James and Cole

James is at an age now where he is interested in playing with other kids. Over the past few weeks, we've had the pleasure of spending some time with our good friends Matt and Lauren Warner. Their son is Cole (he's been known to make an appearance on our blog from time to time), and they just had a beautiful baby girl named Kathryn (Kate) Grace!

James and Cole are best buddies these days! They build with blocks together, sit at the piano together, give each other hugs and kisses at random, wrestle and laugh hysterically at each other. Their interactions are so fun to watch. Here are some recent pictures from a Christmas pajama potluck party at the Warner's home...

Thanksgiving 2010

It was just the three of us (well, 4 if you count Audrey) for Thanksgiving this year. We had a wonderful day together to reflect on our blessings and all that we are thankful for.

We started the day in the kitchen. I made crepes, and we filled them with bananas and Nutella. Yum!


We ate our breakfast in the dining room and watched the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. Don't let the fork in James' hand fool you; he didn't eat a single bite of his delicious breakfast! Our boy is a picky eater!


James really liked watching the Rockettes in the parade. After they were done dancing, he started clapping and signing for more! Fortunately for him, we have DVR, so we played it a couple more times.

In the afternoon, we went outside to throw the football around a little bit. James was not too happy with us because we put a jacket on him. Heaven forbid! Our sweet boy has thrown some of the biggest fits over having a jacket on. It's going to be a long winter!


After watching some football, our delicious Thanksgiving dinner was ready for us to feast! James had a bite of cranberries, but not much else. He did enjoy feeding mama and dada though! Thanks for the help little man!
