Happy Anniversary!

November marks Dr. Jones's 20th anniversary since the opening of his practice in Atlanta. His sweet office staff sent out letters to some of his patients (pediatrics) asking us to help them make this special day memorable. They wanted pictures of our kids with Dr. Jones, notes, funny thoughts or silly drawings of ears or Dr. Jones....whatever our little one wanted to contribute.

After I explained all of this to Nathan, my little artist got to work. He worked so hard on his picture and is oh so very proud. I have added a picture of his "masterpiece" hope you like it, I thought he did a great job. Notice the ear on the operating table....this is supposed to be Nathan's new ear before Dr. Jones "put it on him". So this beautiful piece of art and a few pics we took of Nathan and Dr. Jones are on their way to Atlanta to be included in an honorary piece that will be displayed at his office. How cool is that?!?!?!? It will be so neat to see it on display when we go back in December for surgery #3.

Speaking of Nathan's ear............I have a funny story to share. Nathan went last Friday to get his hair cut (now remember, this isn't the first time he has had his hair cut since his surgeries, so where this came from I don't know) by our wonderful hair dresser Chris. As Chris was working on Nathan's hair, they were chatting about normal everyday stuff. As Chris moved to the right side of Nate's head to start trimming up that side Nathan quickly interrupted and with the most serious tone and expression said............"Be careful cutting by my ear, I just got it!". I thought Chris and I were going to roll on the ground laughing. Got to love a child's honesty! And I'm glad to know Nathan is going to be protective of that ear :)

A Little Trick and A Little Treat!!!

Halloween has come and gone and my little spider and Spiderman are sad the festivities are over but not before I share some pictures. The boys loved their costumes this year. They would probably wear them everyday if I would let them. As you will see I didn't get a single pic of Nathan without that stinkin' mask on. Oh well, at least I know it's him and not someone else in the pics.

"Let's GO MOM!!!!!!

All the cousins!!

Making our way around the neighborhood. They would have trick or treated all night and into the next day if we would have let them.

"Let me see, which one do I want?"

**look close, I almost got a face shot of Nathan

Class Parties!!!

Just as everyone else's child in Auburn had a party this week to celebrate Halloween, SO DID WE!!! Wilson had his party on Thursday and it was hilarious seeing all of the little ones dressed up in there "mini" costumes. As you will soon see, Wilson was a spider -- this was to compliment his big brother's costume of Spiderman (pics of that to come in next post). Little Miss Stirling was a flapper girl, and might I say she was the cutest flapper girl I have ever seen.Heading to the party!!! Can you believe we got them to hold hands? :)

Some of our little class friends.

Mommy and her little spider. Only spider I will ever get close to :)

On Friday, Nathan's class had their party and beforehand they did a cute little performance for us. They did a "puppet" show based on the book Five Little Pumpkins. Nathan was the 5th pumpkin and said his line perfectly. So proud! After the performance, we made our way inside for the party.

Nate and Kaylin --sweet girl! They made their t-shirts in class, aren't they cute!?!?!?

Nate and his friend Pearson.

Jack-O-Lantern Time!!!

Since the day we got our pumpkins I have heard, "when are we going to carve them?", 100 times a day. So finally the week of Halloween is here and it is time to put some faces on those big ole punkins!!! Our daddy got home early yesterday so we all got to join in on the carving fun.

Working diligently to get the "guts" out.

Wilson actually helped for .............30 seconds :)

I LOVE A Costume Party!!!!!

This past weekend some really fun couples gave a Halloween Costume Party at Skybar. And might I say................IT WAS A BLAST!!!!! Every single person that was invited and walked through those doors was dressed up and some people went ALL OUT!!! There were the Twilight characters, smurfs, Cowboys and Indians, Michael Phelps (speedo and all), Octomom, Lady Gaga, Disco kings and queens, some girl scouts and boy scouts and don't let me forget Mr. T. ......I could go on forever. We went as Pebbles and Bam-Bam and our sweet friends the Nappiers were a 50's Prom King and Queen. Great job everyone involved and thanks for the invite. Hope this tradition continues :)
