Halloween preview

We were invited to a Halloween party for our playgroup today, so it was a good opportunity to break out the costumes.

Representing both sides of the family....we have the Georgia Tech yellow jacket...


And the Richmond Spider!

Fall catch up

I know we're busy when two weeks go by and I forget about the blog. Here's a quick summary of the latest.

I pulled Miller out of preschool. I really thought she would love it, but she seemed so sad at drop off and at pick-up. It's my last year with a baby, so I'm keeping her home.

I was playing with Miller on the floor the other day and she signed "more". (which I've showed her in the context of food) I was so proud!

Colby is loving preschool and doing very well. His teacher, who I really like, has recognized that he's a "challenge", but said she adores him. BUT, she needs some help and strategies for how to deal with him. The good news is that he's not even in her top 5 list of challenging kids over the past 10 years. Yay!

Lee and I bought a lot in a new neighborhood. 2 hours away. I guess he's going to start looking for a job there. That's not the way it's supposed to work, and it's the last thing we ever thought would happen. But, we toured the area with a realtor, and when we saw the lot and neighborhood, we both loved it. We have always known we'd be moving in the next year or two, we just didn't know where.

I need an intervention. A baby girl clothes intervention. After 3 years of buying jeans, corduroys, and t-shirts, I am overwhelmed with all the choices I have for Miller. (Well, limited choices because she's a bit too...how shall I say this...bootylicious for pants and jeans) So, we have to make do with leggings, tights, and dresses. Here are a few samples from her fall wardrobe.

Colby's favorite thing

Colby has learned how to use his CD player, and his new favorite thing is to blast music and dance in his room. Miller is a fan as well. This is what you'll see on a typical afternoon...
