• Benjamin is FINALLY off the bottle.  We went cold-turkey last weekend, and it was actually pretty easy.  And, now that he's not drinking 30+ ounces of whole milk a day, he has a big appetite and will eat pretty much anything you give him.

• Benjamin needs to have tubes put back in his ears.  This time, they are going to remove his adenoids too.  Hoping and praying this will help him get through the winter cold and flu season without any of those bad ear infections (he's already had three ear infections since August).  Surgery is scheduled for early December.

• We went to Jacksonville for the Florida/Georgia football game.  The game was pretty craptastic, but we had a ton of fun hanging out on Jose's Hideaway!

• While in Jacksonville, we got to visit Paw Paw.  He looks really good after his stroke this spring. Owen had a blast playing with him.  Great memories!

• We had a little impact from the winds/storms of Hurricane Sandy.  A large dead tree fell down in our back yard.  Fortunately, no one was hurt, and our playset only got a little bit of damage.  Lou worked for days to cut up all the limbs and break apart the trunk to move it from the grass.  Thanks honey!

• I bought the boys a bunch of winter/cold weather clothes last weekend.  I bought mostly 18 month stuff for Benjamin.  Got it all home and washed, and when I dressed him this week, they all fit perfectly.  Too perfectly in fact, which means that in about a month, they will be too small on him.....  oh well.  At least Carter's clothing is only about $4 a piece!  Owen is wearing a size 4T pretty well.  

• We booked our plane tickets to Michigan for Christmas!  Woo hoo!

• We booked our plane tickets to St. Thomas!  Woo hoo!

• That's all for now.
