Holidays 2008

Hello to all!  I really do apologize for the HUGE gap in our posts since November last year.  With the holidays came busy days and lots of fun.  I plan to post pictures of our times home and will probably only comment on pictures that require information.  I promise to try to keep a better account of our happenings and look forward to hearing from you all, too.  

All of us here wish all of you a most blessed 2009!

The Pattersons came to visit...

In early November, our dear friends, Brooks and Ginger came to visit.  We were thrilled to get the chance to open our home to our friends and getting to show them some of what we like best so far about San Antonio.  The kids seemed to enjoy their time with "BeeBee" and "GeeGee" as much as we did.

Sorry it's been so long...

Hi, all.  I apologize it has been such a long while since I have last posted anything about the kids or our happenings.  Life has certainly picked up some.  We have been fortunate to be visited by family and friends as well as living every day in full throttle.  Pictures to follow.

Oliver has been busy cutting two lower teeth and learning to crawl.  Estelle is growing more witty and funny everyday and I hope to have video of them both posted soon.  We will all be heading to Shreveport this weekend for nice long visit over Thanksgiving week.  I anticipate time to post then.... I guess we'll see how that turns out.

Until then, thanks for checking in and please stay tuned.  For those of you we'll not get to see, we all wish you a blessed and love-filled Thanksgiving.  

Halloween buzz.....

Mimi, Poppa and Scruffy came in town on Halloween night. They arrived just in time before Estelle decided she had enough of her costume.  Oliver had his fill of Halloween, too.



One of Estelle's classmates, Maddie, dressed as a fairy princess.

Our little Bee had a Fall Festival at her preschool where all the kids came dressed in their costumes and paraded around the back play-ground.  Well, needless to say, it was ADORABLE.  Estelle loved having Brian come to her school and really preferred being in her arms than with her class.

I remember how fun it was being little and fitting behind furniture and finding random hiding places.  Apparently, Estelle appreciates it as well.  Such a fun and silly little girl.

Our new foodie...

A few weeks ago, Oliver began solid foods.  I cannot say he was a fan at first, but now he's really getting the hang of it.  So far, he's a fan of everything he's tried including bananas, peas, sweet potatoes and prunes.
