Happy Thanksgiving

From our madhouse to yours...

Chef Tommy's Thanksgiving Dinner

Kara was making corn casserole as one of our Thanksgiving side dishes. As usual Tommy wanted to help. After he made a mess, he started cleaning up by licking the counter. Tommy you make me proud! Hopefully the health inspector never drops in on the Cullen Family kitchen. We'd get shut down

More AJ pictures

Here are some pictures from this past weekend. It's hard to believe he is almost 2 weeks old already! AJ is still doing great, let's hope it lasts!

Brothers

Here is a video we took when we brought AJ home.

AJ at home!

Here are few pictures from the past week. We are all adjusting great to life at home. AJ is pretty laid back and Tommy is being a great big brother. AJ is a great eater and a pretty good sleeper, let's hope that all sticks!

Introducing AJ Cullen

Andrew Joseph Cullen was born 11/12/09 at 11:37 and weighed in at 7 pounds, 6 ounces. He is the spitting image of his older brother

AJ opened his eyes up a little bit to we tried to catch some video. A lot more to come when we get home with a decent internet connection.

Last Post for a Few Days

This will be the last post for a few days. We will hopefully be going to the hospital tomorrow to get this baby delivered! I've had some complications due to high blood pressure starting about two months ago and the doctor's believe it best to take the baby now rather than wait. It has taken a toll on me, I've noticed it within the past couple of weeks, so I'm ready for this. We can't wait to begin our lives now with our two boys. We are both so excited to meet the newest member of our family and can't wait to see Tommy as a big brother! Tommy is very excited to meet his little brother too. I told him yesterday that his brother will be here in a few days and he responded "ALRIGHT!" So keep us in your thoughts and prayers over the next couple of days and we'll keep everyone updated.

Leaf Day Fun!

The other day we went over to a friend's house to play in leaves. Tommy had a blast. He dove right into the leaf piles. This was such a great idea because living in a new sub-division we don't have leaves. Now, I don't mind this because I'm always the one doing the raking, so I don't miss that chore at all! All the kids ran around for well over 2 hours. Needless to say, all the kids took great naps that day!

Tommy loved throwing the leaves up in the air

Brady, Casey, and Tommy (my best attempt at getting a picture of the
three of them together!)

Again, my best attempt at a group shot of the kids!

Halloween

Okay, I know these are a few days late, but here are some pictures from Halloween. Tommy's friend, Siena, came trick or treating with us. They had a great time despite the cold temperatures. Siena was always so surprised that every house gave her candy!! Tommy just asked me the other day, "Mommy, when will it be Halloween again?"
