Boys are so different ...

Annie got a few dolls for Christmas and Mac loves to load them in his bus/dump truck/etc and take them around the house ... occassionally he will even come tell me he but the baby in bed for a nap ... this was one of those naps ....

Christmas Highlights

The devouring of the Happy Birthday Jesus Cake on Christmas Eve ... Daniel and Annie just chillin like the good babies they are ...

Our lil fam(I can't believe there will be another one in the picture next year) ...

And the making of the Happy Birthday Jesus Cake(I know this post is kinda backwards .. )

O Litttle Star of Bethlehem

Mac was in his first Christmas program and did surprisingly well!! He goes to playschool at the Episcopal Church two mornings a week and loves it(mom loves the break) and his class all dressed up as stars in the nativity production. They sand a little song -- Mac did not open his mouth BUT he stood up there so handsomely:) The pictures are terrible .. they were the best we could do from our vantage point .. the chapel was packed with proud parents, grandparents,etc and it was hard to snag a good spot to watch ... but here are the bad pics just because we are so proud of our lil man ...

Here kitty kitty

We live near Brenau University and actually straight across the street from a large vacant lot that is owned by them. It comes in handy for throwing the ball with Addy, running around with the kiddos and .... the nightly neighborhood cat feeding. Seriously though we have a lady that feeds stray cats there EVERY night and around 4:45 they start emerging from the woods and walking down our street to the empty lot awaiting her arrival. I have told people this story may times and they kinda blow it off and give me funny looks ... here is the proof:) (and these are just a few of the 15+ that gather)

I just love her ...

Annie is now 9 months old and sooo much fun! She is my budding little walker and will stand straight up(holding on to nothing) and take one or two steps then down to crawl again .. I think in January she will probably just take off... which I can't decide if will be better when the next baby comes or more challenging .... She also prefers to sit like an Asian as referenced in the above photo whenever she is playing! I tell Leigh is is just preparing for her new cousin David's arrival from South Korea:) Even though I want another boy if I end up with another girl like Annie I will not complain ...

These kids are too cute!

Mac's birthday train set ... that Annie likes to wreck on a daily basis ... Bathtime with cousin Daniel :)

Rainy day and couldn't play outside:(

Loaded the wrong pic .. did have one with them smiling ... they crack me up!

I can't tell you how much fun we have had lately!! Mac and Annie have had a blast between Mac's birthday, fall festivities, being spoiled by grandparents/aunts uncles, and hanging with friends and cousins ... Here are some pics to document our fun fall :)

Fun Times ...

Isn't she the cutest horse you have ever seen?? I am just in love with her ...

We have been having so much fun .. life has gotten easier with these two. They are both at really fun ages and we are enjoying all this fall has had to offer so far. Mac was totally infatuated with pumpkins(of course he chose 2 blue one and one with warts for us), trick-or-treating was a blast, and Annie has just been cruising around and I swear she will walk by the end of the year. I can't believe Mac turns 2 tomorrow and Annie's 1st Thanksgiving and Christmas are around the corner! Then of course we will be adding number 3 ... and things might not be quite as simple .. yikes.
