Happy Turkey Day

We had a lot to be thankful for this Thanksgiving as we celebrated Holden's first Thanksgiving. We spent the day with the Jonczak Family and introduced Holden to all of the traditions we celebrate each year. He even had his first bite of turkey, and loved it!

Grandpa Jonczak stopped by for a visit...

And cousins Natalie and Caleb had lots of cool toys to play with...

And we added Holden's fingerprints to the family tablecloth so we can watch him grow over the years.

Roy's Next Recruit

Basketball season has finally begun, and Holden finally got to experience his first UNC basketball game! I'm pretty sure Roy had his eyes on him as the next recruit for the class of 2032.

Holden was very serious when he was studying the plays...

He checked out the crowds around us...

and cheered the Tar Heels on to a victory...

The next day, Holden picked up some basketball tips from Serge Zwikker, who played for Carolina from 93-97. He said Holden showed great potential...

A UNC Tradition..A Visit to the Old Well

What a beautiful day in Chapel Hill...UNC got by William & Mary for a win, and Holden had his first drink of water from the Old Well. Now he's officially a UNC fan!

Happy Halloween!

Halloween was packed full of fun activities. Here are some highlights of our cute little Giraffe on his first Halloween!

We kicked the day off with a picnic at Lake Crabtree with some friends and their kids. Sam (monkey) and Holden were a little confused about what was going on...and Joe (fish) just went with the flow!

The moms and their babies...

Trick-or-Treat. We took Holden around to experience trick-or-treating, and he even got a few pieces of candy!

This candy is yummy!

State Fair

We took Holden on his first trip to the State Fair, and he enjoyed it just as much as we did - especially the people watching. We look forward to taking him to the Fair each year to continue our tradition!

Our Little Pumpkin

On the way home from Charlottesville, we made a stop at the Apple Orchard to pick apples and go to the pumpkin patch. Holden and Sam even had a little time to play! We did a good job picking the apples because they were yummy!

UNC Road Trip

We took Holden on his first road trip to see UNC take on UVA in Charlottesville. It was a fun-filled weekend of football that started off with tailgating. He played with his friend Sam in the back of the car, and took a nap before the game. He got to see his Aunt Kara who came up for the game since she is a UVA grad. Holden learned to clap and cheered on the Heels as they finally won in Charlottesville - the first win in Charlottesville since 1981!
