monday :-(

I wish it wasn’t Monday already!  Monday means that Jamie has to go to work again and Jay and I aren’t the only ones that miss him while he is gone…

    so thankful- day 1

    Because Christmas decorations are already up in the stores, since the weather here is in the low 80′s, because the leaves are changing colors on the trees (ha- we live in Florida folks) and because we hope to enjoy time with family and stuff our bellies to capacity this week, it can only mean one thing- Thanksgiving is almost here!! And since we have been especially blessed this year we thought that we would take the week to tell you about a few things we are most thankful for. We hope that you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving and are able to enjoy it with those most dear to you…

    Make sure to check on posts from the rest of the week too…

    We are so thankful for our animals. They may drive us nuts sometimes but seriously our lives wouldn’t be complete without our furry family members!

      our weekend

      Since we stayed up late to snuggle in for a movie, since our little guy woke us us at 4:50am and then again at 7am, and since my eye lids are heavy and I’m having a hard time focusing you will be getting a view of our weekend in short (possibly fragmented) sentences and pictures. Enjoy- there are a lot of pictures; it was a long weekend for us…

      we had lunch with this guy

      these guys were there for lunch too (and Grandma and Aunt Nancy who aren't pictured)

      we knocked down towers made by this guy

      we hung out in the hammock

      we had a bunch of wagon rides

      we got some great veggies from the farmers market

      we got to wear hoodies because the weather was chilly

      we worked in the garden

      and we spotted this little beauty! (it's a squash in case you didn't know)

      we had a serious case of bed-head after our nap

      we were super cuddly after our nap- Mama didn't mind one bit!

      we were also super silly and smily after our nap

      we got to check out the birds on the lake after lunch

      we got to play with HDH cups while sitting on the table

      Mama attended a beautiful baby shower while the guys watched football

      hosted by this cute one ^ for this adorable Mama to be ^

      we made some yummy muffins with the help of this guy- recipe to come soon

      we wore pants that were too big and thought it was funny when they were pulled up to our armpits

      we played with Dolce, string and baskets...

      We had dinner at the Knights and took each other’s Holiday photos. I would show you- they are too cute- but I am a little traditional about the photos and think you may have to wait until the card comes in the mail to see it. I will tell you one thing though, I LOVE them, that’s for sure!

      we played with the kitties some more

      we drank juice from a cup- with a huge amount of assistance and only for a short while

      We hung out around the house on Monday
      Had lunch with Grandpa again- lucky ducks are we to have lunch twice within four days
      And Jamie and I celebrated out 5th year of knowing each other.  That’s one whole hand’s worth of time!!

      All in all it was a great weekend. Hope yours was too!

        lately…

        Lately, I have been pretty bad at updating you all on our happenings; however, I have been pretty good at soaking up every ounce of cuteness that my little Jay bird is oozing right now.  I have been enjoying my time with him, our time as a family and the laughter that fills our house these days…

        he's on the move (not full crawl yet) but still getting into "trouble"

        although he has been making his fair share of messes he is happy to help clean up too

        new favorite treat- an ice pop! those top teeth are really giving him trouble so the ice pop feels really great these days

        peaking out to see the animals- little stinker

        what happens when Daddy feeds you...

        playing with Piper and Daddy- Dolce looks on...

          in case you didn’t know

          we still have three furry children that live in our house, they just don’t get as much face time on the blog as they used to. Doesn’t mean that we don’t love them as much as we did but we do take fewer pictures of them now.

          Just so they don’t feel too neglected here are a few of them lately…

          she's so pretty...

          an advantage of having a baby in the house is having baby stuff to hide under :-)

            bowl full of mush

            Last Tuesday night (06-29) Jamie and I decided to try giving Jay rice cereal.  At our last Doctor’s visit the Doctor recommended trying it sometime after he turned 5 moths old so he could get used to eating and having food put in his mouth.  Up until this point he has been exclusively breast fed via the bottle or the milk truck (Daddy’s really sweet nickname for me) so I wasn’t sure how he would take to it but he did fabulously!  The first couple of bites came straight back out but as soon as he got the hang of it he was putting it down the hatch rather quickly, all the while giggling and laughing.  I may have to take this back later but I think that he has inherited our taste buds and isn’t going to be that picky of an eater.  I know for sure that he has already inherited his Daddy’s appetite…

            some pre-supper entertainment while Mommy got the camera ready

            hey, what's that?

            first bite

            not so sure about it yet

            more please!

            got the hang of this stuff and lovin' it now!!

            Dolce is never far from the action...

            a very full and happy boy!
