Happy Thanksgiving!

I hope everyone had a great Turkey day! Ours was wonderful: lots of food, friends & family. It's been so long since I've posted...(Sorry Kevin!) Here are some random pictures of our day:

Famous

While Emma was in ballet class today, I picked up the November issue of Austin Family Magazine...Flipping through the pages, I saw Emma staring right back at me from page 26...
A photographer friend we know through my sister-in-law, Amy, took pictures of Emma last April. She had briefly talked about using pictures of Emma in her advertising, but I had completely forgotten. It took me by surprise...I showed Emma her picture in the magazine, and she couldn't have cared less...

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

We've had some fun and many photo sessions over the last few days. Emma had a blast trick or treating and celebrating Halloween with her numerous aunts, uncles, grandparents and cousins. Our neighborhood was booming on Halloween night! Apparently, it was THE place to be. It was a lot of fun!

After EVERY single house, Emma would ask "Mommy, can I eat my candy now?"...we waited until we got home, and she was allowed to pick 5 pieces to eat that night, and we saved the rest for later. When I picked her up at school yesterday, her teacher told me that she had been complaining of a tummyache a few times that morning. On the way home in the car, Emma said "Mommy, at next Halloween, I will only eat one candy so I don't get a tummy ache again"

Emma has Spanish lessons at school, and she has been learning some Halloween Spanish words. The other night, proud that my daughter knows some new spanish words, asked her in front of her grandparents "Emma, how do you say 'pumpkin' in Spanish?". Very seriously, and with a sassy spanish accent she replied " jaco-lahn-torn" (Jack-O-lantern) Too funny!

Here are pics of our Halloween:

Ben, what a cute pea in the pod

Poor Lola, dressed as a mermaid. Emma picked out her costume. She loves it, can you tell?

And here are some more pictures of our week with my sister, Jenny and nephew, Ben, who were here visiting this week. Ben's so cute, and SO big! We looked at Emma's baby book and realized that at 3 months, he's the size (weight and length) that Emma was at 10 months!!! She was such a shrimp, and he's a big boy!! But what a sweet, happy, healthy baby boy! We just got back from dropping them off at the airport, and Emma said in the car "I miss Jenny and baby Ben a LOT" Aw! It was great spending the week with them, and we can't wait to see them again at Christmas!!
