Not much to say other than "isn't he the cutest"?

Just some new pictures of Anders from yesterday & today...

Rooaarrr....

I LOVE my two boys...

I love seeing my two boys together and am SO thankful for them both. When watching Todd now as a father, I am continually impressed. He is an amazing dad. Anders has so much fun with him and Todd can get him to laugh & smile so easily! Also Todd has the patience to get Anders to sleep when he is fighting it hard...Anders gets that trait from his Daddy (who usually goes to bed in the wee hours of the morning, even though he could fall asleep earlier if he just laid his head down on the pillow and gave in).

Here are some pictures of my boys, oh and my sweet Bella dog...

Todd was re-mixing some of the live mixes from a Kellie Pickler show for CMT use and he was listening pretty loud. So I put Anders' earmuffs on him for the first time -- he didn't mind at all and doesn't he look so cool! I guess he's ready to go & watch a live concert now. Here he is working with his Daddy...

My smiley baby boy :)

So tonight, while feeding Anders his dinner of winter squash, we jammed out to the "A Walk To Remember" movie soundtrack (yes, that movie is kind of old, but it still is one of my FAVORITE soundtracks and Anders liked it too). Anders thought my singing along & dancing was quite amusing, so I just had to grab the camera and capture his sweet smiles...

Josh & Allie gave us this adorable boombox onesie for Anders -- he's SO cool. Allie is now pregnant and they just found out that she is having a baby boy too. We are SO EXCITED for them!

"Sunny day sweeping the clouds away"

Yesterday was UGLY, rainy, and cold. Today it was still cold, but the sun came thru and Anders and I got outside on the back deck for just a bit...

Hanging out as family this week

Todd was home and we had a great week of playing, running errands and the major accomplishment -- getting our taxes done!

Waking up Daddy after he had stayed up until 7am working hard to prepare our taxes...

Anders loves to stand up and he is very steady & strong. He can't pull himself up yet, but he tries so hard and is able to bounce up and down a little.

Swinging again & having fun!

Georgia last week

So I am a little behind on posting, but there were SO many pictures from our visit to Texas that I wanted everyone to look at them over & over and soak them in properly :)

Now to play catch up on the last week -- on Thursday morning Anders and I went down to Georgia to pick up Bella from Mom & Dad, who had been keeping her for over a week while we were away. It was the first time their "grandogger" came to stay and I was SO thankful for their help! Bella had so much fun hiking, wading thru streams, and chasing deer & squirrels. During our visit the weather was beautiful, so we went on hikes and shopped at the outlets!

Anders with Papa...

On Saturday Michael, Julie, and Haley came up to visit and play with Anders. We had so much fun with them just playing and hanging out -- Anders LOVES all three of them!

Anders & Haley playing and posing for some sweet pictures...

I think Anders is looking up at Haley here and thinking "I love you"...

It is a family Christmas tradition to get pictures of us sitting on the rocking horse, but since both Anders & Haley were sick this Christmas it didn't happen. So this is what it would have been like -- imagine the two dressed in red & green and a Christmas tree in the background. Also Anders probably wouldn't have been able to sit & hold on quite as well in December, but he has gotten so strong these past few months.

Haley feeding Anders his sweet potatoes :)

Anders is always happy and content on his Uncle Michael's lap...

This was an exciting event -- Haley had her FIRST s'more! Haley was so focused while eating her s'more that she wouldn't answer any questions or even look at us, I think she loved it! Anders liked holding the roasting stick, but didn't get to have his first s'more quite yet.

The mess was worth it!

I miss the Allen family already!

So we are back from Austin, TX and I already miss being with Beth, Daniel, Ryder & sweet Paisley -- I wish I could get them to move back to Nashville! We had a great time hanging out and carting three babies around while eating out and shopping. We spent a good bit of time feeding babies in cars, dressing rooms, a tour bus, and even an outdoor park area -- we are such brave women!

Eating Texas BBQ, so yummy...

Little photo shoot after eating Sunday brunch where I ate a DELICIOUS chile relleno...

Then later we had a SERIOUS photo shoot in Beth & Daniel's backyard, it was a BEAUTIFUL warm day. We got SO MANY great shots of Paisley in a pink outfit that Daniel's mother had worn when she was a baby.

My beautiful baby boy...

Look at them holding hands, just too sweet!

Then Anders got fresh and Paisley liked it :)

Best friends with the best babies EVER...

Babies becoming friends (kind of)...

Getting pictures of all three babies happy and smiling has not happened yet, actually getting just two of them to look at the camera and have slightly happy faces hasn't happened yet either. But we will keep trying!

Anders and Paisley hung out on the tour bus with Beth & me while Daniel & Ryder watched the Kellie Pickler concert with Todd. Ryder had so much fun watching the show, lights & mix console, he was quite excited when he got back to the bus. While the guys were gone, we sat the babies next to each other and Paisley immediately lunged toward Anders and started chewing on his arm and laughing. Anders DID NOT think it was so funny though.

Ryder decided that he was going to sit right behind Anders and play his guitar (we did not stage this). So we then thought we needed to get sweet Paisley in the picture too. Anders was holding her so well, but again we failed to get all three kiddos to look at the camera. Ryder was having a great time though!

Yesterday we got Anders & Ryder matching sunglasses, both boys really like wearing them. And this morning they had on their matching PJ's, so it seemed like the perfect time to wear the sunglasses too.
