Moving!

On top of raising some kids and being employed, we'll also be packing, moving, and unpacking this weekend. We've bought the house of our dreams and have vowed that our next move will be into the old folks home. Enough of this 2-to-3-years-and-we're-out junk...

E-mail me if you want the new address -- I'd be happy to give it out to anyone who wants to mail some generous housewarming gifts (we're in the market for a new couch and also some bar stools for the kitchen) or bring by some delicious food. Sorry, Internet creeps, you're not invited to our home.

A Harrison-ized Outfit

Knit cap (thank you, Aunt Karen), Tigger sweatshirt, Goofy underpants, frog rain boots, and some pumpkins.

Hewitt Eats!

It's time! He's been watching every bite we've put into our mouths for a few weeks now, so we thought we'd give him a chance...

The scene is set. "Harrison, what's about to happen to me here? Give it to me straight, big brother."

"Huh. That's what all the fuss is about? Pass the milk."

Some post-meal relaxation...

There it is! Absolute relaxation!

An update : Hewitt loves eating. After several weeks of different foods, all we've found so far that he doesn't like is broccoli. What does he like? Avocadoes, sweet potatoes, yellow squash, acorn squash, butternut squash, canteloupe, green beans, peas, bananas, yogurt, puffs... Up next? Peaches and cauliflower (but not together).

Look At That Profile!

That is one well-fed baby!

Hanging Around the House

Hewitt driving the cardboard box truck that Grandaddy made.

A wild ride in the homemade truck!! Where are they going? To Chattanooga, according to Harrison.

Sweet Hew with his funny hair and chubby legs.

Harrison in a tunnel!

Mama and her boys -- one with a shocked look and one with a fake smile.

Harrison and the "baby" playground -- the slide on the front porch. The "big" playground is the one at the park a few blocks away.

The acorn family that Harrison and Grandmama made together. If you don't like it, Harrison might punch you.

Taking the pumpkins, buckets, and trucks for a ride.

Oh, my!

A Trip to the Botanical Gardens

The boys, Dada, Katy, Grandmama, and Grandaddy went on an outing to the Atlanta Botanical Gardens.

Such a handsome young man.

Chris didn't know why everyone was laughing at him until he saw Hewitt's hair later.

So handsome!!

Post OptionsWatch out, Anne Geddes.

Pumpkin Patch Day

Met our small group from church at a pumpkin patch nearby. Took about 100 pictures and this is the only one worth posting -- boys were too busy to pose today...

Umm...

Harrison "helping" Hewitt to sit / Hewitt begging us to help Harrison "help" him.

Not so sure about this...!

Vogue

Lookin' sassy! I think he's even sitting in his hip like a true model.

Brought to you by the letter O (which is what Harrison is jauntily wearing on his head).

Maybe Someday...!

A Message From Harrison

Happy birthday to JOSSSHHH!

Septathalon

I love the fall, and I do my best to make my boys love the fall with me. This afternoon we went over to the track/field/exercise course at a high school near us to burn off some energy. Harrison needed to get outside, too. :) And thus was born the Septathalon...

1. Ball chasing -- It was windy out, so in case you can't understand what Harrison says, I've put the riveting dialog below the video...

"Get it, Dada! That's funny."

2. Long Jumping -- Also known as "Putting Sand in Your Pockets for Later."

3. Discus Throwing -- Harrison spins around the outside of the ring, just to be different.

4. Vaulting

5. Balancing -- First standing on one foot and then walking the beam.

You can hear Hewitt sneeze. :) He was riding in the Baby Bjorn on the front of me, so he was right by the microphone.

6. Pushup Doing -- Least popular event.

"Let's don't do this anymore. Let's hang instead. Oops -- That was my bottom bonking on the ground. Let's go find a higher bar for hanging."

7. Hanging -- First from the side-by-side bars and then on a single bar.

Look at those abs!

Hewie getting warmed up and ready to enter the competition.

It's on!

Harrison says, "Hang, Hewitt." :)
