Picture Day

This afternoon, we went to visit Ms. Robin for our Christmas Pictures!
Poor E, she was well overdue for her nap.
Maybe I should say poor Robin?

Here is a sneak peak...

Badness

This child...
I am way too young for grey hair, but she sure is trying!
We brag that she is developmentally advanced all the time; but, I guess we never realized that there could be a downside to it.
I am 100% sure that my soon to be 17th month old is in "The Terrible Two's".
Dear God!
She is into everything.
On everything.
Screaming and whining.
And that was just today.

She decided that she wanted to check out the view from the coffee table...

And then terrorized us sitting on the couch
(it is cute, I have to admit)

Then she decided to take a page out of Max's book, and check out what was so great about the back of the couch while Mommy was running the bath water.

And the piece de resistance, she peed on the floor as she was enjoying her nakey time before splishy fish.

She surely gets all these busy body characteristics from her father...

Wordless (I Still Can't Believe it is Only) Wednesday--Fun at the Park

Early Thanksgiving

We are back from our Thanksgiving dinner.

Yum!

Even though this was not Emily's first Thanksgiving, it was the first time she got to try most of the traditional Thanksgiving foods.

On her can't get enough list:

1. Nana's sweet potatoes

2. Cranberries

3. Pecan Pie!!

She thought the turkey was pretty good and nibbled on the stuffing, but when The Mommy tried to sneak in some creamed spinach, forget it!!

I don't know what I was thinking, but I forgot the camera.

We took a couple of pics with the new iPhone, but I am not impressed with the picture quality.

If anyone has any secrets, let me know!

Pawpoo is leaving Sunday for New Delhi.

:(

But, he will be back for a couple of weeks at Christmas!

E put her request in for a monkey!

Tuesday Travels

This afternoon we are picking The Daddy up from work and heading down to San Antonio for an early Thanksgiving.
Pawpo (aka GD) is leaving for India in a few days, and won't be here on the "real" Thanksgiving.
So, we are going to celebrate just a bit early.
Check back for pictures.

Happy Halloween!

What's all this fuss about Halloween?
Why do I have to dress up in a silly costume and go door to door...

FOR CANDY!!!
Let's go!!

Our little pirate popping a squat on the lawn and checking out her loot!

Being sneaky...

I bet there is more candy in here!!

Exhausted from trick or treating, or sugar crash?

Halloween was so much fun this year!
We went to a few houses and E loved getting to pick out her candy and pet our neighbors dogs.
And, she really enjoyed helping answer our door and greet all the trick or treat-ers.
One young one in a doggie costume got an extra treat...a sweet hug from Emily.
Happy Halloween!
