Pumpkin Patch

-




We had a really nice weekend. Friday started off badly with another fever illness for Davis, but he quickly recovered. That afternoon we dashed off to San Marcos to visit Mom and Dad and check out the progress on our new house.
Saturday morning we went to the Farmer's market and ran into our friends Will and Kalyn and Jackson. That afternoon we headed to Target to buy three more Lightning McQueen cars since Davis is obsessed and we had to have some back-ups. Saturday night we went to the CASA's 4th Annual Fundraising Event. The whole family was there as well as our friends and we drank wine and danced and laughed and left the kids home with a sitter. It was nice.
Sunday we headed to the Pumpkin Patch in Marble Falls at the Sweetberry Farm's Fall Festival. I had sent out an email asking everybody to join us there and several people accepted. It was so fun! Katie and Soren met us at Rudy's Barbecue for a quick lunch and then we caravaned up to the Farm. Annie and David and Hosea were waiting there as were our new friends Christine, Jeff, Cassidy and Carter. Soon my sister, Tiffany arrived with my nephew Kade. Annie had bought us tickets to the hayride and Davis was so excited! He loves tractors almost as much as Lightning McQueen. We stood in line while the kids fed the goats. At the last moment my parents arrived with Lilianna! We all hopped abourd the hay ride. Davis was beside himself with joy. We also had homemade ice cream and took lots of pictures. We would have stayed longer, but the heat was awful! How can it be so hot in October? Sigh. Stupid Texas. Stupid Arizona for that matter. Michael and I were talking about how we've had Summer weather basically since we left for Arizona in January. We are ready for some cold weather!
Anyway, I uploaded the most recent pics up to flickr and you can check them out. Michael left this morning at 5:30Am to spend the week working in Dallas. We'll miss him. If you're in town, give me a call this week! We'll be looking for fun things to do. Love, A

New Roof

We have a new roof. Our tile roof was supposed to last a lifetime, but it was put on incorrectly and so we've been fighting leaks ever since we moved in. We had some bids offered on both a new tile roof or on several different types of metal. We chose a metal roof because I grew up with a metal roof and loved it and because it was less expensive than the tile. It took the crew seven working days to take off the tile and put up the new roof. They did a great job and we really love it. We were worried at first that it wouldn't be as beautiful, but we really do like it. Now I want to repaint the front door though.

New Directions/New Blog

-
The times, they are a'changing. I think it might be time to start something new. I have the idea that I want to start a new travel website/blog. I want it to be fancy and pretty. It will be a place to focus all my travel obsession/passion. I will blog our trips there and talk about travel with children. I will post when I find places that I want to travel to and I will post when I find great travel deals. I will talk about the points game too. I want to talk about Generational Travel. I want to talk about traveling with small children, but I also want to talk about how it is to travel with my dad and my grandparents. I haven't been able to find any websites out there that talk about travel with alzheimers and I think it would be helpful to some people. Katie already told me she'd help with my social media. (sure, with all her spare time. ;)) This blog has been my journal for seven years. I have loved keeping a record of my family here. Each year, when I rec...

Love for My Boys

First, Sam. Sam is in such a sweet stage right now. Gentle, giving, fun, sweet, easy. He loves to cuddle and share. He's talking a ton now and growing so fast. He's learning to ride a bike and yesterday and twice today, he pooped in the potty! He's only 21 months!!! He's working on his two year old molars and has been carrying around an old metal rattle to chew on. This morning he accidentally whacked Davis on the head with it. Davis cried and I pulled him in my lap. Sam ran over and crawled up next to us on the couch. "What happened?", he asked, deeply concerned. I explained that he had hurt his brother. Sammy said, "So Sorry, Dadis. Hug.", and gave him a big hug. Then he said to Davis, "I loves you.". I've never heard him say he loved anything or anyone and I was so touched to hear him say it to his brother. He would follow Davis anywhere and does. He leaps from the couch after Davis and tromps through the grass. He ex...
