ICE

A record high outside, and lines too long for little friends but once we were inside it felt like the holidays were finally here!

"Cheetah Ballerina"

Everyone asked our sweet princess what she was going to be for Halloween and all were given the same response "Cheetah Ballerina". Some would give the confused look, others would hear ballerina and respond how sweet, but no one really understood. Here is our "Cheetah Ballerina" she picked the costume in a store well before October and named it herself. Please be sure to note her lip gloss in the close up picture, it was our compromise so she would let me paint on the nose and wiskers. She was the sweetest cheetah (despite her scary pose)to share all her candy with big brother except the ring pop-since it was for girls:)

A Homerun Halloween

We had a very special Halloween-to be a part of history. The original plan was to be a soldier so we stuck with that plan just changed the location from neighborhood trick or treating to the World Series. We may have lost the game but our soldier was on the "big screen" during the game, he got to see George W. (and George Sr.)throw out the first pitch, and ofcourse there was a bucket of candy waiting at home. Go Rangers!

First day of School

We have had our first full week of school, it is already apparent that our Saturdays will be more cherished than before! His week went great. He has a wonderful teacher and has already made a few friends in his classroom. Mom and Dad are certain to have already been labeled as the "over the top parents". In only six days, we have done cupcakes for the class, made copies for the teacher, traded emails with the principal about a new program, and brought in tissues from Sams since the teacher was short for the classroom:)
Little Miss started today, she has big brother's old teachers (boy are they in for a suprise..). Her class is located in the center of the school hallway and as her father's child she worked the hall this morning like a politician. She gave hugs,waves, and hellos to kids from summer, from last year, from church, etc. I could hardly get her still for a picture.

Happy Birthday Slugger

Sunrise pictures

We have always made a point to watch the sunrise on our last morning with all our beach trips, the incredible beauty and peace it provides is something that pictures can not describe. Our last day of this trip with two little ones in tow did not get us across to the sand by sunrise however we still made an early trip over and took pictures of the most beautiful and precious things in our lives.

He loved the water and she loved the sand... we all loved the change of pace:)
