Thanksgiving 2012, the end of an era and a new nephew

 
 
Well this past week has been an eventful one to say the least. It started off with Thanksgiving in Rock Hill. We were able to spend time with my in laws and 2 of my 5 neices and nephews, Daylen (9 months) and Peyton (almost 2 1/2)


 
We also got to go to a Northwestern highschool playoff game. Josh and I met when he was teaching at Northwestern and coaching girls basketball there. It is always good to go back and see some of his coaching friends. It was also nice to actually sit in the stands and watch a game with him and Jake.

 
When we came back from Rock Hill we decided to put up our tree. We never do a ton of decorating or get a real tree since we are always out of town during the holidays. But its fun for Jake to decorate the tree.
 
 
 
The following week Appalachian lost to Illinois state by one point due to a blocked extra kick in OT. The very next day Coach Moore resigned after 24 years at the helm of App State football. What a sad day. Coach Moore is a great man and has done so much for Josh and I and for Appalachain State. We would not be here without him. We will see within the next week who the next head coach will be.....

 
On Friday November 30th at 7:01pm my newest nephew entered the world. Brooks Blake Brantley. He weighed 7 lbs 9.5 oz and was 20.5 inches.

 
I think he looks a lot like Christie. Its funny that since its my sisters child it will be like having a second son. We will be his only aunt and uncle, except for Stephen's sister Elizabeth. We love him so much and I can't wait for him to grow up with Jake!
