We Heart Charlotte!

Patrick and I went to visit KK and Matt in Charlotte in September! We had never been to visit and decided it would be a perfect time to go since the Kings of Leon were playing that weekend. We had a great time! KK and Matt's house is like walking through an issue of House Beautiful! It is decorated perfectly and we really wish we could have figured out a way to bring their three sofa sectional home with us. We definitely got to know it well over the weekend! We also became very familiar with all of the yummy local eateries around town. We ate at The Penguin and Dandelion Market; both of which were delicious and super cool. We became frequent visitors of a place called Amelie! It was in their neighborhood and open 24hrs. Probably one of the coolest coffee/pastry/lunch shops I have ever been to. One of the photos about is of Patrick and Matt ordering a coffee and chocolate filled croissant after attending the Public Enemy show on Sunday night. Oh yeah, forgot to mention that PE was there. We stayed an extra night just so Patrick and Matt could go to the show together. Luckily our two little white boys didn't get their booties kicked. They actually made buddies and when KK and I pulled into the parking lot to pick them up from the show Matt was in line for an autograph.

Anyway, It was a wonderful weekend with our wonderful friends. We can't wait to go back, spend another fun weekend there, and then help them drive a car back when they move home to Texas!

p.s. - don't ask about the cabinet photo! P broke it with his REI shorts....luckily it is fixed!

Christmas Came Early

One day, each month, the boys get a little taste of Christmas! It is the day when Patrick's car magazine arrive in the mail! Last month it was hilarious! We came home from the park, checked the mail and this is exactly what they did. They literally grabbed the magazines, sat down on the steps, and began combing through the pages calling out the names of cars. It was a great day at The Burdick House! We are anxiously awaiting this months issues.

Strawberry Shortcake

I made the boys strawberry shortcake for the first time a few weeks ago. They loved it and were such happy boys. Good thing they will take jello, applesauce, etc. for dessert usually. They haven't made this a habit just yet!

Playing Dress Up

The boys have become more and more interested in our clothes, my purses, shoes, etc. They love to get my purses out of the closet and walk around the house with them. Miles is hilarious! He will say, "bye bye" and you ask him where he is going. He replies, "Going to HEB". Then he will give you a grocery list of things he is going to buy. Always the same items...bananas, strawberries, yogurt, cheese, etc. The other week they decided to try on Patrick's work shirt and my hat. Oliver looks pretty darn cute in the top picture. Miles is the next one down. Then Oliver had an idea. Why not put on Daddy's boxer shorts and then accessorize with Mommy's underwear around his neck. I just had to share....too funny not to. What will they think of next!?

Galveston Fun

It is so hard to believe that it is already the end of September! Where did the summer go? We enjoyed quite a few day trips down to Galveston this summer. The boys love playing in the sand and have warmed up to the ocean a lot! They love the waves and going out deep with Daddy. We made some good memories this summer and I look forward to more visits to good old Galveston.
