Happy Thanksgiving!

Hope you all had a wonderful thanksgiving. We definitely have so much to be thankful for around here. We have had a wonderful and thrilling last couple of months. Thanks for your prayers, well-wishes, and love. We had a great, but all too short, thanksgiving filled with good food and family. Our tree is now up with no lights or ornaments...but it does have water!! Hopefully, it can be decorated soon. This Christmas season is flying! Today, I packed up Bowen's clothes that he has already outgrown. That's definitely when it hits you..when an outfit fits one day and not the next. But I am so thankful he is growing big and strong so I won't complain! Sorry not too many pictures this time- we've been a little short on time around here! Love to all and know we are thankful for all of you in our lives!

I thought I had a puppy.

Love to you all!

2 months and smiling!

The last month has been filled with smiles and coos and little coo-laughs! SO MUCH FUN! Bowen weighs about 13 pounds and gaining steadily. He jumped from the 75th percentile in everything to the 85th and 90th. (I know nobody really cares about that but us...just FYI :)...) We are having tons of fun and sleeping so much more, so mom is thrilled and somewhat functional again. Although, that's all relative if you know mom. These are just pictures of Bowen smiling, and then the last 2 he wasn't smiling so much as we put him on the rocking horse. Poor thing. Hope he survives my antics.

2 months with my pup!

Happy Baby!
OH MY, OH MY!
I'm smiling even though the Hogs lost! I'm just waiting for next year!
Gidde up Horsey!
Get to town! Now, get me off this thing.

Trick or Treat!

Happy Halloween! Bowen has been doing great and he has had a wonderful Halloween WEEK! So many friends (Elise, Kim, April&Greg) and KitKat and cousin Lauren gave us Halloween outfits that we had to wear them all week to get them in! Thank you so much, we had quite the dress up time with Mommy! On Halloween, Bowen actually dressed up as a Beach Boy during the day and a Pumpkin that night when it got cold! No candy for Bowen this year, but mom and dad got to hand out some and eat even more!
Hope this finds you all getting "Treats!"

One Month Old!

So Bowen turned a month old on the 9th and weighed an ounce shy of 10 lbs. He is growing fast!! And now, he is already 6 weeks old! Week 5 was a little rough and had me getting the books out reading about colic, but then he just all of a sudden turned into angel-baby and is sleeping really well now.
These are just some random pictures. Notice how much he has grown with his puppy!

Some new and old Pics

Again, so sorry it takes me so long. We went to Bentonville to cousin April's wedding. I am so upset I didn't get a picture of Bowen with the beautiful bride. Hopefully, someone else did and I can post that. Just some more pics below. Follow the puppy pictures in the future. I am going to try to take Bowen's picutre with it every month so we can watch him grow! I can't believe he will be a month old this week!

More Pictures of Bowen!

Sorry it takes me so long to post new pics. Bowen is growing SO fast...I just want it to slow down already! He is still sweet and being a good boy.Thank you for your sweet comments, we enjoy reading them.

Bowen's First Week

Here are some new pictures. I am still learning to be Mommy and the Blogger of the Household, so they are very much out of order. Hopefully you will enjoy them in whatever order! We have had a wonderful week and are so happy and feel blessed to have such a sweet, healthy boy.
