TOO much...

going on at the end of the week to post, plus I figured you were on the plane. Here are the pictures I "tried" to take at The Vines. (you can copy and paste any of these pictures from this blog to your files)

Thank you so much for giving me the chance to bond with Hudson and trusting us enough to care for your precious little boy. You better keep talking about all of us, I want him still saying all our names at Christmas.

Thanksgiving Day

Part Two: We had a great Thanksgiving dinner with Erin, Ms. Robyn and all their family. Grace and I both didn't eat much because we were so interested in everything else going on. I first was overwhelmed with all the new people and would only let my Aunt Amy hold me, but once I got use to things I played with all the new toys. When dessert was served I went to the kitchen table and helped myself to a chocolate chip cookie. I didn't ask, I just took, it was great! We ended up leaving right after dessert because I had a blow out diaper. That's what happens when you haven't pooped in two days. Aunt Amy tried to take pictures of Grace and I together but I didn't cooperate. Love ya

Aunt Amy didn't bring me a change of clothes. Do you like me in purple?

Part One: Well...I don't really know what is going on...we were at the lake enjoying each others company and now I am back at Aunt Amy's house. It all happened so fast. I woke up and within a few minutes I was in the car. Aunt Amy says that Maw Maw and Paw Paw are sick and there was NO thoughts of food for Thanksgiving, if you know what I mean. But she says that the four of us are going to enjoy a nice dinner at Ms. Robyn's house and I get to play with Erin again.


It sure is fun to be back in the "play" house. Me and Grace have on cute little fall outfits on. Aunt Amy will take some pictures when we get up from naps. Below are pictures from yesterday. Love ya - Happy Thanksgiving!

Uncle Chad brought us home a surprise tonight. Candy Apples!!! YUM.

Wednesday

Part One:
I woke up after about a twelve hour night STARVING. Maw Maw was so afraid I was going to get sick again that she didn't feed me much yesterday. I definitely have a cold but compared to Paw Paw's it looks like nothing! I am excited because Grace is coming in a few hours and I am ready to play! I am sure Aunt Amy will take some pictures of me today to post. Hugs and Kisses!
Part Two:
I'm having a great day! Gracie and Aunt Amy are here and we are playing hard. I did have to come to the realization again that all these toys and Maw Maw are not just mine. I have to share. I have to share. I have to share.
I was so hungry and luckily Aunt Amy convinced Maw Maw to feed me real food. I had Mac-n-cheese for lunch with ham and a few chips. It was SO good! I took a really long afternoon nap along with Gracie. Maw Maw and Aunt Amy were having fun while I slept, I could hear them. They went to the grocery store and bought more food. And then Aunt Amy took the two pups to the dog park. Why would they just assume we didn't want to go. It not like we are any trouble in the store or on walks. Hopefully they will take us on a golf cart ride tonight if it doesn't rain. It's been very warm here the last few days but tonight rain is suppose to come and with it cold weather. Aren't you proud of me? I have been listening to the news. OH...Aunt Amy promises more pictures to come.

Tuesday

Part One :I woke up not feeling well. I definitely got Grace's cold but I have also been throwing up. I don't know if I am throwing up because of all the snot or because I have a stomach virus. Maw Maw is taking good care of me.
We left for the lake this morning and I throw up in the car. Maw Maw sure is going to have a fun time cleaning up the car seat. Aunt Amy and Gracie are coming tomorrow. I sure hope I don't get Grace sick but holidays are holidays and you are suppose to be together for them.

Part Two: (7pm) I feel a lot better now. I haven't been sick since the car trip this morning. I have been playing hard and eating a little (Aunt Amy suggested the BRAT diet just to make sure it wasn't a stomach virus). Maw Maw tried to give me Pedialyte, Ugh...that stuff is no good. Hopefully I'll have a normal day tomorrow. Love ya!

Monday

Part One:

Maw Maw came and picked me up today from Aunt Amy's house. I was very excited to see her but I sure was having fun. This morning I had already watched TV in bed, ate breakfast, had a poop diaper, climbed on furniture, took pictures with Grace, played with crayons, played with toys and new friends and saw cows. ALL before 10AM! There was just so much to do in that house. I am not sure what the day will withhold with Maw Maw. I know I get to see my Summer and she said that we are going to the lake tomorrow morning. Love ya!

I am climber!

Coloring
Mom - you should of warned her that I eat crayons!

They have COWS in there backyard!

I know that Grace likes to take care of me, but this is ridiculous!

Does she really need to check to see if I have poops?

Sunday

Part One:
I slept all through the night again! Yeah me! I'll make sure I save all the rough nights for at home. Your welcome mom. Uncle Chad got me up this morning and put me in bed with him and Grace. We all drank milk and watched TV. These people have TVs everywhere with all sorts of neat shows on. I really liked watching The Wiggles on there, they sing a lot of fun songs. They even have a TV in the car. Uncle Chad let us watch it last night on the way home, now ever time I get in the car I point and whine for the TV to be on. Uncle Chad thinks I am cute and usually lets me watch it. Aunt Amy doesn't get it b/c usually they aren't allowed to watch anything unless they are in the car for more then an hour. This morning Uncle Chad had another soccer game we went to. I really like flirting with all the sweet moms at the fields. They like to hold me and give me fun little snacks. Uncle Chad had an adult game to play this afternoon but me and the girls stayed home to take naps. I took almost a three hour nap. I should warn you...Grace still has a little bit of her cold that she got two weeks ago...I'll probably be getting it in a day or two. We keep sharing the same cups and food. Aren't you proud of me? I'm sharing!

I love this carseat! I fell asleep this morning on the way home from soccer at 11am. It was a short nap.
Part Two:

Aunt Amy and Uncle Chad decided to go to a community Thanksgiving service tonight. So Aunt Amy dressed us similar and packed out matching diapers bags. This lady is just as bad as Maw Maw dressing us the same. Three times now I have tricked Aunt Amy. I go poo poo and she changes me. Only I don't finish. And then right before we walk out the door I go again. It is so funny. So as Uncle Chad puts Grace in the car, Aunt Amy has to take me back in to change my diaper. She keeps saying, "Why do you do this to me?". But she is laughing at the same time. Grace and I were both in a new nursery at the service. We both cried at first but Aunt Amy sent her friend Jennifer to check on us a few minutes later and told her we both were fine. Everybody asked if we were twins. Are they crazy?! Grace is like two inches taller and we look nothing alike. When Aunt Amy came to pick us back up I didn't want to leave...it was so much fun in there!!! When we got home I became wild! I don't know what happened to me I just was going crazy, running around, tackling Grace, Copa, and Uncle Chad. Did I tell you how much I like uncle Chad, he's cool! Aunt Amy got on to me for the first time tonight. I was playing so hard and kind of lost control. I went to sit on her lap and tried to play with her. I first hit her in the face. She told me no, so I head butted her in the nose. I thought it was funny, I thought we were still playing. She didn't laugh. She told me no again, in a not so nice voice and then told me to go play with Uncle Chad. Sounded like a plan to me. Again I had a great day. They keep me so busy I don't know if I am in Georgia, South Carolina or Italy.

This is my favorite toy...the kitchen. Aunt Amy loved this outfit I had on. She thinks boys are just as fun to dress.

Grace taking care of me as always.

Did you see the boo boo on Grace's head? You would think that I have been walking longer than her. She was bending down at the soccer fields trying to pick up a cup and lost her balance. She was so brave and only cried for a second.

Wrestling with Uncle Chad.
Playing with Grace.
Can you believe they have a slide in there house???

Saturday

Part One:

I woke up at 9am!!! Yeah me. I woke up almost two full hours after Grace. Not a sound was heard from me all night long. I kind of like sleeping in a pink room. We are about to leave for a full day. I'll update you tonight!

Part Two:

What a day! These people don't stop. First we went to Uncle Chad's soccer game at 11:45 this morning. I was such a sweet boy. Aunt Amy let Gracie and I play outside of the stroller and I stayed right there beside the chairs and obeyed everything she asked. Afterwards we went to the mall for lunch. I ate Chick-fli-a nuggets and fruit for lunch. We then went to Maw Maw and Paw Paw's for naps. I was SO tired I feel asleep on the way to there house. Then they had to wake me up to go to the 6:00 game. I took a good nap. We went out to dinner with some soccer friends and I sat in the highchair and laughed at everybody. I have become good buddies with Uncle Chad, I can even say his name, I like the "ch" part of this name. In fact he has been so good to me that I think you should buy him a soccer jersey from Italy....Then home, bubble bath and bedtime. I went right down with with no fuss.

I loved playing with sticks. Big ones and little ones.
It was kind of cold at the evening game. But I was so cute in my hat.
Me and Grace have learned how to share many things.
I didn't want to sit down and take a cute picture. I wanted to play with my stick!But don't worry, Grace took care of me. She is always looking out for me.

She made everyting alright.
Oh how I love to sleep in this car seat!

Friday

Today is Friday. I think it's Friday, nobody has really thought me the days of the week. But anyways, I was able to spend the day at Maw Maw and Paw Paw's all day. Aunt Amy, Uncle Chad and Grace came over for pizza around 7pm. I liked the pizza, Maw Maw fed me like a little bird the whole time. After dinner I played in their den with Grace. Grace really didn't understand that everything in that house is mine. The toys are mine, Maw Maw is mine, the dogs are mine...I didn't want to share any of it with her. Around 7:45 we loaded up in the van and headed out. At first I didn't know where I was going but I was smiling at Grace the whole time. I like having someone in the backseat with me. We first went into Tucker to sign up Uncle Chad's soccer team for this weekend's tournament. He kept telling me I must be used to all this stuff because it is a lot like volleyball. Then, just when I thought we were on our way home, they took a detour to Super Target. Do these people know what time my bedtime is? We got a lot of stuff for Grace's room and Uncle Chad said I was such a good boy. HaHa...he kept telling Grace she should be more like me instead of running around the store like a wild child. On the way out Grace asked Aunt Amy for goldfish. All she said is, "Mommy, fish, please." And she bought them for us. Can you believe we got a late night snack? At 9:40 at night, Aunt Amy changed us into our pj's in the middle of the parking lot. It was SO cold. She thought we would fall asleep on the way home, but we didn't. We just kept looking at each other and laughing. When we got home they put me right to bed. I was tried! 10pm is way best my bedtime. I went right down, you would be proud of me, NO crying. And I even got to sleep in a real crib. I wonder what we will do tomorrow. I am not sure what I have gotten myself into.

Grace is waiting...

Grace is waiting for tonight, when The Maddox family gets to bring Hudson home for the weekend. We are going to have SO much fun! It will be amazing to see how the relationship between the cousins form this coming week.

One more day

One more day until Hudson comes to Georgia!!! Gracie, Aunt Amy, Uncle Chad, Maw Maw and Paw Paw are all waiting to spoil the little boy rotten.
