Happy Halloween!!!

Happy Halloween everyone! This year we had lions and tigers at our house! Raaaaarr!!! We did the annual pumpkin carving at Yaya and Papa's house...

And we let Drake pick out the pumpkins this year (with a little help from dad...)

We also did Boo at the Zoo! Here is Drake on a little tiger at the tiger exhibit...

And our little tiger slept through it all!

Here is Drake after trick or treating with dad in our neighborhood. He totally had a blast and knew to knock on the doors by the end of the night :-)

And of course, we let him have some candy- his first halloween candy ever!

New Family Photos!

Here are our new family photos and Mr. Porter's baby pictures- We were lucky enough to have beautiful weather and a beautiful place to take pictures of our beautiful little family!

Around the House...

Here's Nick with his two boys....And Mr. Drake being a silly little turkey...
Here is Drake after a haircut playing outside, man does he LOVE being outside!

And Mr. Porter, sleeping through all of Drake's outdoor excitement...what a good little man!

More Family Photos

Here are a few more family photos that I thought were cute... But now we need to get new ones with Mr. Porter! :-)

Welcome Porter James Thompson!

I started having contractions on Friday 8/20 at 1:45 in the morning. We finally headed to the hospital and got there around 8:30. It took a while to get them to admit me, but finally- here we are! After 13 hours of labor, Porter finally decided to grace us with his beautiful presence. He is sooo perfect! He was 6 lbs. 13 ounces and 18 3/4 inches long.
Nick is one happy Daddy...

Here is Porter having his 1st bath at home

He is such a sweet little baby and is so good. Drake sure does like him too- he keeps kissing him on the head and pointing at him saying "bay-bay!" Oh how we love our two beautiful boys!

Family Photos July 2010

We decided it was time to get another family photo done, and at the same time get some pictures of my belly (aka Porter!). In these photos Drake is 13 months and I'm 34 weeks along. Hope you enjoy them, hopefully I will have a few more to post. You can't really tell but Drake has his little lets wrapped around my belly, that's why he's sitting so far away from me. Lol!
We were all getting a little tired by the time we took the outside photos and Drake was ready for a nap. What a trooper though!

My big ol' belly

Drake was so stinkin' cute!! He thought it was so funny that my belly was so big (he doesn't normally see me with it all out there).

He likes to give kisses now, but with his mouth wide open. So sweet!

My sweet little cherub...

Drake's 1st Birthday!!

Happy birthday Drake!! What a big boy!The pictures are a bit backwards in order of events, but here is Drake after eating his cake. You can see a little frosting still up his nose!
Mmmmmmm, cake!

Happy birthday son, you are such a joy and we love you!
