Birthday Season


 We celebrated Caitlin's birthday a few weeks early as the gymnastics place was closed the weekend before and on her birthday due to Thanksgiving. Aunt Ali came down and while Mom was in the kitchen making pies for the Poe Thanksgiving , Ali made the cake!

 Horses of course. I think this will be our last year at the gymnastics place.


 Good times


 She had a great time! Happy 7th Birthday Caitlin!

Report Cards

 
 Friday nights are family game night and movie night. Last night was Connect Four and watched Wallace and Grommet , very very good movie. For those of you out there searching for Christmas gifts for the kids we sure could use some games for game night. We really have zero. We love games so anything would be awesome and we have none
 
Nathan and Caitlin had great report cards. Nathan got his first report card with grades. He got the Principal's Award which means, all A's! Setting the bar high for his first report card. Way  
 We visited Bob and Alice last weekend. Bob has very little short term memory but he still remembers me and has fun playing with the kids. He is playing chase with Owen from his wheelchair and then Owen shared a box of cheerios with him. He looks mean in this picture but he really was all smiles and so happy to see us.
 Alice is still as sharp as a tack, almost amazing. Caitlin just like I did as a child loves playing with her magnets.
  We went Eno River State Park , it was a pretty fall day. Doesn't this look like a great location for Christmas pictures.

 Nate you can hardly see him through the cammo jacket


Another long weekend!

  I am a little behind from Halloween night, Owen really wasn't in to wearing a costume so I thought of this and he was all in. It was comfy and one of his most favorite things fishing!
 This is his preschool class. They look like they are posing for a mug shot ! Things to come ! hahaha

 While the big kids  were at piano , Owen and I hit the beach I had dreams of just sitting and watching the surf and relaxing. As soon as I sit down he starts screaming lets leave , go home, go home, geez kid give your mom a break. Oh well I am going back soon ALONE!!!!
