1st Annual Christmas Getaway??

We, meaning Becca and Bill, have just returned from a weekend getaway to the mountains.... WITHOUT kids!!!!!!!! Joined on this weekend by Sara, Jack, Kristin and Donnie..... but did I mention NO kids!!! It was a cold, wet, snowy weekend but a very relaxing way to spend the past 48 hours. So relaxing in fact, that all involved have decided to make this a new family tradition. However, there was concern raised over the wear and tear on the Grandparents as the number of grandchildren continues to grow!! (Well only if the other 2 couples ever start having kids... so this probably won't be an issue anytime soon!!)









So after a leisurely late morning breakfast, we did finally rescue Becca's parents from the pandemonium of our 3 kids. Upon picking them up it was visibly unclear who was more worn out.... kids or grandparents. Needless to say all involved took a long nap this afternoon. (as seen below) Now it is back to reality for the Pendergrass orphanage and trust me, the kids immediately returned to normality this evening as the dinner/bath/bed times issues picked up where they left off last Friday!!!

Vote Pendergrass '08

On Election Night '08 when it seems that the country is in for a change, what better time to update friends on the recent happenings of the Pendergrass family...

Hayden had successful eye surgery on Oct. 24th. And as you would expect with most kids, he bounced back faster than his mom and dad. After his surgery was over and despite proding from his parents, he could not be convinced to change his Halloween costume from a fireman costume to a pirate, and off came his patch.









Which brings us to Halloween Week. Yes, I said week not night, because with 3 kids there seems to be an endless series of Halloween parties. This meant many trips taking Hannah Montana, Fireman, and Snow White all over North Knoxville! It all ended on Halloween night with a cookout with friends that turned quickly into a mad dash for sweets, and ended with Becca sick on the bathroom floor!! (no pics of this included)

So Fall is starting off very eventful, but we would not have it any other way! Well except for the stomach bug that was passed around to EVERYONE in the family over 3 days!
