It's been a while...

Hello friends and family! I have fallen way behind on monthly updates on Grady and any other posts, to be honest. Life got way too busy once school was in full swing. Here's an update through way too many pictures. Enjoy!
Just hanging out with Granny and Pawpaw
Bath-time face-time with daddy
Swinging at Madison and Joanna's house
First bath with a friend
Just hanging out with friends
Face timing with daddy while taking a bath. Grady and I stayed at Zac's mom's house for about five weeks without Zac. Then, Zac was able to get a job in Russellville. So our long distance relationship/living lasted only five short weeks. Everything worked itself out perfectly!
Loving his weekend Daddy time.
Just hanging out with Remi

Buying some pumpkins with momma..
I loved driving to my parent's house to pick up Grady and seeing them outside waiting for me. I'm SO blessed to have a mother who is able to watch Grady two days a week and a cousin to watch him the other three. God has truly blessed us more than words can fully express by allowing this move to take place at this point in our lives. Thank you both (Mom and Natalie/Chris) for watching Grady. I'm so glad I don't have to worry about his care while I'm working.
I also love the fact that he still reaches for me when I pick him up. :)
I love seeing new expressions everyday!
Loving my afternoon with Aunt Hilery!
My little stinker at Trunk or Treat

Good morning momma! (Hilda sent me this picture on the weekend Zac and I went and finished packing up the house in Fort Smith.)
Just playing in Grammy's kitchen.
He loves to drink bath water...
Sweet expressions!
Loving to roll around and explore the new house while momma and daddy unpack.

One of my favorite pictures to date.
Such a big guy! He turned 11 months old on Monday. We moved into our new house on the 15th. This past week has been crazy getting some new appliances installed, painting pretty much the entire house, and getting a fence put up. Life is just now getting somewhat organized and back to normal. So, if you come over anytime soon, please excuse the boxes and mess. But who am I kidding, my house is my home, and my home is always a little messy. :) Yes, I plan on posting some before and after pictures eventually. Our bedroom was mauve, guest bedroom was lilac, and Grady's room was bright blue. Now, the entire house is painted a neutral shade of tan. It really warms up the place and makes it feel even more like home.
Grammy love!!
Lots has happened in the last three months. Zac started a new job in Russellville back in September. We are both really enjoying the changes. We both ran a half marathon back on October 26th in Conway. It was my first half to complete and was such a rewarding experience! Zac ran his in 1:45:14 with a pace of 8:07/mile. He was number 156 to finish. I'm extremely proud of him. (And he had knee surgery just three months before he ran.) He will be running a full marathon in Memphis on December 7th. With everything that has gone on lately, he may not be as prepared as he wanted to be; however, I'm sure it will be an exciting accomplishment when he's finished. I ran Soaring Wings with my friend Jade. We ran it in 2:30:49 with a pace of 11:31/mile. I was pleased with my time but would really like to try and run it faster. Since the race, I really haven't made the time to run as much as I should. I'm hoping that after Thanksgiving and now that we are completely moved, I will be able to pick back up running regularly again.
Anyway, I hope you all are enjoying your weekend! I've definitely gotten a lot done on the house and have enjoyed some much needed family time, warming by the fireplace.
Much love,
Emily
