Look, I'm Shaving Already!

 

Aunt Chrissy got Michael a Cars shaving set. To say he loves it would be an understatement. He want to be just like Daddy. 

Christmas with Aunt Chrissy

 

Aunt Chrissy was going up to MD to spend Christmas with Momma and Seedo so we did an early Christmas. Michael had so much fun opening his presents with her. 

My New Robe

 

Momma and Seedo got this robe for Michael for an early Christmas present. At first he didn't like it but now it's his new favorite piece of clothing. 

Go Eagles!

 

Here are Michael and Aunt Nicole taking in the Eagles game. 

Philly GTG

 

Bryn and Florella were nice enough to have us, the Castros, and the Katzs over for brunch so we could all catch up while we were in Philly. The kids had a blast playing together and opening some presents. Here are Michael and Aidan. 

Storybook Land

 

Gram and Pop Pop took us all to Storybook Land to see the Christmas lights. Michael had a blast. Here is he is riding the cars with Aunt Nicole. 

Preschool Christmas Program

Michael and Joey (his classmate and neighbor) at their Christmas Program. Michael was such a ham onstage and clapped loudest of all for himself. There is adorable video and if I can ever get the computer to cooperate, I will post it.

Pictures With Santa

We had pictures with Santa in the subdivision today. Here are Michael and I before. He didn't do so good with Santa, see the next pic.

Not too happy

Santa?

We went to Christmas at Central Park today. They had a craft fair and train and even Santa. Michael was a little apprehensive about the whole Santa thing. Though he did stop crying long enough to tell him that he wanted Thomas the Tank Engine for Christmas.

Best Buds

Today Gabe came over to play. This is a rare moment of quiet during the storm.

My Handsome Boy

Gram and Pop Pop bought Michael this outfit when they were visiting. It makes him look so grown up. :sigh:

It's a...

BOY!!!

Halloween Party!

Michael school Halloween Party was today. They had a little carnival and pizza and cupcakes. Here he is chowing down. He actually ate TWO ENTIRE pieces of pizza!

Saying "Cheese!" for the camera.

Waiting for his turn to throw the banana.

Michael chatting with his friends about the Halloween tattos they got. (Michael wouldn't get one so his is in his goody bag)

Michael's New Room

Here are a couple pics of Michael's new room. As you can tell, Michael is very thrilled to be able to turn that lamp on and off by himself.

The bed!

Coolness!

Michael asked Glenn what the logo was on his shirt and Glenn told him it meant "coolness" and Michael keeps saying it over and over. Long enough for me to get some video.

Burts

Today we went to Burt's Pumpkin Farm to get some pumkins or "dunkins" as Michael calls them. He had a BLAST!

Aunt Chrissy was trying to take a picture of Michael when he tackled her.

Michael with the little gourd he picked out. He had another one too and kept using them as drumsticks.

Uncle Shucks

Today we went to Uncle Shuck's corn maze and pumpkin patch. We were joined by the Carnahans, Stevens, and Druekes. The kids had SOOO much fun.

Michael trying to escape with a pumpkin.

Michael and Cameron hugging in the middle of the corn maze. I just love this one.

Michael, Gabe and Kaylee

Video!

Helping Out

This is Michael's version of helping Daddy hang trim. Mostly it involved running around the futon in circles for about an hour. Oh, and he held the level up too.

Sick much?

Think Michael has been sick much lately? I found him on the steps this morning "checking his ear".

Pee Pee on the Potty

Today Michael insisted that he didn't want to wear a diaper after dinner. I agreed as long as he would sit on the potty. On our third try, he went pee pee. For his efforts, he got some M&M's and the a new Thomas train. He picked James.

Off Roadin'

Riding the ATV that Gram and Pop Pop gave to him for his birthday FINALLY!

Helen, GA

Today we went to Helen which is a town up in the GA mountains that has turned itself into a remake of a German alpine village. While we were there, we went to Charlemagne's Kingdom which is a giant model railroad of all of Germany. To say Michael loved it would be an understatement.

Michael's First Day of School

Strutting with his new school gear. 

Showing off with Mommy 

Going with one of the teachers at drop off. When I picked him up they said he didn't cry at all. I even got the first picture he drew to hang on my fridge. 

Zoo Atlanta

Today we went to Zoo Atlanta with Joey and Sandra. The boys had a blast!!!
