My sweet little man

My sweet little man. I just LOVE this little guy. He's growing up so quickly!

Poor little thing - he was put on antibiotics for a sinus infection a week ago. Then yesterday, he developed an allergy to the antibiotics and is covered in hives. He was also diagnosed with an ear infection which we now cannot treat until the hives have cleared. He isn't sleeping (because of the ear) and he just broke a tooth!

Hosting Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving from a pilgrim and indian

We've been talking about Thanksgiving, pilgrims, and indians. Clayton, in vintage Clayton style, looked at me after one of our lessons and asked very seriously, "Did the indians have a red vacuum?" No. "Did the indians have a green swiffer?" No. "Oh."

Ballet Class

Some footage (not the best footage, but it will have to do!)

1st ballet performance

I took Caroline to her first ballet on Sunday. It was a performance of Angelina Ballerina, one of her favorite books.
She LOVED it and couldn't wait to get home to put on a tutu!

Visit with cousins

My cousins Karrie and Kimmie came to visit with their children. I haven't seen them in over 6 years. It was wonderful to see them and meet their kids!

All the little munchkins - Clayton, Caroline, Madelyn, Austin, A.J., & Jackson.

Karrie and baby Jackson

Austin, A.J., and Jackson. Austin is almost 8 months and Jackson is only 3 months - and I think Jackson weighs more than Austin!

Away

Kevin has been out of town for pretty much the last month on business trips. He typically has flown out Sunday afternoon and then returned late Thursday or Friday night. The kids and I have MISSED him!

Here are C&C coloring a "Welcome Home Daddy!" banner.

My little man and his favorite toy

All by Myself

"Look Mama, I can put on my jacket ALL BY MYSELF!"

He is really growing up. He wants to be more independent and is forming more opinions of his own. He is also starting to make very good observations about the things around him.
The other day, after I went to the bathroom, he said "Yay! Mama, now you get M&Ms?"
He is starting to show some interest in potty training too. The other day, he went into the bathroom by himself, removed his diaper, and peeped in the little potty!...and on top of the potty, underneath the potty (how is that even possible?), all over the floor, and on his jammies. He was SO proud of himself (and was very excited for the M&Ms).

Waiting for the "Nit"...

Meredith's baby is set to make his arrival any day now...

We're so excited! We want to meet you little one!
