Caroline is just a dream! Now, if I could just freeze her at this age...how perfect!?!

Oh, these are the days!
She's so happy and I'm so sad. I just can't believe how fast she's growing. Now that she's crawling and cruising furniture, Caroline doesn't not want to snuggle with her mommy. SO, SO sad!!!! If she cuddles up, it's because she's super tired or something is just not right with her (probably teeth?).
Caroline is just a dream! Now, if I could just freeze her at this age...how perfect!?!

Cousin Reagan..."Yes" Mommy..."No"
Bowen had a visit from his cousin Reagan this past weekend. He follows her around, does whatever she does, he adores her. Having Reagan around is like having a built in babysitter! I just wished she lived in Windermere!
When Reagan is around, Mommy is just chopped liver. Example of a conversation we had this past weekend...
Mommy: "Bowen, would you like me to take you potty?"
Bowen: "No, no, no"
Reagan: "Bowen, would you like me to take you potty?"
Bowen" "Sure, yes"
Ten minutes later...
Mommy: "Bowen, why don't you go in your room and play with your toys?"
Bowen: "No"
Reagan: "Bowen, let's go to your room and play"
Bowen: "Okay"

Is it February???????? What happened to January?
I'm embarrassed that I haven't updated our lives via blog in a MONTH!!!!!!!! UGH! What's happening that's keeping me soooooo busy you say?????? HA! Well.....
Caroline is on the go and still the happiest little sweetheart! She's walking with a walker, crawling all over to stay right next to Bowen (she loves her some Bowen), and eating like a linebacker. The girl took down an entire pork chop for lunch the other day! 10 month old!

Bowen loves his sister so much. He is the first to hear her wake from a nap on the monitor and always asks if he can go get her. Of course, I'm still lifting her out of her crib, but Bowen is right there hanging on the railing, waiting for her to get up.
Bowen is talking up a storm and he can be super funny. We're clear of the terrible 2's and gearing up for a wonderful 3rd year. He tells me all the time that I'm his best friend. That erases every "terrible 2" tantrum! Bowen is completely potty trained (underwear only) and his verbal capabilities allow him to make his potty necessities be known to the public. Today he told the cashier at Target, "I need to poo-poo right now". So cute!

Christmas at the Overton House
Christmas was just so much fun this year. Bowen left a key at the front door for Santa (a way to get in to the house w/out a chimney!!)and he also left a cookie for the big guy. Bowen woke up and ran to our room around 2:45am ready to start his Christmas morning. He NEVER wakes up in the middle of the night. His wee hours excitement came to an end as we made him go back to sleep in our room.
So we kicked off the day around 7AM with Bowen finding his scary dinosaur under the tree. ROAR!!!!!!! STOMP! STOMP! Okay, stop the dinosaur....Bowen is scared! Yes, scared of the scary dinosaur that he talked about for months!!!! He uses the remote for the dino when the dino is behind glass on the back porch. Scary dinosaur is not so scary when he's behind glass. When Caroline finally woke up in the morning (at a reasonable time:)) she was all smiles over all of the Christmas commotion.
Mimi, Papa, Uncle Matt, and Barbie (Matt's girlfriend) shared Christmas morning with us in Windermere. Granddaddy Jack came over in the evening to celebrate both Christmas and his birthday with us. Uncle John, Aunt Lori, cousins Reagan and Weston headed to our house the day after Christmas to share in the fun.

The super scary dinosaur! 
Me and the munchkins!
All this for little old me?
I don't know why I'm smiling in this picture. Caroline looks like she's almost walking? I'm not ready to have kids going in different directions!
I love this stroller! It's holding me up!
Mimi and Papa made me a fireman for Christmas!

I think Bowen's favorite part of the holidays was heading outside to play with his cousins.

A stroll through the mall before Christmas.
It's been quite a while since I've posted any photos. The kids have been keeping us busy with the excitement that surrounds the holidays. I wish we could do it all again. The 2009 holidays were so extra special this year. Bowen really began to understand the magic of Christmas (and...you better be a good boy or Santa won't stop at our house) and Caroline experienced her first Christmas.
I had to place a post for our trip to the mall a few days prior to Christmas. Our shopping was complete and we could just take all of the holiday spirit in. We took a trip to the mall with the kids, listened to the holiday music, looked at all of the decorations, and ate lunch. We REALLY enjoyed Brantley's 2 weeks off of work!!!! Again, I wish we could do it all again.
OUR PHOTOS AT THE MALL...
Shopping makes me thirsty!!!!!!!!!
