P on the plane home.

DC zoo

We went to the DC zoo - it was awesome. It had wonderful animals (and lots of them) and it was free (ok one dollar for the map)! We got other pictures, but they are on the video camera - so maybe another time I will get those. But here are the two we got before the battery died on the digital camera.

Pierce had a great time putting chips on his arms at the hotel restaurant.

So we went on our first vacation on a plane with Pierce to DC. It was a great trip! We saw a lot and had wonderful weather!

Visiting Aunt D's classroom

While up in Dallas we visited Aunt D's classroom. Pierce had a great time. There was so much to look at and play with! Pics taken 11/6/06

Frank and Michele's wedding 11/5/06

We headed up north to go a wedding reception. Frank, James' really good friend from high school, got married in Italy and was having a reception and we were not going to miss it for anything! Pierce ended up getting sick, but was a trooper for us there. In the end he had a great time too! It was a beautiful reception and we were so glad to have seen them and wish them our best!!

In Loving Memory

Yesterday I received a call that my grandpa passed away. With this news, Pierce and I are going to pack up and head to Nebraska to be with family and say our good-byes. Please keep us all in your prayers. We love you grandpa! Pic taken 6/24/06

Wohoo Nov

I am so excited to finally have gotten all the pics through Oct posted - calls for another Woohoo! Ok, so I have to get Nov pics up soon so I can say I am on track. We have a lot of fun pics to share since we went on our first plane trip with Pierce - we went to DC. Pierce did pretty good going up - he was awake most of the plane ride except for last half hour. He was a busy guy. The change in pressure did not effect him one bit. He did great in DC and out of the places we visited (spy museum, ford theatre and house across street, zoo, Washington monument) the zoo was his favorite place! We made the most of the trip even with Pierce and D getting better from a cold. The weather was absolutely wonderful there too - we actually packed for much colder weather. We rode the metro train all over (did not rent a car) and Pierce really like that. We are back home and trying to get back into the grove of things. Then Thanksgiving is coming up and we have to still figure that out! Hope everyone is doing well and more pictures are to come! Thanks for your patience again.

Babysit Coop

So 5 of the ladies in the playgroup decided to try out a rotating babysit coop (included me). So we had our first one on 10/24 - and yes it was my turn to leave Pierce. First time doing this kind of thing and of course I was nervous and was like what am I going to do with out Pierce. It went well and Pierce had a great time. Here is the group of kids.

Halloween

Here was J other costume that he wore on Halloween.

Funky Monkey Pierce - this was the name given to him as we trick or treated.

Here Pierce is at our halloween playdate - the cell phone (an old one) is something he does not like to put down when he gets ahold of it. Pic taken 10/28

Here is the family costume pic - I was a candy corn witch, J was Shaggy and Pierce was a monkey.
Pierce dressed up in the monkey costume. Pierce also had a cow costume, but we for some reason did not get any pics of him in it! He was adorable.

Rocking Chair

The rocking chair has become a favorite item lately - to get on and off, to rock and then mr danger boy comes out and standing he tries before getting in trouble. Pics taken 10/27

Pumkin Patch 2

Pumpkin Patch 1

So we went to the SweetBerry farms pumpkin patch on 10/22 - was a family playdate I set up. It was so much fun and the weather could not have been prettier!
The day was full of a picnic, a hay ride, visiting a donkey and her baby, and playing with pumpkins and getting some homemade icecream!

The Zoo

10/18 Well grandma came to visit for a few days so we went to the Austin Zoo. You can't really tell by these pictures since they don't have any animals in them. Grandma had such a blast showing him around and helping him explore, look at animals and ride the train. It was a great trip to the zoo!
