Donnie is sitting now!!

Donnie has been working on it for a long time now, and he's finally got it. He is sitting up with no problem at all. He has an occasional wipeout, but that's usually because Cadynce is tackling him. He is finally consistently rolling over both ways and Cadynce loves to roll him over using only her head. Yes, that sounds weird but it is really entertaining for us all. Donnie adores his big sister. View Album for more pictures.

Aunt Cat and Uncle Chase Visit!!

Catherine and Chase came to see us for a few days and they have decided that they are not ready for kids yet!! Donnie did a great job of spitting up on both of them and we changed Cadynce's name to Whiney Whiner. Just kidding, it wasn't that bad. We were so happy they came to visit and so were Hoosier and Roxy. Roxy got a lot of cuddle time on the couch with Cat and Chase while Hoosier enjoyed having her bed to herself.

We went bowling one morning and went to the playground a couple of times, played a little tennis, and did some shopping. I was also honored to introduce Chase to his first Chipotle burrito. I think he's in love!! Friday night we went to Floores Country Store to listen to some Texas Country music. There was hardly anyone there, but it was fun to take them somewhere that was totally Texas. We ate lunch outside in the perfect weather each day while the kids napped...it was wonderful.

Go Irish!

Don and I had a great Halloween night. We went to watch Notre Dame play at the Alamodome and got to see our friends Jeff and Kelly. The game was a blowout, but we stayed until the very end and that rarely happens. We just enjoyed our evening out. After the game we went to Chili's to eat. I really love our date nights.

Happy Halloween!

We went trick or treating at the zoo on Friday night. It was pretty cool walking around the zoo at night and seeing the animals. Cadynce doesn't quite have the hang of trick or treating yet. Why do they put the candy in the bucket? They should have just put in her mouth as she walked by. Each piece of candy that was put in her bucket, she took it out and ate it. She was on a serious sugar high. We definitely "over did it." We had a great time and Cadynce loved being a monkey again. Our plan was for her to be Abby Cadabby from Sesame Street, but the weather was a little cool for that costume so she was a BoBo Brother. My plans for their costumes didn't happen this year.
