Happy Halloween!

We headed to Shreveport for Halloween! Our precious little flower and bee were cute as could be! We were very excited that Ainsley would actually go to doors and say trick or treat (sometimes before the door would be opened...but its a start). She had a ton of fun! Once we were home, the sugar high commenced!

Sicky!

Poor Amelia has been sick and on breathing treatments! No fun at all! Oddly enough, despite the fact that she's breathing in steroids, Amelia passes out during her breathing treatments. This makes them much easier to deal with. I got sick a few days after Amelia started feeling better with some nasty fever...flu? Maybe...who knows! Somehow Dustin and Ainsley have stayed generally well!

Pumpkin Patch

Our pumpkin patch visit didn't go quite as planned this year. Ainsley didn't want to have her picture taken, Amelia didn't want to sit on the ground and Dustin didn't feel well. So we got a few quick shots and left.





















We then let Ainsley give her new car a test run in the parking lot. It was the first chance we've had since her birthday party thanks to all the rain. She figured it out pretty quickly and had a blast! Amelia chilled in the back of the car and took it all in.

8 Months

Amelia is 8 months old! She is so adventurous. She loves to crawl into Ainsley's pink chair and stand up when we aren't looking. In addition to pulling up on anything and everything, she's letting go with one hand and sometimes two for a brief second or two. She's also starting to walk holding on to the couch and tables...we are in trouble! Walking comes next if I remember correctly! She moved up a room at daycare and today was her first full day in the new room. She waved at me for the first time today when I picked her up. She still just has two teeth and no sign of any new ones on their way. She also is beginning to shower Charlie with lots of love. Amelia is always smiling and smiles even bigger when Ainsley is nearby.

Deep in the Heart of Texas!

Ainsley and I rode the train down to the Texas State Fair with Maria and Jadon and had a blast. The weather was perfect and the crowd was light. We could not have asked for a better day to go. Ainsley loved the fair last year, but this year she was able to do so much more. Next year maybe she will even be able to handle a few rides.

Eleanor!

Eleanor and her mommy were in town and we were very excited to see them! Ainsley and Eleanor shared a seat to watch the magic show and they took a ride on the carousel at Crystal's Pizza and Spaghetti Palace. It's an interesting to place to visit!















Can't wait to see you again! Maybe next time we will be back in Charlotte!

Yum!

Ainsley loves homemade hummus as much as we do! I wonder what she would think if she knew it had beans in it?
