November 26: Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! I hope you all had a wonderful day :) We were brave and made the trip to Texas to visit all the Pasquiers and Bennetts! We had a great visit and really enjoyed watching all the kids play :) I am so grateful for our beautiful children and our wonderful family and friends. We love you all. I promise to post pictures soon!

November 20: Went on down to the Audubon Zoo...

Since the weather was absolutely beautiful, we went to New Orleans to take advantage of our Christmas present from Nonna and Baba- a membership to the Audubon Institute. It sure seems like we're going to have a lot of fun with that!
Checking out the map:

We went to the dinosaur exhibit, which really frightened poor Mick.

Sara was ok though!



Trying to get a picture...



Louisiana Black Bear:




Mick's favorite was the jaguar:

Watching the elephants eat:

On Sunday, we went to Amie and Paw-Paw's for the day. We sure had a great visit :)

November 1-21: Precious Moments














Mick woke up late one night to eat (since he wouldn't eat his dinner...)









From November 2010


Sweet Mick holding Peter's hand!














This is my favorite video! Mick showing Peter the "choo-choos" on his shirt!

November 1-21: Update!

Yikes! I can't believe that its been so long since I posted. We've been so busy with our "tribe" and Mike has been in and out of town so long story short, I've just been busy and by the time I get the kids down, I am just too exhausted to think.

So here's a little update: Peter had his two month checkup on November 3. He weighed in at 11 pounds, 12.5 ounces and was 22.5 inches tall. He is getting so big and can now hold up his head and roll both ways (which is insane, I know, but he can. Probably because he never stops moving!) His temperament is getting better. He smiles and coos a lot and seems to be outgoing his colic (thank God!) He is sleeping in his crib and is getting a lot better at sleeping (again thank God!)





Mick is doing well also. He really enjoys his Little Gym class and loves to roll his cars. He lines them up and I find them everywhere. He even sleeps with them and I will find this on his window sill in the morning. On November 4, he broke and glass and cut his finger really good, resulting in my first parental ER trip. I am sure it won't be my last! They were able to glue the cut and so he didn't have to get stitches! Its healed up nicely although when he sees a Band-Aid he shows me his finger and says "bo-bo" He really is getting so big and won't let Sara leave him out of anything!
This is the truck he got since I felt guilty about his finger...




Sara is doing great. She loves school and playing with her friends. She is really into games and puzzles right now! All last week, she ran a fever and so we were confined to our house and she missed her big Thanksgiving feast at school. She was really upset, but we got one ready at our house. We still haven't had the feast, since she got too tired with all the preparation. Sara has also learned to write her name. She showed absolutely no interest in learning for the longest time and then one day brought me the Magna doodle with her name on it (and written pretty well)! So random! She is a wonderful big sister and such a big help- I don't know what I would do without her!



Let's see, the weekend of November 6-7 Mike had drill so the kids and I spent the weekend in Lafayette.








On Sunday, Amie took Mick to see Sesame Street Live or "Mel-mo" He loved it!!!



Here is Sara getting ready for our feast (since she missed hers at school...)
Painting her "vest"
She made necklaces:


And pumpkin bread:

But that's about all a sick little girl can handle...

Poor girl (don't worry, she's all better now!)

Hopefully we'll have our feast soon!

October 31: Happy Halloween!

After the wedding, we went to Aunt Connie's to visit with everyone and we ended up spending the night! Sara loved playing with her cousins! Here she is with Violet and Molly (Annabelle didn't want to take a picture- we know how that goes!)


The kids were so tired from Saturday- Mick took a nap but by the time it was time for trick-or-treating he was exhausted! Sara was pretty tired too. But they perked up once they got a little candy :)

Peter was so excited he passed out. Poor guy was so cranky all day- he called just about all day. I think the wedding extravaganza was a little much for him. Thanks Amie and Paw-paw for helping me out since Mike had to go out of town (again!)



A lot of the houses just had candy on the porch since they were out trick-or-treating! The kids enjoyed picking out their treats!
After we finished trick-or-treating Sara and Paw-paw passed out some more candy!

Hope you had a great Halloween too! Thanks again Amie and Paw-paw!!
