Halloween Costume Party

October 31, 2007 by Elaine

Last Saturday night we attended a costume party hosted by our friends Deborah and Bill. We went as a family and Tim and I dressed as farmers since Gavin was a chicken. Ben had the chance to use his frog costume for the first of 4 times (!) and even though he didn’t really fit…

COOKIES!!

October 26, 2007 by Elaine

I don’t know what you all will think, but I think this is THE coolest thing (for today anyway!). My friend Sher forwarded me an email with all these links to cookie recipes by the name of the recipe, but unfortunately when I clicked on one it took me to the wrong recipe, instead of…

Baby in a Basket

October 24, 2007 by Elaine

Here’s a cutie pic of Gavin in the laundry basket last night. He is really sitting quite well by himself in the last couple of days and I just couldn’t resist putting him in there while I was pulling the laundry out of the dryer. On another subject our prayers are with all the people…

Cowboys

October 24, 2007 by Elaine

So, I am not a Dallas Cowboys fan and this fact is a point of contention between Tim and I since he REALLY loves them. But…in the spirit of love and marriage I thought I would mention that Tim went to the game this last Sunday with his brother Brian and had a great time….

Fall Fun

October 19, 2007 by Elaine

We went to the Dallas arboretum today with our playgroup friends and it was quite fun. Ben’s favorite part were these big wooden pumpkins that you could go inside that he called “pumpkin houses” and he also liked the pumpkin patch and even voluntarily requested that we go take more pictures there. Funny, huh?! I…

Sit Baby, Sit!

October 18, 2007 by Elaine

Gavin had p.t. on Tuesday and his therapist said he looks really good. We have to continue to work on getting his shoulders down and help him learn to roll from back to tummy which he is not doing yet. Part of my working with him at home is to have him sit and then…

Baptized Boy

October 14, 2007 by Elaine

Today we celebrated Gavin’s baptism with our church community, family and friends. He did really well during the mass and while he was getting his oil and water (ha!) but he was not too happy to take pictures afterward (he was quite tired). His new Godparents are my brother Larry and my sister-in-law Kelley. We…
