Family Christmas card 2011
2011final

I have to thank my friend, Susan, again for the photos of us. She did mine and I did hers. It was an incredible blessing and an early Christmas present for me!

thanksgiving :: part I

Here are a few glimpses of our Thanksgiving with G.K. and Grandpa.
We enjoyed yummy food and a peaceful day (as peaceful as children can be).

G.K. saved many toys from when Adam and Amy were young (and some from when she was little).  Our kids love playing with all of her little collections.  She inspires me with what she set aside and saved.  She kept some wonderful toys that the kids play with for hours.

Tom and I love to play with our cameras.  They shared some pictures from his camera.  So, I'm actually in a few pictures!

Our dinner: turkey, dressing, gravy, mashed potatoes, butternut squash, green beans, homemade rolls, and pies.  I chuckled as we put our classy Tetco sodas on the table...we are cool like that!

We enjoyed celebrating with the Box family.  After a two-year process they brought their son, Enock, home from Uganda today.  It was wonderful getting to love on 2 little Box boys tonight!

halloween 2011

Hope you are ready for some pictures!  I posted a few. :)  I'm sitting here playing around with Halloween photos & listening to the Harry Potter Pandora station...yep, I'm that geeky.

FINAL PREPARATION

THE PRINCESS PIRATE

EACH OF MY GIRLS...has worn this costume at age 3.  This costume has had a good Halloween life.

MORE PRINCESS THAN PIRATE...I think.

SHE LOST HER FIRST TOOTH TODAY AT SCHOOL!

ANOTHER SILLY KID.

HER COSTUME...deserves an entire blog post to itself!  She was a toy store and this costume proves 2 things about our parenting:
1.  We are not stifling this child's creativity.
2.  We are raising her to contribute to the "Keep Austin Weird" culture. ;)
Another funny thing about this costume idea of hers was we weren't sure if she was going to try and make some money on Halloween night.  We would not put it past her.  She's has entrepreneurial gifts.  She didn't try any funny business, but wouldn't have been surprised...

TRICK OR TREATING

ADAM'S ANGRY BIRDS JACK-O-LANTERN...the children & teenagers in the neighborhood were impressed!

ONE MORE THING...I have to mention that this costume was quite uncomfortable.  She made it for a little while...
...and then she was on to Phase 2 - a princess dress.  I love the photo with all 3.  The Toy Store makes me giggle...I love that kid so much!

SORTING.  BEST PART.

Such a fun night.  My mom made us tacos.  Adam took the girls out trick or treating and I sat on the front porch with mom.  We handed out candy a little and talked a lot.

Here is a glimpse of one of our fall mornings last week.
The little one turning on her own nebulizer because of those crazy allergies.  She sits here happy because Curious George is on the tv.

I'm fascinated with the morning light on our favorite chair, of course.

The girls were funny about seeing the camera out.  It had been a long time for them.  They were almost happy to see it.  I am sure I was smiling while getting a picture of these two.  They can be sweet sisters to each other?  It will always be nice to see.  Actually these two are very close right now.

pumpkin day

Saturday, October 22, 2011

We enjoyed our day at the farm yesterday.  The 1st graders at our school had a field trip.  Fun with friends - for them.  A few pumpkin pictures - for me.  I'm already laughing at the pose my 3 yr. old had.  I think her new haircut and her boots made her a little more confident for the camera.
