Seven Weeks and a trip to the doctor

We missed six weeks altogether. Sorry about that. There is never a dull moment. As we get ready for the holidays we took Charlie in for his two month appointment a bit early (two months would be Christmas Day). He has grown like a weed. He is already 14 lb. and 2 oz. He is also over 23 inches long. All of this means he is over the 90th percentile in all categories and wearing 6 month clothing. Like I said growing like a weed. Izzy is also growing and she is a great big sister. She loves to help and kiss her brother. Happy Holidays to all![gallery link="file" order="DESC" columns="2"]

A new car, Santa and Five Weeks

We have had a busy week around here. Charlie was less than thrilled with my taking his picture, but he put up with it. We got a new car on Tuesday. We needed to have enough room to have all five of us (the dog too) in the car along with belongings. We are thrilled with it and still figuring out all that it can do. We also had a special treat today. We went to see Santa at a yummy brunch. For those of you who don't know, Izzy has had her Santa issues. She screamed last year and was showing signs of it this year, but she rallied and decided that he was pretty great after he presented her with a candy cane. "I love Santa!" was heard from the backseat on the way home :)!

Bedtime Stories

Thank you, Four Weeks, Thanksgiving and One Month!

We really loved having Grandma and Granddad here helping out for two weeks. When they went home for Thanksgiving in Atlanta we had our first two days with Scott at work while I was home with both kids...You will note there are no pictures from those days. Who has time? :) Then Granny and Happy came for Thanksgiving. We enjoyed a quiet Turkey Day with lots of good food and football. We are appreciative of all of the help! Charlie also hit the one month mark and so had his first penguin picture taken.

Happy comes and 3 Weeks along with a pirate

Charlie met his fourth grandparent this weekend and we are finally getting the pictures posted. Life is certainly busy with two and I am not sure how it all gets done with two once the grandparents leave. We have also included a few other fun pictures from the week including our matching children this morning.
