This year was our second hitting the pumpkin patch with Dane's cousin Sophie, Uncle Brian and Aunt Jeannie. We thought this would be a nice annual tradition for us. We went to Hodges Farm, which I wouldn't recommend, but we still had fun.

Pumpkin Patch
Of course, Blogger isn't cooperating now. So the pics will look a little different than the usual way we lay them out. Enjoy.

Weekend Wrap-Up
Our weekend was fantastic. We had our walk for March of Dimes on Saturday, where we marched along with more than 7500 walkers, committed to see all babies be born healthy. Dane was an absolute angel, napping and enjoying the long walk in the fresh air. After the 3.5 mile walk, center city broke out into a party. There were refreshments, children's cartoon celebrities, and dancing in the streets. Dane was offered (and quickly rejected) a frozen treat. Hmmm... Did someone tell him it was 100% fruit?...
And on Sunday we played hooky from church and spent the majority of daylight at Nana and Papaw's. We had a nice supper with them, Uncle Marcus and Aunt Trina, Heather, Uncle Brian, Aunt Jeannie and Sophie. We brought toys expecting that Dane and Sophie would play, and play they did! They are so stinkin' cute together, but sooo mobile! I believe they sufficiently blew off steam and once home, Dane went straight to bed and slept perfectly through the night. We dumdums didn't think to take pictures of them playing but if Heather would graciously send pics our way, we would post them. For now, these horse pictures of the babes will have to settle your photo-fix. Yes, the horses are Nana's, whose house has become something of a petting zoo. =)

Weekend Wrap-Up
What a weekend on our end! We tried to take it easy Friday, knowing the madness the rest of the rest of the weekend promised. Saturday we ran errands and went to Cole's 2nd birthday party. It was pretty much how you would imagine celebrating a nephew's second birthday. We're glad to be out of the Spicer kid's "birthday season" (January - April a kid a month has a birthday (Emily is the oddball, born way in September)). 
Sunday afternoon we spent at Brian, Jeannie's to celebrate Easter and Sophie's first birthday. She got a slew of terrific gifts but her spirits were a little dampened by the seemingly nonstop buckets of sickness pouring from her. We all enjoyed the festivities and Dane was a champ for having had such an exhausting day. We discovered how severe his little baby seasonal allergies can be and he was a dripping mess. It was great to spend time with Brian, Jeannie, her parents, Sophie, Cindy, Larry, Marcus, Trina, Mike, Joanne, and Heather among a few other guests of Sophie's.

Sunday morning we resisted the urge to sleep in and hurriedly got ready for the 10 o'clock Easter service (one of 10 services!) at Elevation. We had to sit in the overflow section because the auditorium was full. We worshipped with 7800 of our closest friends and family and we rejoice that 740 lives were given to the Lord. Hallelujah! The sermon is up to view online already, so if you didn't catch it check it out.
Hope you got your card. Happy Easter to you and yours.

Two Birthdays in One Post
This is going to be a big weekend for us. In two days we'll have to make it to 2 birthday parties, Easter celebrations and church. Dane is sure to be exhausted. In case you're curious, he'll be partying with:
Cole - Cole is 2 years old on the 10th. He's finally talking more and crying less. Cole wouldn't look at Dane when he was born and Cole's parents were hit hard with ugly looks if they dared to hold him. Now, Cole is Dane's biggest fan. He shares, talks, and plays with him and tries his very best to protect him. He doesn't get that Dane is getting bigger and is able to do more. Cole follows him around with arms outstretched in case Dane falls. When Dane cruises on things, Cole chimes his "Uh-Oh" alarm and glances from Dane to the closest adult, sure that something needs to be done. Dane thinks of Cole as nothing more than a nuisance right now, but some day he'll be lucky to have such a loving cousin.
Sophie - Sophie is going to be a whole year old on the 11th and she is definitely a big girl! You might experience some sort of gravity jet lag when you go from holding her to Dane, as Sophie now weighs quite a bit more than he. She is only a few months older, so it's always fun to see them together, especially now that they have become very sociable with other little ones. She is a pretty mellow baby like Dane is (at least that's what we see!) and just as curious. Even though (or maybe especially because) Dane is so close in age to Sophie, it is nearly unbelievable to us that she is going to be a year old.
We're wishing very happy birthdays to Cole and Sophie and many more to come for the both of them. We love you guys!

Weekend Wrap-Up
A smorgasbord of fun.
- Dinner with Gramps and Granny K: all-we-could-eat chicken and barbecue for the biggins and all Mommy-would-let-him-eat cornbread for Baby Dane (and man, can he eat it!).
- Daddy and Me story time at the library.
- A leisurely trip to the park for a long walk and a fast swing.
- A fabulous church service that Dane almost sat through peacefully (but he did great in E-Kidz and made a new best friend who fed him Cheerios on command).
- And a belated birthday bash with Sophie, Uncle Brian, Aunt Jeannie, Uncle Marcus, Aunt Trina, and Nana.
Here's a few pics just because.

Christmas Edition

Weekend Wrap-Up
Thanksgiving has come and gone and we are geared up for Christmas. Here's a few words about Turkey Day before this blog becomes entirely about Christmas.
We went to Uncle Brian and Aunt Jeannie's in the morning. Sophie is really getting to be something. She gets cuter by the minute and she's definitely got spunk. I think we'll all be in for it when she and Dane start getting into stuff together. Dane was surprisingly mellow there, and for the rest of the day actually. Maybe he was just out of his element.
We next headed to Aunt Jenny's. It was pretty much a fiasco with a million kids in the (HOT) house and adults running in between trying to set things up. Dane did NOT have Mountain Dew (despite that it was diet. Somehow that makes it better for infants? No.), but this is why you may see a post soon about how WE are not feeding OUR child food yet. By the way, Danny and Bobby were both sick this weekend, Jen. Did you poison the turkey? I'm suspecting fowl play...
And then Jackie broke out at 3am to get in line at Wal-Mart for the sale. Her hurdling shopping carts and aisle navigational skills would have made you proud. She got what she wanted, then went home to find Danny desperate for the sleep he'd lost while Dane kept him up all night. Maybe someday, Danny.
That was Thanksgiving. It was fine. Now can we move on to Christmas already?!

Weekend Wrap-Up
What a fun weekend we all had full of Fall festivities. Saturday we trekked out to Derita Presbyterian Church to meet Granny K for a festival. Dane didn't partake in the activities, but he very much enjoyed being out in the nice weather and spending time with (and being shown off by) his grandma.
He was definitely a hit.
Sunday afternoon we met some family at a farm for some Fall fun.

Dane had so much fun visiting the animals in the petting zoo...
and riding on the hayride...
And playing with Sophie in the pumpkin patch. 
It was a long day for him and he was a trooper. He slept really great after such a big weekend!
And today we'd would like to wish Aunt Jenny a very happy birthday. You've already done so much for Dane
and we love and appreciate you every day.
So Happy Birthday Aunt Jenny. 7 years and you'll be 40. =)

Weekend Wrap-Up
Saturday we had lunch with Nana & Papaw and Uncle Brian & Sophie. It was the first time Dane and his cousin Sophie, only a few months older, got to play. I think we all really enjoyed it.
Later we took Dane to his first Fall Festival at Mint Hill Baptist Church. Our nieces, Emily and Katie, were working it with their Girl Scout troops (they did a great job, by the way). After Dane threw back a couple of candy apples, he jumped for a while in the moon bounce, pet the goats and bunnies in the petting zoo, and ended the day with a pony ride.
