I know I am slacking on the posts lately. I have good reason though...3 weeks ago I started a new job at Texas A&M - that weekend I had 3 friends in from out of town, then the following weekend was thanksgiving and now I have spent this week decorating for christmas. The lights are up, the decor is done and the tree was put up tonight! I think I may have some breathing room after this weekend...

I never got around to the Halloween pictures - so I will post them here and the rest of our October. Hopefully I will get to November this weekend!

Jerra's school had a trick or treating event. the kids got to dress up and go around to different spot and get candy. Parents volunteered to hand out the candy - so I 'volunteered' Geoff to dress up in the Ostrich. He was beyond thrilled to do it. hehe...




Daddy carved the pumpkin again this year. he is the creative force in the family, so I let him run with stuff like this. My pumpkin would have been 3 triangles and a smile. Jerra was really into it at first....until she found a frog, then that is realy all she cared about...



For halloween night, Jerra picked out the girls atire. She insisted on being a witch. Particularly, a 'witch like minnie mouse.' There is a Halloween episode of Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and Minnie is dressed like a witch. So that is where that idea came from. Jorja, she decided, was to be a ladybug. So, we had a little witch and a cutie ladybug that night. Jerra had so much fun walking the neighborhood with her friends. She really got into it and was excited to go to the next house and was ready to say "trick or treat". She is still eating her treats out of her pumpkin!




Hopefully I will have some down time after this weekend and can get around to editing some pictures and getting more up on the blog. Stay tuned!

Jorja Lynn

Jorja is 3 months...almost 4!

My little one is growing so fast, it seems to go by even faster the 2nd time around. She is such a joy. A happy baby. She cries when she is tired and hungry. She laughs, smiles and coos the rest of the time. I will put her in the high chair when I am working in the kitchen with some baby toys on the tray and I will listen to her just laugh and laugh to herself. She loves watching Jerra. She smiles so big when Jerra makes silly faces at her. She is a snuggler. I snuggle as often as I can since I know that all too soon she will be way to active to have time to snuggle with me. She has really found her voice lately...in the carseat, her swing, laying in bed with her playmat - she talks and talks and talks to us. She is such a joy. My heart swells with joy when I look at her.

PowerSports

Jerra goes to PowerSports 2 days a week with their Mother's Day Out Program. Mondays and Wednesdays 9am-1pm she spends her time running, jumping, and all around playing at the gym. They also do lots of reading, crafts and other fun things. She really loves it and looks forward to her play days. Here are some pictures from their Halloween day last week....

catching up...

Going to try and catch up on some pictures before we have the Halloween ones!

These are of Jorja from Oct 9th - 3 months old!!! She has been just a dream. She is such a happy baby, sleeps well, only cries when she is tired. Jerra has been so good with her as well.




Here is my "adorable" Jerra...



Jorja looking super cute in overalls!



And just for Louis...Jerra LOVES frogs! Dad found one in our backyard and Jerra was super excited!

Joy!
