Some Love for My Fans

In Case You Were Wondering ...

Yes, Charlotte is definitely my child.

Pumpkin Patch

Once again, we headed to a local pumpkin patch/church to purchase a pumpkin for the big day. Unlike previous years, we actually got a cute family picture there this time.

Our two cute little pumpkins!

Me: "Charlotte, hold Baby Grey."

Charlotte: "Nooooo!"

That is why Grey is flying solo in the pumpkins here.

Which one did we bring home? Why, that would be "Big, Big Pumpkin," as Charlotte calls him. She likes to give him hugs and kisses and point out where his eyes, ears, and chin go. (Too much time spent playing with Mrs. Potato Head?)

Duckies

Charlotte wore these cute little duckie jammies when she was a little bit older than Grey. They always seem to put my kids in a good mood because I've got a lot of great pictures in them!

Milk tongue

Yawn

Complacent

Excited!

Morning Glory

More good times on the playmat

Post-nursing euphoria

Starting to love the bouncy chair

I love these couple of pictures because you can really see how much Grey loves his Cha-Cha. He will always stop crying when he sees her and loves to watch whatever she is doing.

These sweet morning pictures reminded me of an old one I found in a box at my mom's house a few years ago.

Blue Bell, I Love You

Blue Bell, I love you ...

I can't get enough of you ...

Especially when you are "CHOC-lit". (I don't know who she gets that from!)

Another Difference Between the Sexes

The other evening as I was getting ready for bed, the thought crossed my mind that it would be wonderful if I was one of those people who didn't need very much sleep because I could accomplish so much more. Or better yet, what if I didn't need to sleep at all? I thought about what I would do in the next seven or so hours before my kids got up: go run some loads of laundry and fold clothes, go to the grocery store, pick up the family room and the play room, wipe down the counters and appliances in the kitchen, get some ironing done, get a jump start on dinner for the next evening, vacuum, organize my linen closets ... The list went on and on. Then I turned and looked at Adam and said, "What would you do if you didn't have to sleep for the next seven hours?" He thought for a minute and then said, "Read."

Yeah, that's just what I was thinking.
