Yeah, it's been over a month. I know, I know. It just seems like my days fly by. After a fantastic Thanksgiving at my parents house, here at the Hairs we're now gearing up for Christmas. We are planning on driving to Idaho on the 20th and hope to survive the 25+ hour car ride with two kids. I'd LOVE to hear any tips you may have. (Two people have already recommended doping them up on Benadryl...)
What I really wanted to do was boast about my incredible little family. First, Jason COMPLETED his first half marathon with FLYING COLORS! He ran it in 2 hours 8 min and was pretty happy with his time. He said he'd like to do another one and finish under 2 hours. I'm proud of him. Afterwards everyone kept saying how easy he made it look because he didn't seem to be in much pain (and, truthfully, he wasn't) and pretty much took it all in stride. I was beaming. He worked so hard to accomplish this goal (we all did, really) and I am very proud of him!
Jason is in the yellow shirt right beneath the Finish sign. 
Second, Macie worked hard a few days before Thanksgiving and got her first two teeth! She is also working hard right now at sitting up and can do it for about 10 seconds before she topples over. By Christmas she'll be sitting like a pro. I forgot how fun this stage is. She's curious about everything and grins easily. She is the easiest, most cheerful girl, and we just adore her.
Third, Adelyn is learning new things every day and developing quite the sense of humor. The other day she played a joke on Jason and then said, "Just kidding, Dude!" and busted up laughing. She loves singing Twinkle Twinkle Little Star at the top of her lungs in the store, and is usually wearing a hat--any hat--wherever we go.
Oh yeah, and here I am with my friends from church right before our ward/congregation participated in our city's parade. I walked behind our float and sang. It was such a great way to start off the season with the spirit of Christ. I have much to be grateful for.

Way to go Jason! Sitting up already! I'm sure the talking is non stop at your house with Addie. Cute update. A Christmas parade sounds fun.
Jason, there is a 1/2 marathon in Jackson, TN two weeks before spring finals. I'm thinking about doing it with my Brother in Law. You should join us!
Congratulations on the race!
And I love that she's wearing hats all the time. Cute!
Addie must have seen some pictures of you as a kid.
Who made that sign for your float? It looks great.
That is the longest drive EVER!! At least you only have two kids. I recommend having a portable DVD player and LOTs of movies Addie LOVES..rent a few new ones on Redbox and return them along the way. It took me 3 days to get there with 4 kids. LONG LONG trip. We also discovered Jadon got car sick. Not fun! Get a "special" bag with "special" toys in it...dollar store ROCKS! when you start going insane pull out a cool NEW toy. I saved the benedryl as last resort when I was ready to jump out of the car. Have fun and wish I was going now that the girls are a year older than last time. Merry christmas
Oh, the special bag is a good idea! We'll have to try that one out! Thanks, Betsie!
I forget how fast little ones grow!! I miss them and love them tons!
