Fall Catch Up before baby boy #3 gets here!

Warning! Picture overload! I am trying to catch up on fall pics before the baby arrives. I never really felt like I captured summer '10 on the blog so I didn't want fall to pass by as well.

First of all, I am not sure where this big boy came from! I think he looks like he about 9 in this picture!

Jacob is loving kindergarten and we can't get over everything he is learning every day. His teacher has said over and over than kindergarten is what 1st and 2nd grade used to be and that is so true! He is very excited about baby boy #3 even though he started out wanting a girl:)

Pumpkin carving time

To my surprise both boys have loved roasted pumpkin seeds this year!

Waiting on our next little pumpkin

Getting ready to hit the new neighborhood. We have really enjoyed getting to meet some of our new neighbors and everyone has been so friendly!

Jacob and Logan got a kick out of ringing our doorbell and Daddy answering

We also had a great time the weekend before at our church's fall festival. Once again a very cute Bob the Builder and scary Incredible Hulk

Logan gives one of the games a try with the help of one of his special friends Ms Teri

The weather was so great (& warm) that Jacob's costume did not last long because he was hot!

Logan wanted to make sure he was able to hang with the big boys!

Jacob's class took a fun field trip to a farm nearby. We all had a great time (even the adults!)

No, although it looks like Jacob is kicking the little girl on the ground, he is not!

Getting a little advice during half time from Coach (Daddy)

We have had a fun filled fall. These boys are growing like weeds and keeping us busy!

They are both at very fun ages (active!)

We are very excited about the arrival of baby boy #3 who does not have a name yet! Ok, so there are a FEW things we still have to do:)

We are thankful that so far this baby looks very healthy and should make his grand entrance anytime in the next 2 weeks. Can you imagine how long it will take me to post Christmas pictures this year!?!

What Momma thought this was a good idea?

What you get when you let the kids have chocolate covered Halloween cinnamon twists for breakfast! At least there is a cute smile and pretty blue eyes under all that chocolate!

Why I haven't blogged........

No blogging because we have been having picnics on bare dining room floors!

This was our first official meal in our new house!

And although it hasn't all been a "picnic" we are moving this week.

When we moved 2 1/2 years ago the plan was to sell our New Orleans home and rent our house here for a short time. Well, that was right about when the market fell and long story short we still own our little vacation home in NOLA. But God has been good and we have had a great rental situation here and now have a good renter in our NOLA home. We knew we needed to make roots here and decide where Jacob would start school. We have been looking for a while and finally closed on our house a few weeks ago. We will finally move this week (and maybe we will all live to tell about it!)

More pics to come and maybe a summer catch up finally!

Logan's 1st day of preschool

Last week it was Logan's turn for his first day of school. He started preschool at our church Lawrenceville First Baptist. We have loved the program there and Jacob had such a great experience.

He really didn't understand what was happening but was excited about his backpack and lunchbox!

He refused any help putting his backpack in the car.

Logan and Ms Corrine

Not the best picture but had to document Logan and Momma on the his first day

Logan had a great day but was excited to see Momma and Daddy at pick up time

1st day of kindergarten

It is hard to believe but Jacob started kindergarten on Monday. Last week we went to open house. We were excited when we saw his room and how welcoming his teacher seemed. Everyone we talk to has gushed over how much they love Mrs Heslep. She seems to love working with kindergarten children.

Afterwards we went and picked out his new shoes, got smoothies & he loved sporting his new Craig Colt spirit gear.

On Monday morning Jacob seemed very nervous and you can see the pretty strained smile in some of the pictures.

Who do you think is going to miss his big brother?

His teacher did a great job of welcoming each child at the door and putting them right to work.

He is still a little bundle of nerves but seems to enjoy his day. Looking forward to a great year!

Logan's b-day recap

I am finally posting Logan's 2nd birthday!

I always do something for the "real" birthday if we aren't having a party that day so we had cupcakes. We were so thankful he was feeling better. He had a fever and had to miss the last couple of days of VBS so we were so glad he woke up June 11th fever free & the little busy body that he is:)

Some may look at the picture below and think Logan has a mad face at his brother blowing out his candle. No, he is studying Jacob. He couldn't quite get it blown out so he is watching Jacob's every move. He wants to do everything he does!

We had a farm animal theme with animal cupcakes and a farm cake the next day.

Logan loved the attention but played a little shy.

He gets another try at getting these candles blown out.

Brother loved the cupcakes too!

Logan was not that into opening presents but this was the one time he sat down. He got a new chair similar to his big brother's. He is constantly trying to sit in his brother's chair!

And he loved getting his own umbrella, yes....like his brother's.

We are thankful for this guy & a great 2 years!
