Little Lion...with a hair cut!

Daddy and his little lion

I am running to the next house!

I think this is me roaring!

Come on Mommy! Keep up!

Helping clean out my pumpkin!

Ready for my first hair cut!

I was such a big boy getting my hair cut!

Look! I went and put on Daddy's shoes! I think they fit!

The morning after Halloween! Sorting all my candy!

We had a great Halloween weekend! Friday started off with our last Music Class and we went dressed as a little lion! We had lunch and played at Chick-Fil-A with Julie and Caroline! That afternoon we went to the MOMS Club Halloween Party and then to dinner with Daddy at Kayson's! It was a great day!

Saturday we got up and took Jack to Pigtails and Crewcuts to get his first hair cut! He was an angel! He sat in a little airplane and smiled and did just great! We were so proud and he looked so cute! Then we went ot Stride Rite to get him some shoes for Fall and Winter! They measured him as a 6.5 and recommended a 7! IS that huge? Sounds big to me but what do I know!

We came home and while Jack napped, we worked! I made a butternut squash and shrimp soup, we carved pumpkins, and got ready for Halloween! We got our little lion all dressed up and after some M&M's, Jack stopped trying to take his lion head off!! SUCCESS!!!! Pictures of him with it on! I was so pleased! We went to a party in the neighborhood and then trick or treating! It was cold and rainy, but we didnt let it stop us! We put the kids in the wagons and off we went! They had a great time and of course we had fun just watching them!!!
We came back to our house with some good friends for soup and watching the Ga Tech game! It was really a great night....now the night ended with me getting sick for most of the night...but I dont think anyone wants to hear about that! There had been a nasty stomach bug going around and unfortunately I got it... good news is that it was short and I am feeling better...and Jack is doing fine! Much better me than my sweet little boy! :)

It was a really great weekend and we had so much fun with our little man!

Lots of love!

Yay!

Another pony ride!

Ok- so it has been a little crazy this Fall with our "Fall outings"....but it has been so much fun! We went to two more fall festival/pumpkin patches this weekend! We are officially worn out, but have had a blast!!!

Friday night we met some great friends for dinner at Mellow Mushroom, Saturday we headed to Gainesville and put Jack down for a nap. Poppa stayed home with Jack, so Steven and I could go have lunch together just us. It was really great and we enjoyed having a nice lunch just us! We have got to do that more often! We met some really good high school friends at Jae-more Farms around 3:30 and the kids had so much fun! We ate fried peach pies, went on a pony ride, walked through a corn maze, and checked out some pumpkins! We went back to Joy's house for some yummy bbq and more playing! It was so great to be with friends AND celebrate Ruby's 30th birthday!! Woooo hoooooooooo!

Sunday we got up and went to Burt's Farm with Granny and Poppa! It did not disappoint for a 2nd annual trip! We had a great time and the weather was AWESOME! Not a cloud in the sky and just cool enough to make it feel like Fall! Later that afternoon, we had some pictures made of Jack, Steven, and I by the lake in Gainesville! I can't wait to see how they turn out! Needless to say, we were wiped out by the time we got home!

Jack has gotten 6 or 7 new teeth in over the last 2-3 weeks...some of them are not all the way through and still seem to be a little sore, but he has really not complained at all! It sure looks like it would hurt! That is a lot at one time!! He is such a little tough guy! He falls down and jumps right back up! He is truly a blast right now! He is just talking more and listening and following directions... However, he is a true toddler these days as it comes to playing and being busy... the older he gets the more he "pushes" the limits to see what he can get away with! We are working on it everyday!

Jack and I both were fighting some colds last week and luckily seem to be both back at 100%! We are ready for a good week! And we have started it off in the right direction! We got up this morning and had some good Mommy and Jack time, then we went for a long chilly walk and then went to some neighbor's for playing and lunch!

Nap time now, which means time for Mommy to get lots done!

Fun times!

These boots were made for walking!

Where are my pants?!

We LOVE anything to with Fall! We had a very great weekend...even though we missed Daddy for most of it as he was in Charlotte! Thurday night, Jack and I spent the night with the Coopers! It is always fun to see the kids together! Friday night, we went to Woodchase's Fall Festival (Jack's school) with our neighbors! It was so much fun! Jack was ready to go as soon as we got there! He wanted down and ran to the playgroup slapping his thighs and smiling! He got in the bouncy house with a couple of other small ones, and he went on his first pony ride! He was all smiles and thought it was so much fun!

We went to Gainesville Friday night (thanks LOTS to Poppa for coming to get us and driving us up there!) Saturday we spent the day playing and watching LOTS of football! The best part was that Uncle Britt, Aunt Jennifer, and Uncle John were there with us! It was great to all be together!

This morning we got up and went to Kinsey Family Farms with the Coopers! Another fall outing for the Leonards (and actually a few more to come!) It was a BEAUTIFUL but very cold morning! Blue skies and lots of sunshine! We went on a hayride, played with pumpkins, rode in wagons, and both Daddy's shot an apple cannon! It was a great day!

Jack has had a cold most of the weekend but it doesnt seem to slow him down! Hopefully it will pass quickly! We took him into the dr. on friday to make sure it wasn't anything more and they said he looked great so hopefully it will be a quick one! That on top of about 4 teeth still pushing their way through could make for a cranky little man, but somehow Jack is always smiling! :)

We got back from Savannah late this afternoon after a great and very tiring weekend! Steven had his 15 year reunion from BC and there was a weekend of events!

We got in town Thursday night to Aunt Sally and John's house. It was way past Jack's bedtime but he was very playful and so excited to see everyone and was up past 10pm! Friday we went to the Yacht Club for lunch, took a nap, then went to Nannie's for happy hour while Daddy went to the BC football game with his buddies! Jack and I did stop by to say hey to everyone and then back home for bedtime! Daddy had a really good time that night! ;)

Saturday we had breakfast at the Thorpe's and visited with John and Maddy...then spent most of the day visiting with the Floyd Family at Granny's. Mimi was so happy to see her sweet Jack! It was such a great day! Lots of good family time and good bbq from Granny's church! Jack was again very happy to see all of his family!

Saturday night, Daddy and I went to the Golf Club for a low country boil for the reunion! We had such a fun time with all of our good friends! We miss them so much!

Today we got up and went to Grandbubba's for lunch! It was so good and we left there happy and full! We had a nice ride back and are happy to be home!

It truly was a great weekend of family and friends, and nothing makes us happier than all the ones we love spending time with Jack! He was such a big boy this weekend and played with everyone and was a champ with our busy schedule! He is truly our angel!

Tomorrow morning is Jack's 18 month dr. appointment with Dr. G! CAN YOU BELIEVE IT?! He is so grown up!

Check out the pictures!

Sunday night BBQ at the Leonards! Dylan, Jack, Emily, Sammy, and Cooper!

We are really packing it in and trying to make the most of our Fall and this GORGEOUS weather! We had such a great weekend!
We started off the weekend with Music Class on Friday morning followed by a walk and lunch with Julie and Caroline. We went back to the Cooper's that night and we all walked to the Greek Festival! The weather was great and we had fun! The food was very good!

Saturday morning, we went to Morgan's 3rd Birthday Party! It was an amazing Candyland party! Jack had a blast! It could not have been any better! Miss Elizabeth really outdid herself! You will see from the pictures!

We went home for a nap and then over to the Forgey's with friends to grill out and hang out! It was a nice Fall evening! On Sunday, we got up and went for a walk and ran some errands...then spent most of the afternoon getting ready to have some friends over for a cook-out! (Daddy put two Boston Butts on the Egg at 11:30pm Sat. night - they were delicious!) Tonight was so much fun and all the kids played in the backyard and we all at BBQ!

It really was an awesome weekend! I think we are about to crash! It was non-stop but well worth it!

As always, Jack keeps us very busy but smiling always! He is such a little man with quite the personality! He loves doing the hokey pokey lately and falling down! He loves for you to ask him to fall down! He laughs and runs and crashes! Who knew it could be so fun! He is our little blessing and we love him so much!

Happy Families!

This is me getting excited!

Can't wait for Caitlin to get here!

Well, it's officially stopped raining in Atlanta...at least hopefully for a little while! We did not have any trouble with the flooding except for traffic issues, so we feel very blessed. Our area was one of the hardest hit and there are definitely lots of families that lost so much. We are thankful everyday for our little family!

Well, this week is supposed to be cool and beautiful!!! It is by far our favorite time of year! Chilly nights and clear crisp days! Gotta love the fall in Atlanta!

We had a great weekend together! We started Friday off with Music Class and then a whole day of fun with Julie and Caroline! We ran lots of errands and a trip to the North Georgia State Fair on Saturday! We also went up to Aunt Jennifer and Uncle "Da"'s for dinner tonight! Jack played outside and got to see his grandparents and aunt and uncle! It was a lot of fun! We are getting so excited about Caitlin getting here! The nursery is so cute and Jennifer looks great! It is really very exciting for everyone!

Come on Fall! We love it!

Check out all our new pictures....there are a couple of albums, so don't miss any!
