Halloween Parade!

This weekend was the annual Halloween parade in the neighborhood. As always there were hundreds of kids, parents and a few pets ready to strut around the street. Usually the firetruck accompanies us but they got a call right before we were ready to march so we were led by an old Ford F100 instead. Regardless all of the kids were having a great time checking out everyone else in full costume. Gwennie decided she wanted to wear her mini mouse costume and Hudson was sporting his Moose (not mouse) ensemble. After we had a bunch of friends over for a barbecue and I wish I would have taken pictures because the kids were all running around having a blast! Today we are all pretty pooped as you can see from the final pictures of Hudson camped out in our bed.

Zoo With the Twins and on the Potty Training Home Stretch!

We had another great weekend of fun and fall weather. Saturday I gave Corbin the day off and headed up to the Asheboro Zoo to see Allie and her twins Nathan and James (Nathan has the blue vest and James has the tan vest on). The boys are adorable and great kids. I don't know how Allie does it. Talk about busy! The boys love to crawl around and get into everything! We lasted about 4 hours and then everyone was ready for a nap so we headed home in the early afternoon.

Sunday was a nice brisk fall day so we bundled the kids up and headed out to the backyard. Gwennie trudged around the yard looking for sticks and anything else she could find. Hudson loves to check things out in the Bjorn and as you can see from the pictures Daddy was sporting a "scruffy" look that day.

Today was a BIG day in potty training! During the day Gwennie is a rock star with doing her "business" in the potty but typically that all goes out the window so she's in a pull up. This morning Gwennie woke up, told us she wanted to go potty and behold...dry diaper, full potty and happy parents!!!!

4 Months old, Toy Story in 3D and Zoo with the Cousins

Big week here at the Meek household! Hudson is now a 4 month old baby and healthy as can be. He's growing like a weed and is starting to teethe which has made for lots of drool and chewing on anything he can find.

Gwennie and I headed to the movies for the first time to see Toy Story and Toy Story 2 in 3D. For a first time move goer she did great! We made it through 3/4 of Toy Story 2 and then Gwennie was ready to head home for a long nap!

Sunday we decided we needed to get out so we all piled into the car and headed down to Columbia for a day at the zoo with Uncle Russ, Aunt Gini and Blyth (Alex was at Grandma's for the weekend).

Overall it was a fun weekend!!

Visit with Nina and Megan!

This weekend Nina and Megan came up to do a little shopping and stopped by for a visit. Gwennie literally could not stop moving and for 3 days now she keeps asking where they are! We also went solo without Corbin for 2 nights while he, Russ and Wheels headed to the Widespread Panic concert. As you can see from the pictures, Gwennie enjoyed her nightly ice cream and made a huge mess but thoroughly enjoyed herself! Hudson also is moving and a shaking! He's figured out how to turn over on to his stomach but once he gets there he doesn't know what to do! Here's a few pictures of the weekend and a video of Hudson showing off.
