Yesterday I took some pictures of him sitting in his crib. He is getting so big now.

Summer is here

This past weekend we had JJ try out the swimming pool for the first time. Let's just say he was NOT a fan. He hates cold hands so we were kinda expecting this. Even though he didn't like it, he was so cute with his sad faces.

He's giving pitiful looks so we don't put him back in

From JJ Pool time

He is paranoid we are going to put him back in

From JJ Pool time

Daddy is mean - giving it one more try, this time in the boat

From JJ Pool time

Afterwards we took him in the house and put dry clothes back on him. Then he turned back into our happy boy

3rd Annual Second Thanksgiving Feast

This last Saturday was our 3rd annual Second Thanksgiving. This time we hosted it at our house. It was pretty crowded and complete chaos at times but we LOVED it and already can't wait for next year :)

I wasn't going to put up Thanksgiving decor but changed my mind about 20 minutes before everyone was supposed to arrive. With so many people we just used paper plates and utensils to make clean up easy. I'm so glad we did.

Aaron was singing songs from the Little Mermaid and Morgan loved it. The next morning I asked her what her favorite part of the party was and she said "Little Mermaid songs".
