Reese, 3 months

and growing like a weed...She is pretty much sleeping through the night. She eats around 10 or so and she usually stirs once but once we give her her paci she is back out until 6-8. This is SO much better than my boys and I am just hoping it hangs on. Other than hating her carseat, she is pretty much the easiest thing all the time. She is just on the verge of laughing, as you can see in this video.

Hands and Feet



Our church (spearheaded by a few good friends) has begun a new ministry called Hands and Feet. It is a way to serve others and allow our children to be apart as well. Our first project was on Sunday night. We met at the church, made cookies together, decorated and packaged them, and then delivered them to a children's home in Round Rock. It was a great experience. Even with Tucker saying he was hungry no less than 50 times, he willingly participated in making the cookies and decorating the box. Griffin made a sweet card. It was really neat delivering the cookies. We went to 2 homes and met the moms and kids at the first home while they were out playing. At the 2nd home no one was there, so we left the cookies (we also left our mark as Griffin broke their flag holder, but that led to another lesson learned :)). We talked alot about what we were doing and why and it was a great experience. We are looking forward to the next one.

Fun Farm













Here are some pictures from the fun farm at school. Same as every year, but the kids never get tired of it! It took a lot of nerve, but Tucker got on the horse. Griffin's focus this year was the bunnies- he was really sweet with them.

Pumpkin Patch










This was our third year to go to Marble Falls to the pumpkin patch and meet our good buddies, the Cherry's there. Last year we tried to go late in October to get cooler weather, but all the flowers were dead, the pumpkins were picked over and it was still 90 degrees. So, this year we opted for the early October date and, although it was hot, we had a great time! The flowers were actually very pretty despite the drought and the pumpkins were slim already so it is good we went when we did. The kids had so much fun together- it was great seeing them again.
