Halloween Party



Morgan's Halloween party at Preschool was today. Just a reason to get kids on a sugar rush & send them home with their parents! She is learning so much & having a great time there. I was really lucky to get her in at the last minute. This is her teacher, Ms. Anna, who really didn't want her picture taken.

Rock Wall




I have to brag on my kid a little bit. We have known that she is never going to be a Mia Hamm or Cheryl Swoops, but she tries. So anyway, they have this rock wall bounce house thing at the Pumpkin Patch. All I am thinking is, please don't ask to do that, it is so big & you will never make it up there. But like a good mom, I only think it & don't say it. While I am in this thought process I hear, "Let's do that first!" Of course. No ice cream, face painting, horse carriage rides... just the rock wall. So we take her over there & we see big kids fall down... I almost ask the kids in front of us to help her up, but think better of it. So it's Morgan's turn & the lady looks at us like, "Sure, we'll give it a try, but.." The next thing you know Ms. Spiderman is just hightailing it up that thing! I was so impressed! The people in line actually cheered her on, they were so suprised that such a little girl could do it! Long skinny legs & not weighing as much as a feather does pay off sometimes.

Pumpkin Patch




We went to one of Stephen's Customer's Fall Festival. Morgan got to pick out pumkins, thank goodness she only wanted to paint them!

Having fun





We visited the Andrew Jackson State Park... exciting I know. And of course, enjoying Texas Tech games on TV every chance we get. Stephen has already brainwashed Morgan & Aunt Kim is starting on baby boy by sending him outfits & hats to wear. Stephen & Morgan like to play "Cowboy" in the front yard.

Settling In


We are settling in pretty well. Morgan & Sarah are adjusting just fine. Stephen is doing great at work... he loves Harvest Season. The work-a-holic! We are getting to know the Charlotte area pretty well. We would love visitors anytime.

Cakes


I am still working on cakes, here is the latest I did last night for Stephen's work. Pretty simple one, but I think it turned out ok.


House


Well, we are all moved in, thank goodness! Still some decorating, but at least we can find our socks! Only 2 boxes to unpack! Baby boy's room is coming a long, which is good because it seems that Dec. 27th is sneaking up on us. He is 3lbs. 8oz. right now & I feel every bit of it! He is quite the kicker!
