House for sale

We had a couple of showings this week. It's hard because we have to keep things clean and disappear during the showing. We move in the new house around mid-November. Just in time for the holidays.

Audrey got the flu mist last Saturday and then started feeling sick with a low grade fever and sniffles. She went to school on Tuesday and had a decent day but then woke up on Wed worse than the day before so I kept her home. She has ballet on Tuesdays and loves it!

Matthew is doing well in his school. He tries to be a great help at home and he tries to play with Audrey in order to be dazzling. This is what the teacher encourages them to do. It's working!

In this photo, he is teaching Audrey how to play hopscotch despite the fact that she wasn't doing it right. The kids love Roxy. It's been fun having her around.

Pumpkin decorating

The weather is finally cooling off for fall. When we left for San Diego the temperature was in the 90's and when we returned it was in the 70's. It's about time! My parents came into town over the weekend. They arrived on Friday evening in time for family game night. We played Monopoly Jr and Matthew won. On Saturday, we went to the park and played around the house and everyone took a long nap. In the evening, all the adults went to the Eagles concert. It was a great concert! And then on Sunday, we decorated pumpkins and made Carmel apples. Fall is here!

Snaggles and San Diego

On Monday, Matthew lost his first tooth. It was wiggly over the weekend and then came out while he was eating. He was very excited. They walked him down to the nurses office and gave him a special plastic treasure chest to put his tooth in. He put it under his pillow and the tooth fairy brought $1. Matthew had lots of questions on how that fairy could carry his heavy tooth.

Matthew's school let out early Thursday and they were off Friday so we took a trip to San Diego to visit Aunt Lori. Andy stayed behind to work and get the house ready for an open house showing on Sunday. We came back on Sunday to a nice, clean house and it didn't take long before the kids started pulling out toys.

Texas Hoedown

It was a busy week for the last week of Sept. Andy traveled to Ireland for work. Matthew is settling into his new school and making friends. Audrey is also doing well in her big girl class. She loves her ballet class on Tuesday. Matthew learned about Texas at school and had a chili cook off on Friday, Sept 27th. I attended and watched a nice Texas Hoedown where all the kindergartens did the chicken dance and dos-si-doed. The kids had a blast and enjoyed s'mores made outside without a camp fire- who needs fire when you have 90 degrees of heat to melt marshmallows.

Dylan's 1st Birthday

We drove to New Braunfels for the weekend to celebrate Dylan's 1st Birthday. Audrey and Matthew were so excited to give her the presents. Matthew had the "class dog" Clifford for the weekend so he will tell his classmates everywhere Clifford went. Audrey snatched Clifford and played with him most of the time.

We floated in the Guadalupe River, ate BBQ, roasted marshmallows for s'mores, and visited with the family. It was a 5 hour drive into the hill country area. We brought Roxy ( long haired dauchsand) back with us to Dallas to stay with us for a little while.

First week of September

Matthew is getting used to his new school and Andy & I are adjusting to the new schedule. Andy leaves the house by 7:15am with Matthew and Audrey. It's early but it is nice for Andy (& myself) to make it to work earlier. I usually pick up Matthew in the evenings from his after school care around 5:30pm and Andy will bring Audrey home since his office is near her school.
