Happy Fall Y'all! (sort of)











Once again it's been forever since I've updated the blog. My apologies for anyone that might actually read my blog (all 2 of you!). It's been another sick fall for the Garrison home and I'm using that as my excuse for never updating on here. But despite being so sick for so long, we have managed to have some fun times and have some cute pictures to share. The sick season actually started when we took the boys to their first UGA game. Unfortunately Nolan ran a fever during the game (103!) and he turned out to have croup and bronchitis. But he was a trooper and really enjoyed himself in the beginning. Both boys did a great job cheering on the Dawgs! We also got to meet up with Lauren, TJ and the kids which made it even more fun!
Other fun highlights to our fall include Soccer season. Nicholas had a great time this year playing with his friend Connor. What a difference a year makes! Nicholas was actually really good this year and knew what he was doing. He was a little hesitant at times and sometimes would stay just behind the person with the ball but he soon got over that and jumped right in and did a great job of scoring goals! Nolan did a great job cheering on his big bro and really wanted to get out there and join him!
We also got some cute pictures at Holly's sister Melissa's wedding up in Dahlonega--so beautiful, at our annual trip to Uncle Shuck's pumpkin patch, and my good friend Kim took some great pictures of my side of the family along the river at Roswell Mill.
Then came Halloween! I was very excited when Nicholas decided that he wanted to be Woody again for the 2nd year and both boys were excited for Nolan to be Buzz Lightyear. They were so cute and had so much fun Trick or Treating with family and neighborhood friends! Nolan knew just what to do! Nicholas was actually Buzz Lightyear when he was 2 also and it is so cute to see the pictures of both boys as Buzz!
Nick is having a great time at school this year and learning SO much. He took Daddy's book for show and tell last week for the letter G (Graham Garrison) and ever since that day, he's declared that he is an author. He no longer wants to draw his wonderful pictures of the family that he was drawing all the time, and now he just wants to write! He's been writing thank you cards and birthday cards and is doing a great job on all of his letters.
Nolan continues to crack us up all the time and is really growing! He loves his brother and copies his every move. They play great together and Nolan surprisingly does a great job of playing independently with his new love of trains and cars.
I love these boys so much and all the time we get to spend together, even if we are sick a lot! I'm hoping though that we are at the end of all this craziness and can enjoy the holidays coming up. :)
