Thanksgiving 2009

We had a great Thanksgiving with family, followed by insane Black Friday shopping at 4 AM. So that we could shop early, Peter stayed with Papaw and Mamaw and had his first real sleepover (technically he had a sleepover at Uncle Jeremy and Aunt Jen's the night Liberty was born, but that was only half a night) away from Daddy and Mommy.

Cousin Taryn, Peter, and Liberty... of course no one wanted to look at the camera or smile

Mamaw got these coordinating dresses for the girls - aren't they adorable? :)

Liberty, Cousin Zach, and Peter

Look at her wee white patent leather shoes!

Fall Happenings

Here is a random assortment of pictures from this fall. Peter's birthday and party photos are not included because I plan on posting them separately, soon (that's the plan anyway).

The first two photos were taken at Red Robin on Christi's birthday:

Liberty is now learning to play with toys!

Yup, that's Peter eating out of the peanut butter jar (it was almost empty)!

Peter's first time eating cotton candy - naturally he loved it!

This boy does not like looking at the camera...

Our little pumpkin and wild tiger!

The cousins together (refusing to pose, of course)... Taryn is a butterfly

Peter helping Mommy cook

This is actually a doll stroller! Perfect size for Peter to push Liberty in, but it wasn't very stable.

That's a calculater that Peter thinks is a cell phone. He placed it on Liberty's ear so that she could talk!

End of Summer Fun

Here are some photos from August and September that I kept meaning to post here but never did. Too cute not to share even if they aren't very current!

This is Peter's first ice cream cone. He loved it!


Cousin Taryn and Peter in the pool at Mamaw and Papaw's


It's nearly impossible to get Peter and Taryn to look at the camera! This was the best pic we got of them.

Baby Papoose :)

Getting ready to go out to celebrate our third anniversary, one week late due to Liberty's hospitalization.

Liberty's first time swimming!

Peter absolutely loves the water! Someday we'll have to get him a pool...

Liberty being adorable, as usual ;)
