The past few weeks...

This month has been very busy with trips, visits from friends, and seeing family. Here is a pictorial review:

Our friends, the Hueys, came in for a Saturday so Todd and Vic could go to the Aggie Football game while the kids and moms played at the house. Here is Atticus, Grace, Camden, and Haley holding Leighton.

 

We went to Galveston for a few days with Vic, who had meetings for work during the day. We went to the Rainforest and the Aquarium at Moody Gardens, hit up the beach, and ate at Rainforest Café twice. Needless to say, the abundance of animals made Atticus' week!

We celebrated 6 years of wedded bliss with a night out while Vic's parents were in town to watch the kids. We went to Uncorked for wine, cheese, and fruit in Downtown Bryan. Then, we had dinner at The Republic in College Station, where we had steaks, scallops, wine, calamari, macaroni and cheese, and cauliflower gratin. Yum! While in Downtown Bryan, we stopped by Downtown 202, where our reception was held 6 years before. It was rainy and there was another wedding reception going on!

Though I had a weekend filled with Church duties, scrapbooking and our anniversary night out, the kids had lots of fun with their Janny & Grandpa.

We attended our friends, Chris & Katherine's, neighborhood fall festival that had popcorn, balloon animals, a train ride, a petting zoo that included a 50 year old turtle, and a playground. These are all Atticus' favorite things.

We have had lots of fun in the bathtub lately. 

 

We headed to Sanger/Aubrey for a few days to visit the Erwin side of the family. I got to do a little afternoon shopping and had dinner at Charley & Ana's; we shopped for kitchen floors with GG; we checked on the cows and horses and Melbo & Pa's a few times; we played with and fed the goats at Grandma & Pop's house; and finally we happened to say goodbye to "Free Pass", the goat in the picture above. A few days after we saw her, she passed away at 16 years old. She was our last show goat and one of the best we ever had. Mabie, my favorite doe, passed away earlier this year at 15 years old.

And, since we have been back, we've had a few playdates, done some Thanksgiving crafts, talked about what we are thankful for, and had some toddler kind of days (Atticus - not me). We are currently at the house, watching the Aggies hopefully beat the hell outta LSU, and staying warm on this 43 degree day. We had plans to be in Austin this weekend with the Huey's, but Grace has gotten sick the last couple of days and ended up with a fever yesterday and all through the night until about noon today. She is finally napping and we are hoping she starts feeling better soon. Vic is working a couple of days this week, but we are very excited for Thanksgiving Day!
