The Pumpkin Patch!

We all took a trip to pick out our pumpkins last week. Parker had a great time running up and down the isles looking at the pumpkins and pulling the wagon. Cole, well he slept. We found the perfect three and now all we have to do is get to carving. We have to wait til Friday night to do that though because Wally is back in Chapel Hill til Friday evening taking a class for work. Let's hope we have no need for him to rush back this time like he had to do last month thanks to the early arrival of Cole.











Jackson's come to visit!

Our dear friends the Jackson's came to visit Cole a little over a week ago. We had a great time catching up with them and the kids had a blast playing. Everyone took a turn holding Cole but I have to say Jenna was probably the most excited. She kept asking to hold him and making sure we knew he was a baby. It was very sweet and she was naturally nurturing. Amazing to see in such a little one (she'll be 2 in December).

The whole Jackson clan!

Jenna enjoying holding Cole!

Kids at play


Jake taking his turn at Parker's newest game. Oh yes, jumping off his bed onto "big orange" aka. the orange bean bag. Can you say dangerous, but oh so fun.

Cole

One of the best snugglers!!!

"I love my Wubba Nub"
This is truely a fantastic invention.


I Love My Brother!



Back to work!

Well we were blessed with Wally being able to take 1 month off after Cole was born. It definitely helped us relax after our hospital adventure as well as help everyone get adjusted to life with a second child. We had time to relax, go to appoinments and of course have some fun. He went back 1 1/2 weeks ago so now we are all back to the grind! Doing well though. Parker has truely adjusted well and Cole is as cool and chill as they come.
I have a feeling he gets that from Wally :).

Cole was so sweet while Wally was out. He helped him on the computer so he could stay home longer.
I told you he was a good baby.

We all took a trip to the aquarium. Parker loves to go here so we decided to go before Wally went back. Cole, well he just slept.

What cute little crabs these two are!!




Aunt Susie also came to visit us. This was exceptionally fun because she is pregnant and due at the end of January. She was definietly a natural with Cole and well Parker thinks she's pretty fabulous. We are so glad she was able to come down which was actually a surprise. I was home with the boys while Wally was at an ECU football game (Go Pirates!!!) and I had a knock at the door (7pm I might add) and I thought who could that be. It was one of the best surprises. We enjoyed her all weekend and can't wait to see her again.

My Boys!

Parker has really taken to his new brother. He is intrigued by him and all the noises he makes and things we do with him. He naturally is wanting to help and is quite sweet on him. He will give him hugs, kisses and let us know that "he is hungry" when he makes the slightest peep, all without prompting. I couldn't have asked for a better transition for bringing a new baby into our house. He is such a good boy and Cole (or as Parker likes to call him, Cole Baby) is definitely lucky to have him as an older brother.

What great boys I have!!!

Here's a video of Parker singing to Cole. This melts my heart everytime I watch it!
