Happy Birthday Trey! (Part 2)

After eating some yummy jambalaya for dinner, it was then Henry's favorite part of anyone's birthday...cake time!

By the huge smile on Henry's face you would have thought it was his birthday! ;-)

(By the way, Henry let Trey borrow his birthday king crown!)



Make a wish!



Trey made the comment that he was turning 34 and still didn't have a "real" job. I don't agree with that at all but no matter what you have a wife that adores you and two kids that think you hung the moon!



We love you so very, very much Birthday Boy! ;-)

Playing in the Leaves

Henry raking up the leaves in our yard...



We don't get to make many snow angels around here so Henry decided to make some leaf angels instead! :-)



"Ahhh, this is heaven!" :-)

THANK YOU!

I wanted to send a huge THANK YOU to my parents for all of their help these past couple of months! I am pretty sure that they were the only reason I survived the months where Trey was gone on interviews and Charlotte was sick.

Mom and Dad drove 8 hours for a weekend in October specifically to watch Henry play soccer. :-) And then Mom at the last minute decided to fly out here for five days to help with the kids while Trey was gone. She helped me juggle Charlotte's doctor's appointments while getting Henry to and from preschool. She watched a sick, puny Charlotte so that I could nap. Plus she watched the kids numerous times so that I could get out by myself which is HUGE! And then a couple of weeks later she and Dad drove back out here to watch the kids so that Trey and I could go to his medical school reunion! Whew! ;-)

So Mom and Dad, THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!

We love you and appreciate all that you do and Henry and Charlotte loved every minute spent with their Memére and Pepére! :-)

5-Year Medical School Reunion

It is really hard to believe but Trey's 5-year medical school reunion at Wake Forest was held at the beginning of November. We were really excited that my parents were able to come watch the kids so that Trey and I could go!

These are the friends that you can go for months and years without seeing yet pick up right where you left off.



These are the friends that when you get together you know you will ALWAYS have a good time!



These are the friends (among others) that we are really excited to be closer to once we move to Charlotte!



These are friends that will be lifelong no matter how much distance is between us!



Thank you guys for all of the memories made this weekend! I had not laughed that hard in a really long time! :-) We love you!

"Date" Night at Sonic

The nights that Trey is not home can be very long so lots of times the kids and I will go out on a "dinner date". I give Henry a couple of restaurant/fast food choices and his hands-down favorite is still Sonic Drive-In!

"Mom, I don't get Henry's love of this place either! I guess the straws taste alright." ;-)



How can I say no to this happy, excited, covered-in-mustard face?!



I definitely miss date nights with my husband but date nights with my kids come in a close second!

The iPhone Master

My three-year old son knows how to use my iPhone WAY better than I do so there are lots of times I find pictures on my phone like this! ;-)



He makes me smile!

"Trick-Or-Treat"

The kids anxiously waiting to go trick-or-treating!



In the wagon ready to go!



While we were sorting through all of Henry's loot, Charlotte decided to sneak away a piece of candy for herself. :-)



One of Henry's most favorite neighbors, Mr. Tom was giving away body parts candy. Henry absolutely LOVED that!

What a large eye you have there Henry! ;-)



I hope everyone had a wonderful Halloween with no tricks and lots of treats!
