Happy Thanksgiving

We had a full house for Thanksgiving. There was enough food to feed a small army!

Happy Halloween!

Pumpkin Patch and more..........

Nate is 2 1/2 now and Caitlin is 10 1/2 months. We had a blast at the pumpkin patch.

Nate is funny!

Two nights ago Nate asked if he could have a graham cracker. Sure I say
I am tired so I run out to the kitchen and grab one but it breaks in half - oh well I think half will do.
Upon returning to his room I hand it to him and he says "Mom I want a rectangle" I say Nate what do you have, his answer "a square". OH okay so I get him the other half, after all he was using his shapes.
The next night he says mom can I have a graham cracker and I respond "sure" He says" May I please have a rectangle"
How funny!

On Sunday we are on a tractor hayride to the pumpkin patch. Nate seems to be enjoying himself when all of a sudden the tractor stops. The drives says we are not at the pumpkin patch yet I am having trouble with the tractor. Nate says loudly " It needs new batteries!"

Congrats to the Guthrie Family

I almost forgot, Grayson Ted Guthrie was born two weeks ago weighing in around 8lbs and is doing great!

Happy October

Caitlin loves wagon rides

I know I know it has been too long, so much has happened since my last post. The house was finally moved and we should break ground on the new house any day now. Caitlin started walking a few weeks ago and has been picking up the pace. Mom left dad and the kids for four days and escaped to the mountains with Blythe and the girls. Even more amazing she came home , okay she missed the little devils! The family went to Chapel Hill last weekend for visit with Bob and Alice. Carl went to a football game and watched UNC beat Miami, he had a blast!

Nathan loves to sing, his favorites are 5 little pumpkins and the wheels on the bus. He loves to listen to moms ipod. Caitlin loves to say and wave Bye Bye, she also says Hi and she is no longer nursing. Dad and Mom are having a party this weekend to celebrate the fact that no one is relying on me for nutrition. THERE WILL BE A KEG! THe neighborhood is lame but we are adjusting. I went out to buy Caitlin shoes today but they don't make a size that small in shoes for walkers oh well she has to wear slippers until she is a size 4 maybe next year. Okay well here are some pics, Nate chasing leaves, Cait in the wagon. Time for me to find Caitlin she still sleeps very little. Her favorite pasttimes include, chasing the cat, playing in the dog bowls and eating any small objects she finds.

The House

The house is being moved to granny's land this week. We are all keeping our fingers crossed for a smooth move. We hope it fits over the bridge!
The garage is already detached from the house and attached to the trailer shown on the right.

We set up the fish tank now Dory has a proper home and 16 new friends. Nate and Cait love it!

Last weekend Jason, Janelle and Bryn came to visit and spent the night. It was Nate and Caitlins first slumber party. We all had a blast!

A dark week

Caitlin can stand alone.

Nate walking into school, rolling his eyes at me because I am taking his picture. Yes my 2 yr old rolls his eyes at me!

When Nate wakes up in the morning he climbs into the crib with Cait Cait and they bounce around until Mom or Dad get up.

Dads birthday party!

Well not a bad week just dark. Carl had eye surgery PRK on Monday and his eyes have been very sensitive to the light, so we have had lights off, and blinds closed. I AM GOING CRAZY. Doc said no beach this weekend! WHAT NO BEACH ON LABOR DAY WEEKEND! I am a little upset, I guess I will survive.

Summer Fun

Hello, Hello,... is anyone there?

After a summer heat wave last week things are a bit cooler, low 90's.

Everyone is doing well, nothing new. Nate still doesn't eat much and Cait still doesn't sleep much. Here are a few of my favorite pics of the week. Nate got a letter from Nora and he loves looking at her picture. If he is not looking at Nora he is looking at his new goldfish he named Dory. He got Dory as a party favor from Kamden's birthday party last weekend. He loves to feed Dory " a teeny tiny pinch" of food. Also included is Nate's first trip to the icecream truck with Grandma he now watches for the icecream truck daily. Cait Cait is eating well, better than Nate but does not sleep, can't have it all!

Major P

Nate helps mom pin on Dad's new rank -- gold leaves

We have a sign in our front yard so everyone knows our name!

Check out Cait standing with some help from teh sofa! Not long now--- my life is over!

The pool is just down the street but mom does not brave it alone . We go after dad gets home from work.

Carl got his promotion to Major on Tuesday. If I type anything Carl will say I am a smart ass because he does not believe I am genuine about anything. So I guess I will not even try--- I really am proud of you Carl. Might of well add a smart ass comment now. The only difference between Capt and Major is now he gets to work out 5 hours a day instead of 4.

We are all doing well, okay Mom is a bit bored but she is writing some manuscripts to fill the time and hoping to find a partner in crime soon. It is hard to match the St. Pete crew but I guess I must try.

Okay I just rolled over Caitlins toes with my chair the girl is tough she stopped crying already.
