We love Seattle

So B and myself are packing our things and are heading back home tomorrow from a two and a half week trip to the beautiful state of Washington. We have experienced many fun things, including Seattle's first 2009 snowfall. How lovely!

B has enjoyed spending this time with her cousins who she loves very much! Every time Kinsey comes to help me get B from naptime, she sees Kinsey Anne and begins to jump up and down! How sweet is the love of family.

Bathtime or Target runs with three can get a bit hectic, but being able to visit with Alyssa, Kinsey and Miss Dot was more than a much needed trip for all five of us. Leaving will be pretty difficult. I'm am so blessed to have my husband at home with us every night SO let me just say that I have never had more respect for my sister than I do today. Superwoman doesn't even cover it. I just wish I understood what military wives and family have given up for decades so that we could all live free. I do now, and I am changed because of it.

Thank you Andy, Alyssa, Kinsey and Avery for letting us all know and love you!

Here are some fun pics of the trip:

And, last but not least

The Quote of the Trip:
"Did someone poop?"

I have never changed more pooey dipes than this December!

Halloween 2009, Good Times

This Halloween we made sugar cookies with a set of cookie cutters from Granny and Grandaddy, dressed up as a LSU Tiger and an adorable Strawberry, took lots of pictures, trick or treated with Holland, an LSU Cheerleader, played at Alice's house, Holland's Meemaw, rode in a wagon, took more pictures, discovered Tootsie Rolls, jumpy jumped at the church fall festival, and then got to eat McDonalds! Woohoo! What a treat!

Here are the pictures to prove it all. Enjoy!

He is so ready for this! Here is a slideshow of that day, and a few pictures of H at a party hosted by Russ' family. They do a big thing each year for all of the kids and their friends! I missed it, and B was super sick.

October.....already???

Wow! Where has this year gone? It is already Fall, which I am somewhat excited about since we might actually have a Fall this year (being in Louisiana). In Boston, it was already a blizzard and California doesn't have more than two seasons. I must say though, I am a bit concerned about the amount of rain that we might endure this time of year. It rained for the two weeks straight at our house this past few weeks, and boy did I not miss that!

We have been playdating with friends some and also finally got to take EVERYONE to church this past weekend. I gave in to all of my friends telling me to just put them in the nursery, "It will be good for you" I love the undesirable advice I get from people that tell me what I NEED to do. Hilarious. And not to be the pesimist that we all know I am rather good at, but BOTH of my children, who have NEVER been sick let me add, are so sick. We have not slept in nights due to this and now we are both sick from lack of sleep. Woohoo! Tell me again...why do people bring their sick children to the church nursery??? I guess sick people need Jesus time, too. Hmmm.

Anywhoodalou...here are some pics of our little Cupcake Decorating playdate (I rock) and other ones of the babies in their playroom upstairs.
