Our 6th Anniversary!

It was a pretty low-key kind of anniversary but the three of us had a great day together! We went out to a new Mexican restaurant that was very yummy and to see the winter lights at the Maryland State Park. Wyatt thought he was extra cool getting to be out of his car seat and ride in Daddy's lap to view the lights...

Getting a little sleepy during the ride there...

But the bright lights woke Wy guy up in a hurry!

I think this was my very favorite anniversary yet even though we didn't actually get a "date night"! : )

Christmas Day!

It was truly a WHITE Christmas this year! Wyatt loves the 'white stuff!'

Showing off his new jammies from Grandma and Grandpa

Playing with his trash truck... Thanks Uncle Jay and Aunt Jenn

Discovering his new train set... A little boy's dream. It was priceless to watch Wy's face light up when he saw this all set up!

Daddy's little helper. Wyatt loves his new workbench...Thanks Mimi and Poppy!

He's been busy "fixing" everything

And he got a marker board from Uncle John and Aunt Sandy (who he's excited to someday meet!). Wyatt is quite the little artist. He LOVES to color!!!

21-Months!

21-Months-Old

Wyatt is only 3 months away from turning TWO! How can this be? It has been a very FULL month. Wy guy has been such a trooper with all of the changes that have taken place this past month. He is in a very FAST PACE kind of stage right now and I feel like I'm chasing him around and disciplining ALL day long. : ( But I know it's worth it in the long run. Have I mentioned how exhausting it is to have an almost-two-year-old little rascal? It's very exhausting and making me feel old before I even hit 30! : ) But I'm loving every minute of my role as 'mommy' and can't think of another job I'd rather have... Although it's definitely the hardest, it's by far the most rewarding as well! I'm very blessed... Wyatt has such a FUN personality and he brings us tons of laughter along with plenty of new frustration each day. We're growing and learning together. The Lord is refining my heart and character daily and He uses Wyatt to teach me so many lessons about myself!

Here are a few of Wyatt's picture poses...

Daddy is still Wyatt's favorite buddy. He gets so excited to see Daddy each evening and immediately wants a "ride". Wyatt loves to TALK on the phone. It's very hard for me to have a conversation b/c Wy guy reaches for the phone and says, "Talk, talk!"Poor Gabbi puts up with a whole lot of lovin' from Wyatt

I might have to find a different spot for my jewelry box because Wyatt loves to try it all on.

Yep, he's figured out the baby gates. I though they were supposed to be child-proof. He is just too smart...

Wy loves to build forts out of the couch cushions.

He likes to eat his cereal out of a mixing bowl for some silly reason.

Finger in the nose... That's the stage we're in too.

He keeps me very busy... He's always on top of or inside of something.

Here's a glance at the second round and LAST of our moving boxes right before they got picked up and carried OUT of our dining room!!! Hooray! It has been a very long process but we're finally through all of the boxes from inside the house. Now we'll have to tackle the garage come Spring...

Tis the Season

We are gearing up for CHRISTMAS in the McCulley household (although 60 degree weather doesn't exactly feel like Christmas time. But we'll take it!) Wyatt loves to be outdoors so we're soaking up the season on our new deck and in our back yard! Joe got Wyatt ready for church on Sunday and coordinated their outfits so cute--Mommy was impressed! : )

Happy Thanksgiving!
