sweetness...

and more...

from lindsey's phone dump...please teach me to do that with my phone...thank you...

and a happy thanksgiving it was...

Hunter met his great grandpapa for the first time and another heart was captured by the boy's sweetness...this is Hunter after a very long car ride in the dreaded car seat after literally going "over the river and through the woods to grandmama's house we go"...

the yearly dog at the table...year three...

another round of tablescaping...year 15...

thanksgiving wishes written and typed and hung on the thanksgiving tree...

pumpkin pies were made and the pie crust decorating remained an annual tradition...


 

pop-poparazzi...

sometimes it takes a village...

Hunter's first car...a red convertible...and he liked it...i'm predicting there will be lots of jumping going on in Halifax...

a G 4 summit via phone...all 4 G's listening to the gurgles and cries of the newest member of that club...

such a talker with so many funny stories...and he is getting louder which is most delightful...

so much snuggling going on...

the MOST delicious entree.appetizer.dessert was this sweet bundle of love...the smiles and chuckles and big wide open mouth grins where he crinkles his eyes with total glee just make us all so so very grateful for this charmed life...

goodbye little funny feet...see you very soon...

Hunter was here...

and my chandelier has never looked better...

annie is ready for Hunter to really PLAY...is it because Hunter moves and coos more...or is it because everyone gets excited when the boy is around...or has annie simply fallen head over heels in love with the boy just like everyone who meets him...seriously who could resist this sweet face...

how many times have i heard the big G say "oh i just LOVE him"...i think it's getting pretty darn close to about a million or 2 or 3... 

the eyes get a little bluer and the eyelashes get a little longer every.single.day...

and seeing the smiles...and hearing the excited coos...and the delightful noises of glee that come from this little cherub...make the world a better place to live...if you also add in how charming it is to watch his him move his little legs and arms with complete happiness...well...that is simply the icing on the cake...the cherry on top of the ice cream sundae...the ying to your yang...the peanut butter to your jelly...xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo...

:)...

today is our halloween...

it's been a long long very long week...ending with the rescheduled halloween for the island...annie in her bumblebee costume entertained us beyond measure...she sits...stays...barely budges...moves her eyes as if looking for help out of this inane activity...BUT as always will do anything for cookies...pumpkin cranberry cookies as it tis the season...

 
still waiting for trick or treaters...
happy belated rescheduled halloween...

and a dash of complete and utter blue eyed cuteness...
