Sorry for the delay in the post...we've been busy....very busy trying to wrangle a now mobile Grayson Dean. So, we visited Kentucky for Thanksgiving. Grayson got to meet all of his Kentucky hillbilly family (ha-ha-ha), and he said to tell you all he loves you very much and can't wait to see you again in February.
We stayed with Uncle David and Aunt Rhonda, and had 50 people at Thanksgiving dinner at Mamaw and Papaw Rigsby's house. It was a wild and crazy time. Lots of babies were in the house, lots of food was in the house, and lots of people were in the house. It was good to see everybody and let everyone meet Grayson.
We also had a little mini-reunion for the West Carter class of 1996 at Patrick and Julie Perry's house. It was really good to see everybody and catch up over the past 10 years. It was not nice to show the video of me cheerleading at a pep rally in high school (I'm gonna get you for that Julie!).
We just celebrated Grayson's first Christmas here in Oregon with Mel's family. He got tons of presents, but he loved the bows, wrapping paper and boxes most of all. In fact, we're keeping one of the boxes for him to play on for a while. It's really fun to watch him squirm around on top of it. We had Christmas dinner at Mel's parents' house, and all three of the grandkids were in attendance (Devon 2, Grayson 7 mos, and Kyle 7 wks). That was a busy house as well. Those three boys are going to be lots of trouble for lots of people in the near future. We think Grayson will be leading the pack.
Grayson is now crawling, pulling himself up and standing on his own against anything that is taller than him. We've got a few videos we'll put on YouTube. We've added a bunch of pictures from the holidays and general shots on the picture website.
Me and Grayson will be traveling to Florida and Kentucky in February for a vacation for Mom. She's going to try and get the time off. She's starting a new job at work and she's not sure what her schedule will be yet. We'll be in Florida Feb 13 - 16, and then up to Kentucky to watch my little brother Jarred play his Senior Night basketball game in Raceland. Travelling back to Oregon on the 19th.
Hopefully we'll get to see everyone we didn't get to see at Thanksgiving (Uncle Ron??!). So, go check out the videos and pictures, and we'll talk to you soon.

Love and miss you all,
Brad, Mel and Grayson
P.S. And just for the record, I did ride my Uncle David's bull, Brutus. Now he needs to be in my freezer for dinners. HA-HA-HA!
