Pictures from October

Back on October 31st, Cal, Eddie and I went to a park in Raleigh for a photoshoot with a studio that was offering a "mini-session."  I posted a link with our pictures from the session a while back, and we just received the ones we picked in the mail, so I wanted to share with you!  The studio is Evolve Studio and I think she did a great job capturing my wild child!

IT'S A.....

IT'S A BOY!!!

(love this one-- saying a prayer that his big brother takes care of him!)

TODAY IS THE DAY!!!

we had to rearrange our appointment with prenatal peek (Eddie HAD to play golf....hehe, I am NOT complaining!), so we are finding out today at noon!!! Check back around 1:00 and I am sure I will have something up :)

A Snowy Little Day

This past weekend, North Carolina had its first snowfall! This is early for us down here, and I must say-- it was beautiful!  It was a wet snow so I didn't take Cal out to play it in (plus it was SO cold out!) but I did get a picture of the house in the snow...

 Look closely at the doorway...see anyone?

How about now??

SAY CHEESE (part two)

A few months back, I wrote a post about Cal's cheesy smile, well, he's back at it again.  He stopped doing this for a while, but now every time the camera comes out, he smiles like this:

Some smile are cute and somewhat normal, but others are just hilarious to me-- what a ham!

In case you are bored...

Here is a link to a video from yesterday.  CRACKS me up-- Cal is playing, cheering, making farting noises with his mouth (remind me later that I found this funny) dancing, and riding his pony/Hank.  The video is about 7 minutes long....so you have to be pretty bored to watch that one....

And here is a link to the photo shoot that we did in late October with Evolve Studio.  I really like the way some of them came out!  This link will only be active for another week, so if you want to see it, don't wait too long :)

HoHoHo!!!

Someone is getting excited for Santa to come!

Prenatal Peek

All I want for Christmas is.....to know what this baby is!!! Eddie's mom asked me what I wanted for Christmas and I thought a session to prenatal peek would be so fun. I just want to know the gender of this little one before Christmas (really for no reason at all, I am just curious!)....oh, and I want to hit up some after Christmas sales for some cute holiday outfits for the little one for next year!

So, we booked an appointment for the 9th of December.  I added a poll to the upper right hand corner of the blog.  What do you think?  Will Cal be getting a little brother?  Or a little sister? 

(and on a side note...I am already 15 weeks pregnant....isn't that hard to believe???  With my first pregnancy, I was blogging about everything pregnancy related and reading every book out there.  I have yet to pick up a book this time around.  Isn't that horrible???  Oh well....I guess everything is still "fresh" in my mind...or at least I am telling myself that!)

Gobble Gobble!

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving this year! My parents bid on a rental house in the mountains of Virginia for the long weekend (Tuesday-Saturday!) and it was the perfect spot for all of us.  My brother, his wife, and their two kids came up, and so did Eddie's sister, Carrie.  There was plenty of space for everyone and everything.  This house was ah-mazing!

My mom went into mega planning mode ahead of time and each night had a theme to it and she gave the kids a different gift each night.  My brother and his family will be in Savannah for Christmas this year, so I know she was trying to make it extra special for everyone.

The first night the theme was "Cars and Trucks and Things That Go."

Here is Cal's toy:

 And here is Jackson opening his:

The second night we were there, the theme was 'The Kids Were Nestled All Snug In Their Beds" and each kid got a sleeping bag with their name on it.  Cal LOVED his!  He immediately sat on it and was kissing it non-stop!

Friday night was puzzle night, but I didn't have my camera out for that one :(

We spent a TON of time out on the huge back deck, despite the freezing temps.  The sunsets were amazing each day!

And then, just some fun pictures from the trip

 Playing outside

 Hi Mom!

 Happy Boy!

 With Aunt CB!

 Just making a phone call!

 Sunset with Daddy

 Picking up rocks

 Hats are needed when it's cold out!

 HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

I hope you each ate way too much, watched some excellent college football, slept a lot, and took some time to reflect upon all of the things for which you are grateful.  I feel so blessed and beyond thankful.
