Thanksgiving 2012

We started our break with a visit to the new Dunkin' Donuts that opened. Parker approved! 

After that, we headed to the grandparents house. We missed Marmee and Poppa, but they were spending time with sweet baby Caroline.  We spent lots of time with our sweet cousins.

And this was actually after our break. Parker likes to walk around the neighborhood and look at all the Christmas decorations.

Every year at Thanksgiving at my parents' house, we have to go around and tell what we're thankful for. This year, Parker said he was thankful for Batman. He's a deep thinker.....

Welcome to the world, Baby Caroline!

Caroline Grace Bosmans

8 lbs, 3 oz. and 21 inches.

She's absolutely beautiful, and we can't wait to meet her at Christmas! 

All to myself

Last weekend, Phillip and his friends went away for a guys weekend. That meant I got Parker all to myself! He's such a big daddy's boy, so it was kind of nice to get all his attention! We had such a wonderful time, especially considering it was a 3 day weekend for me. Barri, Dayle, and the kids came over on Friday to play, and on Saturday we hung out with Aunt Meredith. It was such a fun, fun weekend, and I felt completely refreshed heading into the week!

Some of his favorite things

 Reading books with Daddy...or really reading books in general.....

and

Hanging out with Marmee and Poppa!

These are some of his favorite things! 

"Injuries" aka Energy

Lately Parker has become very in tune with his "injury" energy level. For example, when he wants an extra snack, he'll say, "Mommy, look (while sucking in his tummy). I need some injuries. See, I'm all out of injuries. I need a snack."

Our life

Family

We spent last weekend with both sets of grandparents and cousins. We had such a fun time, and we always hate to head back to reality!

Somehow I neglected to get any pictures with Marmee and Poppa. I'll be sure to get some the next time we see them.
