Oh Where, Oh Where Have I Been??

Actually, I wish I had some really exciting excuse, like I've been away on vacation . But, sadly, I just haven't taken the time to update this darn thing. I guess to be fair to myself things have been fairly busy: from football games to trips home to Beaufort to scrapbook days (woohoo!), I've been using most of my free time to do other things...like laundry! AND, let me not forget that lovely afternoon when I realized my camera had somehow made it into the laundry...and I didn't realize it until that load was bring transferred from the washer to the dryer. YIKES! Thankfully, I had recently uploaded my pictures to the computer. After a few days of "drying out," I am happy to report that little Sony camera is really no worse for wear. Craig contends I did it on purpose -- I have been aching for a newer piece of equipment -- but honestly I blame it on the trials of Mother Multi-Tasking. My mind (and body) are usually tackling multiple things at one time, so I'm really not surprised this happened. Hey...it could have been worse...Anyway, we are all alive and well! Bowman is walking!!!!!! And Porter has recently met his new little friend, his own little Elf he so lovingly named, "Reindeer." Craig and I are the same, though another year of my life has passed...seriously, am I really 33!?!?! Seems too hard to believe...
Anyway, I promise to get this thing updated by week's end. Hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving! Now let the Christmas festivities begin!!!!!

Bowman's Birthday(s)

My little one year old!!!! Bowman ended up having a few celebrations -- one with us, one with some close friends, and a final party at Grammy & Pop-Pop's. Talk about a special little boy! His actual birthday fell during the week, and I couldn't let this special day just pass us by. So, Craig and I decided to do a "family" party...just the 4 of us! Though it wasn't Bowman's first taste of cake, he didn't seem to care. He was so excited to see the tiny cake coming towards him; don't you wish you could hold on to some moments forever!


Obviously he wasn't shy...he dove right in without a moment's hesitation! Though he did manage to eat a few bites, I think Bowman liked playing with his cake more than eating it. Oh well! When else in your life do people find you covered in a cake absolutely adorable???




For Bowman's second celebration, we decided to keep it very small...just Bowman's closest friends. Since Halloween is right around the corner, we went with the theme and had everyone come over in their costumes. Too cute!!!
Our cute little horsey!


Yet another cake...this time in miniature (I made cupcakes for everyone!)

Porter singing to his brother

William with his cupcake...don't think he's quite too sure of this stuff!

Jennifer & McLean




Finally, we celebrated Bowman's birthday at Grammy & Pop-Pop's on Halloween. Aunt Leslie made YUMMY carrot cake cupcakes (enjoyed by all!) As you can see, Bowman's definitely starting to enjoy all of the festivites!







Happy Birthday Bowman...we can't wait to see what the next year will bring!!!!
