First Burrito!

Elliot is always hungry. He says, "I'm still hungry, Mom" to me like 10 times a day. Today he had his first burrito at Chipotle. He didn't eat the whole thing but loved looking just like Daddy!

Keeping Warm!

We have had a very cold few days here in Texas. It has been much colder than usual for this time of year.

Look how cute Elliot is! We were waiting on the school porch to pick up Annalise and Noah.

What a super handsome boy!

Watch Dogs!

Our elementary school has a program called Watch Dogs. A couple of weeks ago, Jon was a Watch Dog. The kids were SO excited for him to hang out at school all day. He got to spend a lot of time with both of their classes and eat a yummy school lunch in the cafeteria with both of them.

This picture is now hanging up on the Watch Dog bulletin board and will be in the year book at the end of the year.

Fun in Fort Worth

My Mom and I took the kids to Fort Worth for a very quick trip! We had to clean and stage our old house there- that we still owned. It was a whirlwind weekend- we were super busy.

Here are all the kids on our old porch swing. We have so many awesome memories of sitting out on that porch and swinging.

We swam at the "who-tel" one of the afternoons.

We ate at Uncle Julio's. Jon and I went on our first date here way back in the day!

We visited Ridgmar Mall- where my friends and I used to take our babies and go mall walking!

The kids were amazed by the old-fashioned telephones in the hotel. We ended up having to unplug them because the boys could NOT leave them alone. They provided a lot of entertainment!

It was a fun and productive weekend. We ended up getting a contract on our house and closing less than a month later. It was also a really sweet trip down memory lane.

Halloween 2014

We had another awesome Halloween! We had a potluck in our driveway with our neighbors. The kids had so much fun running around and playing while we were waiting to go trick-or-treating.

Sadly, I took very few pictures...

Here are the kids in costume-

Annalise was a cat, Noah is the red power ranger, and Elliot is Max Steeel.

They all got lots of candy! It was on a Friday night so we didn't have to rush home.

We love our neighbors!

Noah is Reading!!!

Noah started the school year being able to read. We actually had no idea he could read until the teachers sent home the beginning of the year evaluation!

He is so proud!!!

This is after he read a book from the school library to us-

Swaddled!

Noah LOVED being swaddled when he was a baby. He asked us about it and I told him we could try it sometime with a giant sheet from our bed.

And... He loved it! He even asked to be swaddled at night (we said "no" to this) for a few days after this...

Even though she is wearing a big smile, Annalise did NOT like this! Just like when she was a baby. She needs to be free to wiggle and have nothing covering her so she doesn't get too hot.
