Under the weather...again!

Sorry it's been a little while since my last post, but we've been under the weather yet again!  We celebrated two birthdays, Eli (35) and Carmen (29), Thanksgiving, and had some crawling action from Baby Reese.  That's right...5 months old and he's rocking and moving away!  He is desperately trying to keep up with Emmanuel and his cousins.

Below are some pictures from our outings over the last couple of weeks.

Reese looks more and more mature to me everyday. He is no longer a tiny little newborn that I brought home from the hospital...he is growing into a chunky, mobile infant. 

It's hard to believe that just two weeks ago, we had weather in the 70s.  We enjoyed a family stroll in Centennial Park.

Emmanuel, oh, I mean "Bob the Builder" needed a quick snack before building another house!

My husband and the boys all dressed up in their blue sweaters!  (Emmanuel is wearing a bow tie--he has become quite fond of bow ties these days!)

Emmanuel and his blue bow tie (you can't really see it with this shirt.)

As a rule, we started decorating for Christmas on the weekend after Thanksgiving!  Emmanuel chose blue as the featured color for the ornaments this year.  Blue is his favorite color.  Also, in honor of our Emmanuel tree, we have candy canes because he is obsessed with peppermints!

I have no Carolina outfits for my boys (I keep telling myself that we will make a trip to Chapel Hill and buy them there...but that road trip would be disastrous right now with Reese), but they do have these brightly colored orange clothes (which I like to hide...just joking)!   So, when it was announced that Carolina would play UT in the Music City Bowl, I ran to find my Carolina hat so that I could put it on Reese.  Eli, of course, had already taught Emmanuel how to cheer, "Go Vols!"  It might get ugly on Dec. 30th in the Foster household when our teams go head to head.

These boys are so silly.

Reese looked at me as if to say, "Please, no more pictures, I don't like the red light."

"But, just because you begged me, I will smile for you!"

He's such a sweet baby...fiesty...but sweet most of the time!  

We are trying to get better...humidifiers...flu shots...hot tea with honey....hopefully our sickness will pass soon. 

Cheers!
