Election 101

Catherine ran for Vice President of her class, despite this lovely poster, an incredible speech and her general enthusiasm, she was not the victor. Still, I am very proud of her!

Football 2010

Catherine visits Kenan once a year and here is our annual visit. She went the first time at 2 years old, although Jake is 2, he was not invited this year. The boy cannot sit still. It was a fun day, beautiful fall weather and the Heels won (barely). Hope to be visiting one or both children in Chapel Hill someday, it is just an idyllic place.

Future Quarterback & Homecoming Queen???

My neighbor's son with Catherine, they have been friends since they both arrived on the earth, I just loved this photo. It almost physically hurts me to see that they are on the verge of being 7 and 8 years old. Time flies....

New Pictures

Worst Blogger in the world award....don't know if anyone will even take a moment to look at this. I am just so busy that I never do this! But, for me it is fun to go back and see old pictures of the kiddos - so I am going to try, try again.

All is well for the Pruitt's! Sweet little ones loved Halloween, for the most part. Jake was a little creeped out by the spookiness of the evening.

Happy Day

Had a great day with family and friends, so grateful for this time in life. Sweet husband, good kids and wonderful friends!!!

THANKS!

Catherineisms

Just pulled out the iron, Catherine says, "Mom, why do you have an ironing machine if you don't iron." GREAT QUESTION!

****************************************************************************

Last night...Catherine says, "You know I broke up with Sam at the start of the year." I say,"Yeah, I know, what about Wilson."

Catherine, "Well, I am done with Wilson now."

Me, "OH."

Catherine, "Now it is me and Adam."

Me, "My goodness Catherine, three boys in one year of kindergarten."

Catherine, "Well, you know it is just the life cycle of boys."

CRACKED ME UP!!! Hope she always has this healthy of an attitude about relationships!

Horsing Around

Catherine is loving taking horse back riding and I am so proud of her. She is dedicated and enthused about riding, lots of fun. We took her to see Cavalia, see link below:

She was thrilled by this show, and I was awed by it!

Jake's Progression

Sorry so long since I wrote. We had the furniture market, which was very busy and then lots of follow up! Everything is going great, work is picking up, which is fantastic!

Here's a vignette from our home today:

This afternoon, Jake squats down in front of me and says to me, "Mama, Poop."

I said, "Are you pooping Jake?"

Jake says, "Yeah, Mama."

I say, "You want to go poop on the potty?"

Jake says, "No, mama!!!"

Proceeds to do his business in his pants, but he is starting to get it!

The whole thing spells progress.

Riding on the boat

Even though Catherine still has a weird fear of the boat, Jake loves it. Here is a picture of a lovely boat ride. Jake wanted to DRIVE THE BOAT!!!
