Enjoying the cooler weather.

Beautiful fall day crusing the west side bike path.

Winter will be here before I know it.

Still not sure about the swings.

Just had a big therapy session.

I love to lick this toy during therapy. Sometimes I get
so crazy with it they have to take it away.

FEED ME!

Cute video of how Shane let's us know he really likes what he's eating. At least that is how we interpret it!

BRUNSWICK STEW EXTRAVAGANZA!!!

What is Brunswick stew you ask?? Well, we just happened to find out for ourselves this weekend after a quick trip to Richmond. Fellow northerners can relate...It's a southern dish! Picture this...a giant witch's cauldron set back in the woods with 40 lbs of chicken, 50 lbs of potatoes (which we helped peel), 30 some cans of corn, countless costco size cans of crushed tomoatoes, butter beans (another southern fave), chicken hearts(blah), chicken gizzards (double blah) and whatever random bug or 3 happened to fall in the pot as no less than 2 people stood over the stew stirring with a wooden oar for approximately 5 hours. Oh, and water of course. As for the hearts and gizzards, we were told not to worry. They dissolve to the point you don't know their in there. Yum! The result... an evening of food and drinks to feed at least 150 with leftovers. Now maybe this is not typical of your Brunswick Stew Fests, but what about the Glover's is typical. It was quite a night. Oh yeah, I left out the 4 kegs and port-o-potty. These men are of no relation to Michelle Glover

Did you think I was lying?

What brunswick stew would be complete w/o a pick-up and cowboy hat?

1st Birthday Celebration.

Everyone warned us how quickly time would fly when you have kids and they were not kidding. We can't believe that we just had Shane's first birthday celebration. He was a bit confused by the candle and was not interested in giving the cupcake a taste, but Mom & Dad had fun playing their role. Sorry all of that only made it to video but Shane did have a little carrot cake celebration with his best buddy Nolan who is only 5 days younger. We look back at pictures of his first year and never remember him being so small. 11 pounds sounds like a feather now! Celebrating at home with Mom & Dad

I really liked this card.

End of Summer

October already? Well summer didn't turn out too badly after all. A few weekend getaways to the Hamptons and Long Beach, LI made it bearable. And we spent the last bit of summer at our condos in NC with family and really lucked out when Ike decided to change directions. Sorry Texas! Despite the chaos of 7 kids age 5 and under (8th is on the way thanks to my fertile sister) and 9 adults, we really had a blast. It seems Fall is on the verge of breaking through so we can finally get out for some long stoller rides. Heat and Shane do not mix well - we have a sweater on our hands!! Again, who's child is this??? Enjoy and stay tuned for 1st b-day pics.
