What I'm Thankful For This Year

Handy Manny Daddy

In preparation for the upcoming arrival of the Atachoochie Boys (who, by the way, have names now--Will and Henry!) Daddy installed hardwood floors in the entire downstairs of our house. He worked so hard and the outcome was AMAZING! Jack gave Daddy a new nickname when he was sawing and wearing his goggles--Handy Manny Daddy!

A Robot?

Jack donned this special outfit the other day and declared himself a robot. A pullup (outside his clothes), a life jacket, swim goggles (not shown) and a box on his head obviously makes him a robot :)

Go Hoos Go!

We've been to several football games this year but have only managed one good family picture. We'll try again this Saturday!

Uncle Mark and Aunt Sarah

Uncle Mark and Aunt Sarah came to Charlottesville for Halloween weekend and for the UVA/Duke football game. Despite Mommy being on her death bed with a kidney stone (that's right, not only is she carrying around twins, but she suffered through a kidney stone for 4 days!) we had such a fantastic time catching up with our dear friends. Jack really adores Mark and Sarah and we can't wait for their bundle of joy to arrive in March so Jack and the boys will have a playmate!

To Infinity and Beyond!

We spent Halloween this year in Charlottesville and Jack participated in the annual trick-or-treating on the Lawn at UVA. It was kind of surreal for Mommy and Daddy because when we were in college, we used to go to the lawn to see the adorable trick-or-treaters and talk about how some day we would bring our kids. It was definitely a full-circle moment.

Jack decided when were in Disney World in September that he wanted to be Buzz Lightyear for Halloween and he never wavered. He was decked out!
Jack has been talking about trick-or-treating for months and would often practice on us at home. By the time it was actually Halloween, he was ready! He checked his bag every time to see what kind of loot he scooped!
