Chocolate Face and Crazy Hair

We had a busy morning today. We went to MOPS and then had to head over to the cardiologist for Hampton's appointment. To appease Everett on the ride over to the doctor's office, I gave him a granola thin that had chocolate on one side. Maybe not the smartest idea, but I was in survival mode. This is the face that greeted me when we got there. So cute.


Thankfully, they both took longer naps. This is the bed head that greeted me this afternoon. Again, so cute.

P.S. I don't know how many, "Wow, you've got your hands full" I got at the doctor's office today. I guess I looked pitiful hauling around a baby and toddler that were having meltdowns. The cardiologist himself offered to assist me to the car. I gratefully refused, but I must have been a sight!

Antler Hill Village

Last Friday evening we went with our friends David, Sally Ann, and their little girl Abigail to Antler Hill Village at the Biltmore Estate. We visited the petting zoo and then had an evening picnic on the lawn.

Everett warmed up to them instantly and they brought a soccer ball for the little ones to play with. Everett had so much fun with that ball. We'll have to get him one for Christmas. He is surprisingly coordinated for a 2 year old.

They were all decorated for Christmas!

It ended up being really chilly as the evening progressed. We wrapped our babe in swaddling clothes.

Everett was a little afraid of the horses, but he seemed to like the other animals.
