November 2011

And that brings us to November!  We went to the Lighting of the Courthouse in Covington.  Henry was at Grandma & Grandpa's - he was sick with lung stuff & pink eye :(  We went ahead and took Em as planned & froze our tails off!  Here's Emma & Daddy in front of the Christmas tree.

You can see Henry's pitiful pink eyes in this one, but I had to include it - Emma put his socks on his hands & said they were sock puppets!  Too funny.

My happy little guy

On Thanksgiving, my parents hosted.  My family tried to get a Christmas card picture for my mom's card. Here's my Mom & Dad, David, Me, Emma, & Henry, & my brother Cory & sister-in-law Courtney. This was the best one - lol. 

Poor little chunky boy.

Then we officially got our house ready for Christmas!  We decorated a Ginger Bread house! 

And we took a picture of the kids for our Christmas Card!

Halloween 2011

So, what can I say, working full time kind of kicks my butt.  I'm going to try to do better - we're in our "slower" season at work, so I'm less exhausted when I get home! I'm going to try to hit the high points & then blog more often to keep up! 

So....Halloween!  Emma wanted to be Snow White this year, so Henry was "Happy" her dwarf.  I figured, there won't be too many years to do a theme, might as well do it while we can! 

I went to Emma's Halloween Parade at school.  She had such a fun time with her class. 

A special visitor crossed the hall to visit her & her friends.  She loved that :) 

Aunt Susan's school had a trick or treat at their dorms, so we visited!  Aunt Susan's hall was all princesses, Emma loved that!

Aunt Susan was Anastasia! 

On Halloween night, Emma & Daddy went Trick or Treating in our neighborhood, which was lots of fun & Emma's first time! She loved getting all that candy!

Crazy kids

5 Months Old

Henry turned 5 Months old on September 30th.  Such a sweet, happy little guy!

I had to include this one because you can kind of see his little tooth on bottom!

I love this slobbery precious little boy!!!

Grandparents' Breakfast

The kids' school hosted a Grandparents' Breakfast one morning - Grandma & Grandpa were able to come down & go with Emma, so David & I decided to go too. 

Emma loved showing her grandparents off to her friends.

Breakfast was good too!  We were thankful Emma was ok with all of us leaving, so we determined we could visit her at school again.  We stopped by & loved on Henry a few minutes before heading back to work!

Happy Fall Y'all!

Every year we go to Burt's Pumpkin Patch to pick our our pumpkin.  This year, the weather was nice, so we took the hay ride!

Pumpkin patch

Aunt Courtney & Uncle Cory came too

On the hayride, you get to see talking pumpkins - Autumn & Gordy

Atchie & Robbie came too

Our little family

This one will probably be my mom's Christmas card picture

This was sadly the best picture I got of my kids together.... I took many.

Uncle Cory was so sweet with Emma, she wanted to help him. 

Little man took a few sweet pictures with the pumpkins.  He got his first pumpkin & his first tooth the same day!

Emma with all our haul.  Between us, my parents, Cory & Courtney, & Atchie & Robbie, we had 3 wheelbarrows full!

Weighing a sweet sack of apples!

First Foods

Henry's doctor recommended skipping rice cereal & going straight to Fruits & Veggies.  Henry's first food was sweet potatoes - he liked them!

Since then he's had peas (yuck!), carrots, squash, bananas, apples, pears....& he's even started eating puffs! Those are his favorite!
