Trick or Treat

Trick or Treat...lil' G's favorite phrase of the evening. He loved carrying around his candy and getting it in his bag.








We went to a pumpkin patch a few days ago. Miss L painted the pumpkin and then we carved it yesterday me and her.

My Boys

My boys. I love em, to death. I could have five more and be content with life. One is leaving me for the weekend to present a poster in Louisiana. I miss him already. Lil' G looked addicted to TV, sometimes I wish...especially during piano lessons, but o'contrar.

How Much is that Doggy in the window?

We are puppy sitting this week. I have decided from the last 24 hours that I will not get a dog anytime soon. And they don't take off their shoes when they come inside. They are like taking care of another kid, and I have my hands full with those.

Sleeping Babes

Miss L must sleep in style...I laughed when I found her like this.



Lil' G was just to cuddly not to take a picture of. I am afraid he is getting to be much more of a toddler than a baby. But he still loves to cuddle with me. Good thing.


Today was a nice break. Gary worked 14 hour night shifts OB all last week and all day Saturday. I was about done with it all. Sunday was so nice to have him here.

Go Astros

My friend who works for the police department gave Gary and I tickets to the Astros a couple weeks ago...and volunteered to watch our kids. We had a great time and ate way too many chili cheese fries. They lost miserably though.

The Usual

Note much has happened here lately. We are extremely busy with school schedules. You think with kids NOT is school I wouldn't say that, but once again I teaching a full load of piano students at night. On a different note, I decided to declutter the house again. With us possibly relocating in May, we need to have stuff cleaned out and our food storage eaten ( any ideas for beans or macaroni folks?)

It is definitely a team effort at this house. But it is nice to be back in routine and simplify.



A few things that happened to us:

Miss L: started preschool and loves it.

Lil' G: discovered Books and Bugs and rocks (and has the ant bites on his little hand this morning to prove it, just too interested not to touch)

Me: Discovered the secret to cooking the perfect scrambled egg. Did I mention I hate browned eggs. And started to pull out the Christmas music (you ask already?, yup)

Gary: Learned how to deliver babies yesterday via C-section, he on his OB rotation right now. In the throws of residency application process, but we have definitely seen a few blessing come our way during this very stressful process.

Beach Day

Today we spent the morning at the beach. We go to this place you pull right up to the water. The afternoon was a bit crowded, but the morning was just perfect. Lil' G just loved digging in the sand. And Miss L loved being buried alive.

Beautiful water, happy children, lots of friends, yummy food.

I'm really glad Gary had the day off.
