Hello World!

My goal for Thanksgiving was to update...FAIL. After a few requests though I thought maybe I could squeeze in a blog. Matt was worried his aunt checks the blog every day and is probably tired of being disappointed. She isn't on Facebook.... so for those of you who don't see my parents million posts of the boys- here we go!

You all missed a whole season of Fall baseball for Christopher and the start of preschool. Matt and I coached Christopher and we ended up being third out of 12 teams. Christopher was the youngest on the team- this was the season that you move up to next league, so he played with a bunch of 4, 5, and 6 year olds. I think he held his own pretty well. He also recently discovered his love of playing hockey and also wants to be a professional golfer (You may have missed golf camp from the summer too! Sorry!) To say he got the natural athletic ability gene is an understatement.

He LOVES preschool. His teachers had the nicest things to say about him on his progress report.... "shows respect... tackles classwork in an organized manner.... conscientious hard working student who works independently..." You know as a teacher how those comments rank! :)

Caleb is the sweetest thing ever. He walks/runs all over the place. He lays his down on your leg to love on you when he walks by and cuddles at night. He does suck his thumb when he gets little "Dine" (green dinosaur) at night, but it is somehow super cute. Thankfully he only sucks when going sleep. If he was allowed to have Dine around all day, he would probably suck all day. Caleb is a little sicklier than Christopher was.... having his share of ear infections. He had one that just wouldn't go away. He also caught hand, foot and mouth at the beginning of fall break and shared it with the rest of us. Caleb is starting to retaliate on Christopher which is kinda fun to watch. He isn't afraid to let Christopher know he is mad at him. :)

And on to the pics!
Hanging at Nana's pool. He is a swimmer!

Watching hockey!

Fall baseball team- the Thunder!

Spoiled boy went to Notre Dame with Nana and Granddaddy

Christopher loves him some Mellow Mushroom.

He went to church of course!

Did you know we got a dog? 

Christopher loves to help cook. 

Fireman-cowboys. Christopher loves to make them match in their jammies.

Heading to the driving range. 

Christopher dressed up as St. Christopher for All Saints Day.


Ready for a nap.

Caleb didn't feel good this day- obviously.

Matt says for Christmas Caleb is just getting gift cards to restaurants. 
He loves to eat. 

More eating. He is so tiny though!

Pilgrim Trot. Christopher ran the 2K with Matt first and then did this! 


Making his Notre Dame Christmas list.

Christopher was asked to do winter workouts with the 6U all star team. 

I was so proud of him!! Plus I think he is going to learn lots! 

Made it in Around Acworth with Nana....

And again for being at the Veterans Day celebration.

Caleb calls balls "go" because he thinks every ball is a golf ball. 

Christopher did awesome. Those lessons are paying off! 

He has a love again for Toy Story.

Singing at the tree lighting in Kennesaw. 

This was supposed to be a "everyone is in Notre Dame gear" picture....

At Try Hockey for Free- he loved it! 

All geared up. He was so cute out there. He ice skated once when he was 2... in an hour he learned how to stand up when he fell and could make forward movement. He also learned how to shoot with his stick! Of course now he wants to play. 

Family hike over Thanksgiving Break. 

Making stuffing! 

I guess we do go a lot! Matt works from home now, so he took his lunch break and met us there! 
So fun! 

Caleb woke up and Christopher yelled - I'll get him! 

Legoland with Luuuuuuuuuuke! I think they enjoyed running around the backyard when we got home more! I love watching them play together.

All ready for church.

After the race! 

Okay and that is it! I hope you enjoyed it! Hopefully it won't be so long in between posts!! 
and remember... Be kind. 
Merry Christmas!!!
