Thanksgiving 2010

We went to Florence for Thanksgiving this (past) year. Here are a few photos. The boys adorable outfits were made by Grandma.

Where we left off...

...Our birthdays? Eric and I had a nice night away in Asheville to celebrate our birthdays. As fate would have it, I was awake at 5:30 trying to figure out why no one was crying to nurse, and if I was late for work. But then we had an amazing day and lunch at the Grove Park spa. Heaven!

I can't really think of anything in November except Thanksgiving. I know we were super busy, but right this second I just can't remember with what.

I've been so busy planning Disney (March), Drake's birthday (Jan), and Christmas (you know when that is). So busy that I haven't made time for blogging. It's just so much darn easier post photos and updates on facebook, that I'm a big slacker here!

Yep, we are alive!

Just so you all can rest easy, we all are fine and dandy! Sometimes I just get too busy living life to blog about it. But maybe, just maybe, I'll finish my decorating soon and post some Christmas pictures soon. I've got the playroom decorating finished, and the den/mantle. If it ever quits raining, we'll go get our tree and do the living room:-)

The kids are great. Drake is talking up a storm, and Eli is army crawling all over the house.

Birthday Time!!!

I turn 32 on Saturday, and Eric turns 34 next Wednesday! Yay for birthday time!!! I'm off tomorrow, and spending the day with my boys. We are doing some shopping and hanging out, and I can't wait. On Saturday, we are going to a farm outside Charlotte for a hay ride, pumpkin picking, and an all around good time. I'm super excited for that. We are going with our life group from church. We got plugged in with a life group about one month ago. So far there are four couples, all with young kids. We've really enjoyed it so far.

Sunday is actually a celebration of my friend Jill's 30th birthday, which means brunch and the spa with my besties.

We don't have any plans yet for Eric's actual birthday, but I hope to make his favorite ribs in the crock pot.

Next Saturday, we are going to Asheville (ALONE) to celebrate our big days! My Mom is coming to Charlotte to watch the boys for the night while we get a night away. And on Sunday, we'll spend the day at the Grove Park Inn Spa. I'm beyond happy. I can't wait to sleep. And have an amazing massage with my hubby.

So, that's what's going on with us. Busy busy!

A little more of our California trip

SF city hall. I knew it looked familiar.....where some of this first same sex weddings took place!

Eric and I at the rehearsal party Thursday night.
The Golden Gate Bridge from the northern side.
Eric and Tony walking with Eli and Syler. Too cute!

We checked out Ghiradelli square for yummy chocolates
Our little family, minus one, down at Fisherman's wharf in the city.
Chinatown, in case you didn't guess.
Look really hard. See it? It's Alcatraz!
Hilly streets, trolley tracks, and the bay in the distance. Beautiful city.

More to come later...

Time for a makeover!

Since fall is FINALLY here, I thought a little fall themed blog makeover was in order. Ya likes?

I've been asked where I get the cute little picture graphics at the top of my blog. I assure you, it's not my creative genius. I go to the website www.justmommies.com. Become a member of the message boards, find some topic you enjoy, and start posting. Once you are involved on the message boards, go to the siggies board. Read the rules there, and request a siggie with some pictures you post. And viola....now you have what's at the top of my blog.

We are back from an absolutely amazing wedding in Sonoma, and I hope to get some pictures up soon.
