Getting ready for the holidays ...

We have officially been residing at my parent's house for a month and a half and it looks as if we will be here through the holidays as well. Things are coming along on the new house and floors are being refinished this week:) Mac is enjoying his time at Dot-Dot's house and is walking like a crazy man. He gets constant attention around here because there is always someone around to fulfill his every whim. Notice his dislike for the robot reindeer pajamas ...

We survived a YEAR!

Mac turned one on Monday and instead of celebrating that I survived the first year of motherhood we gave Mac presents and ate cake.... ha... kidding but really not. It was a small event just family,bbq and cupcakes. Mac had a blast! I am missing the classic birthday cake in the face picture but it was so hectic we only got that on video ...

Shopping cart covers

As I walked through Target today to grab a few things I noticed something. Everywhere I turned there was a mom strolling their baby in a shopping cart with one of those germ free covers. This is not a bad thing, however let me paint a picture for you. Mac has on a maroon sweatshirt, brown pants, and one red sock. He is also currently eating bits of my blueberry muffin from Starbucks which he has managed to crumble all over himself and even smush into his hair ... all this in a shopping cart with no cover.

It's official!

Today I am 21 weeks and some change. We found out the gender of the next "Greene to be". Now don't get me wrong, I am excited about what I am having, but I hoped for weeks this next babe would be a little brother for Mac to wrestle with, play army with and just entertain each other in general, however, God has different plans .... Sometime the month of March we will be adding a little Greene gal for Mac to wrestle with, play army with and entertain each other in general:) Out with the blue boy stuff and in with the pink ... or maybe salmon orange colors(pink in great mass I am not a fan of)! However, this little girl will have many nice young fellows around. There has been a boom of babies at our church and I have seen some handsome ones ... :)

Hanging around at Dot-Dot's House

So, since we are living at my mom's for a while while renovating the new house Mac has spent a lot of time outside pushing the walker up and down the driveway and checking out Dot-Dot's beautiful landscaping compliments of my sister's landscape design talents. Notice we are getting some extra use out of the Halloween outfit!ha!

Trick or Treat!

Yes, Mac was a fireman and a VERY cute fireman at that! We went trick or treating with the cousins and some more friends and had a fabulous time. I forced Zach to walk him around in the hiking pack and carry a bucket(very obvious the candy collection was not for the one year old), but Zach was a good sport. We are looking forward to more holiday festivities to come ...
