Finally!

**I wrote this post last week--I have just been waiting for Blogger to be up and running to allow me to upload the photos--so some of it is a little old**

Finally here are some pictures of our little guy! Whew! It's been awhile-so I won't be writing all that much about the pictures. Halloween was quite awhile ago-so no need to go into that again. This bath time was also awhile ago-and then he saw Santa just last weekend. But you all will be able to decipher between them all. And there are also some photos of Gray's first Thanksgiving. He LOVED all of the food-just like his momma!

Grayson's Mimi came in town last week and his Great Aunt Carole came in town as well. They took him to the dr. on Friday for his 9 month check-up. It's a little over due since the original date that we had scheduled Gray was sick. This past week he got thrush from the antibiotics from his ear infection. This poor kid can never catch a break! He checked out just fine at his appointment-just a little bit underweight. They aren't too concerned about it yet-we'll just see what happens at his next appointment. I swear this kid eats ALL the time-and he's holding steady at 19 pounds.

We are finally moved-and it finally is starting to feel like it's our house. We went yesterday and bought a TV-it had been over 10 days since we had TV-which is pathetic-we were so excited to get it. What did people do before TV? We also have ordered furniture from some different stores-and it will all be delivered in the next few weeks. Sara came over today and we all decorated the house for Christmas while Gray was taking a nap. There wasn't that much to decorate since we don't really have any tables or anything-so it went pretty fast.

Another change that's happening is that I'm starting a new job on December 17. I'll be working for a local domestic violence shelter at the local SRS office. I'll be doing some safety planning and some teaching and outreach in regards to dv. I'm excited about the new change-but scared all at the same time. I have been at my current position for over 2 1/2 years. Making a huge change is always scary and exciting at the same time.

I think that's about it that's been going on with the Swindle family. Lots of changes coming about-but so far so good. Hope all is well with all of you-and you're enjoying your holidays!
