October Fun!


We have had lots of fun this month so far! We were able to get away for a week earlier this month to our friends lake house at Lake Corpus Christi near Mathis, Tx. It was so nice to just relax and to be together as a family for 5 straight days! We fished a little and mostly just hung out. Here is Peter's first catfish catch!

While we we there we went to Corpus Christi one day and visited the Aquarium and ate some seafood. Peter really liked getting to touch the animals and "train" the dolphins. :)



Our first Professional Portrait as a family of four...lol.This Sunday we had baby dedications and got to dedicate Hadley. One of our elders Bob dedicated her since usually Pete does the dedications. She fell right to sleep when he started praying. There were 11 families doing dedications this weekend!

My friend Becca told me after church that she had put some left over baby food, that she had from her little boy, in Pete's truck for when Hadley starts eating it. I didn't expect 75 jars! Your awesome Becca! Had to do a little rearranging in my cabinets!


My mom was here for a few days and helped me get so many things off my to do list! It is so nice having good company all day to talk to. We hate when she has to leave!! Today we had playgroup costume party. Peter requested to be a brown dog so I made his costume this week and H was a ballerina.


Speaking of dogs...Lucy has been so naughty since we brought Had home and has spent most of her free time pouting, spilling the kitchen trash can, and soiling the carpet about 10 feet from her doggy door. Want her? Maybe she can't SEE her doggy door since i haven't taken her the groomer in SO long. Good news is we have new tile for the house..bad news is we still don't know who will install it. I can' wait! We have Fall Festival on Sunday night so stay tune for more pictures!

Lots of Catching Up to Do!

My mom reminded me yesterday that I hadn't updated this since August! Thanks mom! You are probably the only one who reads this anymore. :) So we have been doing some major adjusting to having two kids and I am not sure that any of us have adjusted too smoothly. We have spent the first two months trying to figure out if Hadley has reflux or a food allergy or both. Right now it seems like probably both. I have completely cut out all dairy from my diet and it seems like she is sleeping better and screaming much less after nursing..so exhausting. Pete forgot that I couldn't have dairy and was trying to be sweet after I had a really long day with the kids and bought me a pint of chocolate ice cream. I want to eat it SO. BAD. Torture! So here are some pictures of what we've been up to lately:

Hadley has been working on cooing..so fun.


Baking cookies.


Camping in the backyard.


Napping.


Baling hay.

Laughing at Peter.


Spreading germs...lol...Peter had croup. Hadley and I got a cold. Peter's croup turned into bronchitis and then he had a huge swollen lymph node in his groin, dr. said from a scrape on his knee that got infected. We have been stuck in the house for over a week!! AHHHH!

On a happier note, Pete finally got his bible study books finished, published, and printed. Yay! He's worked so hard on these and I am proud of him for getting them done. Go HERE.

That's all for now! Hopefully I will be back before Christmas! :)
