Autumn Acres

Today we enjoyed the gorgeous weather at Autumn Acres Corn Maze. The boys enjoyed the petting zoo, corn box, pumpkin patch, and hayride! Of course they pointed out every pumpkin!! whew! The word of the day at the corn maze was "boots." Yes, that is right. The boys have their first pair of boots and had the opportunity to wear them today! It is a very busy week with costumes, parties and pumpkins, so stay tuned for more pictures!!

Pumpkin Party

Aunt Justina and Uncle Clay invited us to carve pumpkins at the farm! So we all went down to Grandma and Grandpa Holmes' house to carve our first pumpkins! It was fun, but Daddy had to be quick to carve because our attention span was short! It was bunches of fun, and we enjoyed carrying the small pumpkins around Grandma's house. We do recognize the word "pumpkin" and we are very quick to point out the pumpkins on our front porch at home. Fall is fabulous! We think it is our Mommy's favorite season!

Nashville

Anthony and I spent the afternoon in Nashville with the boys on Friday. We were there for a follow-up doctor appointment at Vandy for Joseph. Things look great, we are just waiting on lab results for the final OK. We saw Dr. Vanderpool, who was the boys NICU resident, and Johnathan's family practice doctor while we stayed in Nashville after their birth! It was so good to see him, and I am thankful he is now a fellow in the GI department at Vandy! It is reassuring to trust and know the doctor's who care for our children! However the highlight of the boys day was seeing "Aunt" Kim!!! We stopped at the Opry Mills mall to shop while in Nashville, and "Aunt" Kim met us there. The boys had their first lunch at Rainforest Cafe!! It was fascinating to the boys! I am sure we will be back there to eat again!





Oh, thanks Aunt Jaime for the sweaters from Sam and Whit! They are adorable!

Johnathan...zzzzz.

When I came home from work, Johnathan was still taking his nap! Lacey put him down on his mat when he fell asleep, and he stayed there! It was so cute! I think it makes him look like such a big boy! Sweet dreams Johnathan.....

Brody's Birthday Party!

Johnathan and Joseph's good friend Brody turned two!!! Happy Birthday Brody! The boys were excited to receive the invitation to Brody's Backyard Bug Bash! Creep on by, buzz in, and fly over is what it said! Whew-- this excited the boys! It was such a good time. Brody's parents, are amazing friends, and did a fabulous job entertaining the little ones! The boys donned "bug ears" as they arrived, made hand print catapillars, drank bug juice, and went on a bug hunt!! The boys loved the bug hunt, to our surprise it kept their interest and they understood the concept of gathering the brightly colored bugs and putting them in their bug bag! It was a great day, and the kids all had so much fun. A big thank-you to Joe and Dana for organizing such a wonderful party for the family to enjoy!! Happy 2nd Birthday Brody! We love you!

At Sam's Club, for more diapers of course!!



Before we had lunch, the boys spotted a waterfall! If they were only this interested in their chicken and veggies!
