. He does not like to be bored in a hunting stand. But he was a trooper and went with all the boys. The moms (Candice, Lana and Jennifer) stayed behind and drank champagne and loved every minute of it. Since we had not been hanging out much with each other it was nice to catch up with friends. 

The boys did not see any deer. But did see some birds. :)
