Making Citizens

That's right. Mark that 3 for me. Adam became an American citizen on September 8th. So including the boys, I am now responsible for adding 3 outstanding American citizens to our melting pot. Not that I'm proud or anything! :)

This has marked the end of a long, but worthwhile process, and we look forward to our new adventures as a bona fide American family!

Here are some pics from the day!

Baby's 1st Waffle House

Well, the summer has flown by and here we are on the brink of Fall! Hooray!

So what's been going on here are at PTM? James is now 3 months old! Wow! That flew by!

The UK Partridges had a lovely visit, and we spent some fun time in GaGa's pool.

But most recently, we had a visit from Uncle Pete which involved the big boys going to Brewgrass, our awesome, local beer and music festival. And the obligatory, day-after jaunt to Waffle House. It was James' first time, so pics were taken....

Another Partridge in the Peartree

Peartree Nation,

Apologies for the lack of blogs, as you can imagine, finding some free time with a vivacious two-year-old boy in the house isn't always easy! We do have some extra-special news to share, as our second son, James Edward Partridge, was born at 10.40am on Wednesday June 15th, 2011. James weighed 7lbs 110z and measured 20 inches long. Both mother and son have been doing great, and we expect to be back home tomorrow, Saturday June 18th.

Here are some photos of James' arrival, his visit from Nan West aka "Gaga", and the special moment when his best friend and older brother finally got to meet his brother, and shower him in hugs and kisses. John will be counting down the minutes till James gets home, and then the fun will REALLY begin!

Lots of Love,

Adam, Vicki, John and James

Big Boy and a Little Bean

Happy Holidays!

HOWL-o-ween!!!

Happy Halloween!

As I may have mentioned, this is my Favorite time of year! And we had a lot of fun celebrating with friends and family...

We started by remembering the spirits of all those we love who are no longer in this world...

Which included a Werewolves of London tribute to Grandpa John.

Then we gathered all the sweet, costumed kiddies together for Trick-Or-Treat around our neighborhood.

It was Super-Cute.

John still needed a little help figuring out just what to do, but he was sure to say 'Please' and 'Thank You' even if he couldn't quite work out 'Trick-Or-Treat' at each house.

Hope you are having as much fun as we are this Fall!

We went to England!!!

And I totally forgot to show you! Here are some highlights from our recent trip to the Motherland...
