Lots of Updates

November is halfway over already! Since the Fall Festival we have been pretty busy. Last Thursday I went to the Healthy Woman Gala that our hospital puts on every year. We had a great speaker this year, Lisa Smartt, good food and just a nice evening out.

The Office Girls

Sunday evening Pete and I had a date night! YAY! He is so sweet and bought me tickets to the Broadway Riverdance show at the Majestic Theatre in San Antonio and tickets for the Nutcracker Ballet at the end of the month! We went to visit my Dad in the hospital for a few hours (more on that below), went to eat, went to Goodwill...lol my idea, and then found a little bakery across from the theatre and stopped in for some apple pie and coffee. The show was great and surprisingly we BOTH enjoyed it. :)

My dad is having a rough week. He spent several days in ICU fighting an infection and is back on the oncology floor now. He is very confused and doesn't know where he is and what is going on. There was no change as of yesterday when my sister was there. Continue to pray for him and his wife Connie who has been there everyday/night since this started!

I just started a new discipleship class about Spiritual Gifts. It has been really good so far and our instructor asked me to fill in to teach the class this Monday. It was nice to teach again but I am really enjoying just sitting and learning the last few semesters. I know I will facilitate a class again once I go through the program so I am just soaking it all up.

Peter went for his 18 month well visit on Monday also. He is 23 lbs and 33 inches tall...i'm thinking more like 32.5 in. He is saying more words than we can count these days and repeating everything. He is starting to put a few words together here and there. And seems to be wanting to spend a large amount of time in...time out. Yes something has clicked in his brain the last two weeks that makes me wonder if it is possible to start the terrible two's at 18 months. Maybe he will get it over with sooner and we will have the terrific twos! :) Peter had a daycare injury on Tuesday. Another kid bit him on his face and he has a pretty good bruise in the shape of some top and bottom teeth still. I am going to go check everyone's mouth to see who did it....not really..haha. Hopefully it doesn't happen again! We have never had a problem with Peter biting and when he came home, I was asking him about his face and he gave me a hug and bit me on the shoulder. Not going to start this. I took a few pictures last week in the yard....



My nephews are in the high school football playoffs for Junction starting this weekend! Way to go Eagles!! Hopefully we will get to cheer them on in Hondo on Saturday!

"The Hair" came out of the closet again

Lol...so my title is a little scary. Its just that my nappy hairpiece has been to one too many events I think. I think I will replace it and move on to a new personality. Here are some pics of it (and us :) ) at the Cowboy Fellowship Fall Festival at the Jourdanton City Park.

Like the poodle?

Pre-dunking booth.


This picture makes me cold.
They counted over 5000 people this year! Great job everyone who helped put it on this year! We had lots of great game booths this year, good fajitas, a juggler, and a great band called the Wrecking. These guys love Jesus, are super genuine, and so easy to hang out with. We enjoyed having them down for the weekend! They are from Maine but are all over the place so check them out if you get a chance.

Happy November!
