Doughnut Day

Last week we enjoyed a fun playdate at none other than the fab-u-lo-so Krispy Kreme.  The kids were pumped to say the least.

 Getting down to business.

 "Fimished!"

 In action after all the sugar.

 

I'm sure all the other KK customers loved our company.

Seriously, this is how half my photos end up - a big blur of Charles and Frances.  They are always on the go.  Still pretty cute though.

A Party and Playdate

To see a glimpse into our munchkin-filled days, check out these blogs that are friends of mine...we went to Finley's 3rd birthday party last week - it was so fun to see all the princess decorations - Frances is major into princesses right now especially Tiana and Belle (even though she has never seen either movie, but gotta love that princess marketing)!  The other is from a playdate with Finley and her little brother Jameson, just on a random Wednesday.  Sweet little Mills has become one of our new friends too - he is so cute and cute squeezable.  I'll be more productive and post some of my own pics soon, but until then, enjoy these!

Thanksgiving 2010

Alas, I have decided to finally post some of my favorite pictures from Thanksgiving.  I was going to wait until I found a way to upload pictures faster, but I can't quite figure it out.  We went to Augusta to visit Jacob's parents for Turkey Day.  The entire family was there - I think the count is up to 24 now!  It was a quick trip, but we got in some great visiting time. 

On Thursday before lunch, we got the kiddos outside to burn some energy...

We let the dads take control outside while the girls commanded the inside...

Here is one of the newest additions - isn't she adorable?

And here is another cute niece - only a few months apart from Frances.  I wish I could have gotten all of the nieces and nephews, but they were on the go!

 Playing a little game of eat the baby inside...

 Getting ready for lunch...placing people can be quite a task...

Giving thanks...

After lunch and naps (what is Thanksgiving without a nap), we decided to take a long walk down to the river and roast some marshmallows...

 And feed the fish...

And take some family photos...

The weekend had to come to an end.  We decided to head to a tree farm to pick out a Christmas tree...

 

 

 That's all folks!

For the weekend

 Just a typical day in the life of Charles and Frances

I'm a big girl now

Since we don't have any snow pictures to share, I thought I would fill you in on our latest accomplishment - Frances is potty trained!  I am so proud of her - once I really started the strict only underwear and every-hour routine, she got it down within a few days.  My goal was to have her out of diapers before 2 1/2, which is the end of this month.  We skipped the whole baby potty thing this time.  Below is a picture to celebrate the occasion - I'm sure she will thank me for this lovely snapshot later.  Rehearsal dinner material perhaps?

What a week!

Just a glimpse into my hubby's week.  It started off with a bang with new cath rotation on Monday, celebrated his birthday on Tuesday, on-call Wednesday night, moonlighting Thursday night and finally ending this evening.  I think the kicker was Thursday night.  Thank you Jacob for working so hard for our family.  I would say he's ready for the weekend - we are too!

Tuesday night
