Happy Thanksgiving!

I just want to say how thankful I am to have such a wonderful, loving family and friends in my life! I wish we could all get together more often and spend more time together, but I do cherish the good times we share. Here are a few snapshots from Thanksgiving at My eldest sister's house...I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving with lots of food, fun, and family! From my family to yours... Happy Holidays.

Halloween...

I seem to be posting about things late, so I'll just keep with the trend... For Halloween Logan dressed up like a hobo -the same costume that my sisters and I wore when we were younger, and Coleton has worn for the previous two years- I was so excited to be able to use it this year! I never thought that Logan would think differently... That is until I tried to get him to put it on. He ABSOLUTELY did not want to wear those weird pants (The jacket he was ok with)... that is until I told him if he put on the costume people would give him candy. So he gave in and of course I had to give him a treat for putting it on.

I was a little worried about how Logan would do with the face paint, but surprisingly he didn't fight it at all! He even loved having two different shoes on... so much in fact, that for the three days following he wouldn't let us put matching shoes on him! What a silly silly boy.

We went out on Halloween with friends of ours to our 4th Avenue shopping district. We got to Trick-or-Treat at all the little shops down the street, there was a costume contest for the kids, and a police officer even pulled over to give Logan some candy! He was a little weary at first, but quickly warmed up at the sight of candy. Logan got quite a few comments from people on his costume, and how it was so cute how he would say 'trick-or treat' (tri-uh-tree) and happy Halloween (ha-ha heeeen). We all had a good time, including Hunter (who slept most of the time in the stroller), but the highlight for Logan was at the very end of the evening. As we were walking back to the car a fire truck drove past, and at first one of the firefighters waved to him (because he was awestruck at the sight of the 'big truck') but then they all hung out the windows and sides of the truck to wave at him!

I can't wait until next year!

Quick update...

I know it's been a while since I've posted anything, but I've been busy!

So for a quick update on Hunter... He is now 9 weeks old (my how the time has flown) is 22in long and 10.5lbs! He is finally on the growth chart curve at a whopping 25th percentile, and he's not showing any signs of stopping! He is smiling a lot -especially after he spits up on me... like it's so funny to me, but it comes with the territory.

Logan is a good big brother, but like any almost two year old he has his moments when he wants all the attention, has small break-downs, and tests his mommy and daddy's patients. He is really trying to expand his vocabulary... he will point at something and try to repeat the words you say. It is very cute!

Not much has changed with Robert and I... except that today I went back to work. I would definitely prefer to be home with the kids, but bills need to be paid right, and I guess a little adult interaction is a positive too.

I'll post some pictures next time... until then.
