Spooky-proofing

Every now and then, a baby might eat maple sugar puffs that make him smell like a pancake. And sometimes, that same pancake-smelling baby might have to wear Halloween pajamas in April because his Momma needs to do laundry. This very luck baby may also have a very clever Daddy who nicknames him the Spooky Pancake. Chase Bowen is this very lucky baby. Our son, the Spooky Pancake. Now affectionately shortened to Spooky.

The Spooky Pancake has made some serious advances in the last couple of weeks. He is now fully crawling...quickly and all over the place. This morning I discovered this...

We were in need of some serious Spooky-proofing. So, off to Target we went and returned armed with a variety of outlet covers, cabinet latches, and such.

Chase was very interested in what was going on....

He even tried to help Daddy.

Not quite sure he likes what is going on...

Now that our house is secure, Chase can crawl all over. And he is off...

Hope everyone is having a great weekend!

We are BACK....

Wow...what a couple of weeks! We are back to our normal routine somewhat and I finally have some time to update this blog and post some pictures.

We had a great Memorial Day barbecue at our house with a bunch of friends. Chase had a great time with his friends Taylor and Olivia. The adults got a little wild (okay, probably just me) after the kids went to sleep. All in all, except for one broken foot casuality, it was a great time! I have some great pictures to post, but have them on a different camera...coming soon.

And then it was time for Topsail Beach Week!! This was our second annual beach week and we couldn't have been more blessed with wonderful friends, beautiful weather, and lots and lots of fun and laughter! What an awesome week!

We kicked off the week by celebrating Chase's baptism.
