Welcome to the future.

I have finally joined this century as a proud iPhone owner. The best part about it?? Taking 15million photos of my sweet boy and family. Here are a few from our big week with family for Thanksgiving. 17 people under one roof provided numerous photo opps.

Dane, Did you know we live with a superhero? 

He works hard six days a week, but uses his super powers to make enough energy to play with you in the floor, take walks around the neighborhood and follow you while you explore the world on your wobbly legs. 

He knows every sports stat that has ever been recorded and keeps all of them stored in his brain for quick recall. You definitely want him on your team for Sports Scene-It and you'll have the best math tutor when you need one. 

He can even read minds! He knows what I'm going to say and finishes my sentences and he also knows me so well he can sense when I'm about to get into trouble. Like the other day when I almost cut my finger on the food processor again.

He drives us everywhere safely and he manages our budget like a Fortune 500 CFO. 

He takes us to church, prays for us and leads our family to make decisions that bring God the most glory. 

Yep, not only is our daddy the greatest daddy in the history of the universe, I'm pretty sure he's a superhero too!

Happy First Father's Day, Dada! We love You! 
Love,
Mommy and Dane

Thanksgiving: Round 2

Isn't a little ironic that I feel busier (and my house is waaaaay dirtier) than when I was working full time?! I don't get it! We've been living life at 90mph lately and taking lots of photos. :)

We had a wonderful time visiting with my family for Thanksgiving. We ate some good food, celebrated mom and dad's 27th wedding anniversary, spent a great morning having breakfast in my sister and brother-in-law's new home and decorated the Pruitt Family Christmas Tree. Enough talking- pictures are better.

Our table setting...

cutest turkey ever! :)

 

snuggles with Papa

the newlyweds

I can't take enough pictures of him.

"Uh, Papa, your hat's a little big even on my melon head."

Chase holding Brynn and Ryan's new puppy, Bigsby (the name is still under debate, I think)

There is too much cuteness here.

Dad has an awesome super- fancy Canon camera... that my sister doesn't know how to work. Here I am trying to talk her through how to use it so we can get a family photo at dinner.

So if we can crop out my goofy face in the above pic and merge in Tev's cute smile, we might have a good photo... ugh.

Celebrating 27 beautiful years of marriage with Dinner at the Speedway Club.

Finally! A family photo... aaaaand, the baby is asleep.

More to come. The photos on the super-fancy camera are HUGE files and take a while to download. If only there were 25 hours in a day... or my baby slept through the night.

Thanksgiving: Round 1

We've been busy around here! This little man changes almost daily and is sooooo much fun! My mom's dear friend send him a beautiful knitted blanket and, of course, we had to do a "thank you" photo shoot.

OH, don't those blue eyes just make you want to melt! Dane is inching closer to sitting up on his own. Right now he does really when he's propped on his boppy or the couch. Tell me his face doesn't make you laugh out loud!

We can't sit for too long though. It's a lot of work!

Papa J, Granna and Uncle Chase came in for a quick visit to tide them over until Thanksgiving. We had a great time playing with them while they were here.

 Uncle Chase was holed up in Dane's room playing video games...

 Papa J stole lots of snuggles. :)

Granna loves to play with the Boy. 

We enjoyed an early Thanksgiving with Dane's Poppa T and Gran Gooden. We ate too much and took some good naps. :)

Sorry, Auntie Meg and Uncle Jess! At least it's not on facebook! Dane got to spend an evening with his Poppa and Gran while Mommy and Daddy went on their first date in months!! Even though it was just out to dinner and running some errands we had the best time together. I'm so blessed to have married my best friend.

 After a morning walk... our poor effort to work off some of delicious food we ate!

 Dane spending time with his Grammy Sherry.

Here he is snuggled up with his Gran, taking a much needed nap. I assume he's starting to get some teeth. For a baby who doesn't cry and is always in a good mood, he's been fussing and upset a lot lately. If this is teething.... IT STINKS! I hope those nasty things come through quickly!

On our date night we ate dinner at Red Lobster and brought home the extra biscuits... Unfortunately, I forgot about them until we found Bingo in this predicament. Notice his food bowl in the background. The poor guy just couldn't help himself, I guess.

Dane and I enjoy the weekends because it always means there is plenty of time with Daddy.

We wrapped up a great weekend by going to church as a family and coming home to eat leftovers....

...and take a good Sunday afternoon nap. :) (HA! Sorry guys! It's too easy!)

This week we are off to North Carolina for Thanksgiving with Dane's Papa J and Granna. We also get to see Auntie B and Uncle Ryan's new house! More pictures to come, I'm sure!
