Miller's 2 month Check-up

This past Tuesday Miller went in for her 2 month check-up as well as her first round of immunizations. She now weighs in at 11.08 ounces and is 21 1/2 inches long. The first thing was her drinking this liquid for the roto virus. The nurse said most babies don't like it because it is sour but it didn't bother Miller one bit. Then came the 3 needles. All together she had 5 immunizations but some of them were combined into one shot. After the first shot in her right leg, and a hysterical wahl, she got 2 more in her left leg. By this time it sounded like she had stopped breathing because she was crying so hard. Boy did it break my heart. But we survived and she was a trooper through it all. We get to do it all over again in 2 months for her 4 month shots.

Fall Fest at Church

On the Sunday night after Halloween our church hosted a Fall Festival for kids of all ages. It was quite a sight to see all the costumes as well as the adults costumes. They had a cake walk that DeDe worked, Blow up toys you jump in, a magic show, all kinds of carnival games like bobbing for apples and a dunking booth, and some of the best grilled corn around as well as hot dogs, nachos, turkey legs, & more candy than the local Wal-mart... do you get my drift? It was a Hit in the town. We decided to take Miller up there in her costume for people to ooohhh and aahhh over so Shane and I could enjoy all the food and candy! We're still kids at heart. Ü

Sunday School Pumpkin Party

On the night of Halloween we had our Adult 1 Sunday School class over for a Pumpkin Party which gave us a reason to light our burn pile that has been collecting fallen limbs and leaves for months now. We also had each couple bring a pumpkin to carve... What FUN! But the best guest of all was a stinging BUMBLE BEE named Miller! She was the star of the night. At first, she was not crazy about the costume but eventually got used to it. I think it reminded her of the womb because it was so warm and cushioned. We were very excited that Uncle Cory and Megan got to come in for the weekend as well.
Miller's First Halloween

Pooped after Walmart trip

Miller was catching up on her rest after a long and exhausting grocery trip to Wal-mart on Saturday. Thankful Gigi and G-Pop had to go grocery shopping as well so they decided to come with us and shop with Miller so we could get our groceries. Needless to say, Miller was exhausted!

Western Days

Mamaw & Pap came down for Miller's first Western Days. Western Days is a big event in Hallsville held every year. It begins on Friday night with a football game. Then Saturday morning is a parade and locals set up booths to sell items they make. Uncle Bud had a booth selling his beautiful birdhouses. Then Saturday evening is the Miss Hallsville Pageant for Hallsville High School Senior girls. Mamaw & Pap watched Miller at the Dairy Queen while Shane & I walked around the different booths.

Tommy Miller "Run for the Prize"

In honor of dad, Coach Dean McDaniel decided to host a Tommy Miller "Run for the Prize" 5K run through Hallsville. It turned out to be a huge success as well as raised money for the Tommy Miller Memorial Scholarship Fund. Over 150 contestants participated including children who ran a 3K. We see everyday how dad's legacy still lives on.

Miller's First trip to Dallas

We headed to the Big D on Thursday, October 9th, for several reasons. 1) Uncle Cory's 27th Birthday 2) Mommy needed to get out of Longview & 3) Miller was ready for her first big shopping trip to Dallas. It was such a fun and exciting getaway for The Goswick Family and DeDe. When we arrived on Thursday evening we met Uncle Cory and Megan as well as Logan and Gloria Gaddis at a Sushi Restraunt to celebrate Uncle Cory and Logan's Birthdays. As the weekend went on, Miller got to see what it was like to shop all day for 3 days. Mommy did give her a break for one day and let her stay at Uncle Cory's appartment with Shane and Uncle Cory to catch up on some football. As the weekend came to an end and we said our goodbyes Miller went right to sleep. She was POOPED! Overall we were so proud of her on her first road trip.
