Little Brothers are AWESOME

The cooler weather that we've had the past few days forced me to scramble to find some clothes for the kids to wear.  Thankfully Gigi had given Hudson this little brother onesie and pants outfit.  We took a cue from his clothing and our saying for the day was, "Little Brothers are AWESOME!"


It certainly is true and we just love, love, love our little guy.  I know I'll probably jinx myself by saying this, but he is proving to be such a good baby.  He's so laid back and content and has even started sharing a few smiles here and there (although you really have to work for it).

Our morning started bright and early.  Not quite sure why, but the girls have started waking up before 7 AM on most days.  Before I go to bed each night I fix a few baggies of cereal for them to eat while they watch some early morning cartoons.  This little trick allows me to stay in bed just a little bit longer.  Here they are having a Lucky Charms party in my bed this morning.


The girls had another wonderful day at school.  Week two is proving to be just as great as week one.  Handley was happy to tell me about a new friend she made in her class today and Harper seems to be the social butterfly in her class that I expected her to be.  They love sharing their artwork with me when they get home and are so proud of what they've done.


Our Labor Day weekend was pretty uneventful.  We had zero plans the whole weekend and while it was nice to just be around home, we were all a little stir crazy by day three.  The biggest news over the weekend was that we sold our boat.  After listing it on craigslist, it sold just a few days later.  Robby said it felt weird seeing it drive away being pulled by someone else's car.  We made SO many wonderful memories on that boat, but now we are looking forward to getting something bigger and better to accommodate our family of five and all of our friends, too!

Little brothers ARE awesome, and it sure looks/sounds like y'all got an especially awesome one with Hudson!

I sure hope we adjust to school over here as well as y'all have. I know that is comforting for you to know that both kids are so happy with the new schedules.

And yay for selling the boat. Can't wait to see what is next for y'all!

I think Charlotte would agree that little brothers are awesome. :) Well, most of the time anyway. Glad to see you guys are doing so well and adjusting to life with 3!

It was great seeing you yesterday! Hudson is the cutest little baby boy...I didn't want to give him back :)

Can't wait for our play date next week!

Love the cereal party and the boat is SOLD! I know that was probably a bit sad, but more memories and a bigger one is fun to look forward to!

Great idea about the cereal -- might have to borrow that! The kids look like they are growing up so fast -- and so cute!
