The days, weeks and years keep going by and Eric made it to the ripe ol' age of 28 on November 16. He managed to get his walker and oxygen up to the kitchen table to eat a delicious birthday cake and open some gifts. Just kidding. About the oxygen, that is... I Honey, your like a fine wine, ya just keep better with age...
The last two Thanksgiving Holidays we have traveled up to New York City to hang out with my cousins, the Hills. This year we were lucky enough to have Sarah and Jonathon come see us in North Carolina. It was a ball! Ethan and Christian had the time of their lives playing together and watching Lightning McQueen. I totally wish I had a little clone of Christian around to play with Ethan constantly. Libby and Andrew mostly stared at each other, but got a little physical a couple times. Haha. The food was absolutely delicious. Thanks to the Hills experience, we brined the turkey...and I'll tell you what, it was amazing! Thanks for coming and hope to see you next year!
So last night a bunch of friends and I went to the midnight showing of New Moon here in Durham. It was a ball! It was pretty funny because, from what I could see, the theater was about half teenage girls, half housewives and two dudes. It was fun to be hangin' with girls, kid-free, in the middle of the night at a teenybopper movie. I got a kick out of the whole experience.As far as the movie, my opinion is that it was a 100% improvement from the first one. The first one was entertaining...and that's about all I had to say about it. But this one had better acting (except for Robert Pattinson, poor guy) better special effects, the actors looked better, it was funnier, etc. I just thought they took it up a notch. Loved Jacob.There was a drawback, however. I went to bed at 3AM, woke up around 7AM and have been crosser than I'll get out all day long. Was it worth it? Oh yeah!!
Here is where it all started over four years ago. And we're still alive to tell about it. (More importantly, I'm happy that I'm still alive to tell about it!)
Overheard: Libby, playing pretend with dolls: "I don't want to be a princess wife anymore! I'm gonna take this wedding ring and throw it in the garbage!" Natalie: Do I have a feminist on my hands?
Ethan, passing by restaurants in the car: "Mom, I miss fast food!"
Libby, playing pretend: Mom, what do Ollie and I need to do in order to be ninja pigs?"
Ethan: "I can't wait to go check outside to see if there is any new born snow!"
We are Eric and Natalie Pelfrey. We've been married for 7 years and we have a energetic little boy, Ethan (5), and a sweet and stubborn little girl, Libby (3) and a chunky, precious baby boy, Oliver (1). Eric is workin' his life away as an attorney in the Big D, and I am going crazy as mommy. We are very blessed and very happy!
