Happy Birthday Quentin!

Bringing cookies for my friends at school!
I cannot believe it but we have a three year old on our hands.  It was around 9:30 in the morning that we headed off to the hospital on a Thanksgiving Saturday to have our first born.  We can't believe it's been 3 years already.  He can talk, run, jump, skip, ride a bike, he's lived in two states, taken more plane trips in 3 years than half the population does in a life time and still, I mean still he doesn't sleep through the night.  He hasn't made it one night yet since moving back to the sunshine state.  He's Quinny, baby!  He didn't sleep all that great last night because he was so excited to wake up and have a special birthday breakfast of pancakes, muffins and COOKIES!  We told him he could take the cookies to school. Here is a picture of how excited he was to do that.  He's so cute and can't wait to come home to his Lightning McQueen cake with Tow Mater as his trusty side kick.  And PRESENTS!
A quick side bar to tell you how much he enjoyed Thanksgiving dinner.  He has his plate full of food and mom asks him what he likes best.  His reply, "I like that, I like that, I like that, I like that, I like that and I like that."  He officially pointed to everything on this plate and deemed it his favorite.  So easy to please!

2nd Birthday!

Carrie's parents, Poppa and Nana, flew in last night much delayed due to mechanical issues. They needed a new cockpit seat.  I suppose that's important.  We didn't get back to the house until after 12:30 am so no one got any sleep.  Of course this is our house, so that's par for the course.  We should have more family coming over to help celebrate with cousin Rachel and Aunt Peg with possibly a few more cousins in tow.  Last time Q saw Aunt Peg he would snort like a pig every time someone said her name.  He has a much better grasp of his venacular today from that stage.
 
We're very proud of him.  I am going to post some pictures here of the last year of Q and then I'll add another post with some pictures of the celebration.

I will get back to blogging!  I promise.  We moved and then the renters sort of trashed the place.  It wasn't physically damaged with holes and such but they smoked and I mean chiefed em' down like it was an Olympic event.  That has caused us to do an enormous amount of cleaning and painting.  Add children of ages 1 and 3 and you get very little free time.  We painted the master bedroom Sunday and finished around 10:30 pm and then realized we couldn't sleep in the room.  Ha!  Not really thinking things through.  At any rate we'll get back to blogging.  Since being back we've installed an attic floor (storage - hurray!), painted Gavin's room, the master bedroom, the master bath, got the Christmas lights decorated outside, the tree up, done some much needed yard work, went to Disney World (kids are free until age 3 so we snuck that one in by about 10 days) and hung curtains like a real house!  I'll get more posts I promise so check back.  I am committing to a minimum of 2 posts a week for the foreseeable future.  I'll get another one out tomorrow with birthday pics!
