November 2 - Where Did the Kids Go?
Happy Tuesday everyone! Can you believe it is November? Thanksgiving is just over 3 weeks away and then Christmas is right around the corner. 2010 is flying by! J.D. left for Florida last week (shuttle launch) so Sarah and her pooch Ruby came in to help me with our little beans. Sarah had a great time snuggling with Luke and she had fun playing with Julia. Julia loved the company and had a fab time with little Ruby. As for Ruby...she came to TX never eating human food....and left after snacking on a lot of cheerios, goldfish and teddy grahams! Sorry Sarah...that is life with a toddler! Hopefully she won't become a beggar for you.
On Saturday, I took Julia to gymnastics and it was great being back in the gym with her (J.D. has been going with her the last few months). She is doing great and wants to do all the activities by herself (miss independent!). We all went to the park later that day and took advantage of the gorgeous fall weather. Julia had a great time on the swings, tire swing and slides while Luke enjoyed the fresh air (and being held). The dogs wanted to come but we left them home..maybe next time pooches!
Sunday was Halloween so we carved pumpkins and went trick or treating. Well-I took Julia trick or treating while Sarah stayed home with Luke and the dogs and handed out candy. Julia LOVED her fairy princess costume (we also painted her nails purple so they color coordinated with her outfit..I let her paint my nails as well...let's just say my hands were almost completely purple afterward) and had a fabulous time in the neighborhood. She did a great job saying "Happy Halloween!" and/or "Trick or Treat!" as well as "thank you" and "have a great night." We saw well over 100 kids in the neighborhood (which was very exciting, we barely saw any in our FL neighborhood) and she wanted to follow the big kids around. 
She literally power walked from house to house and when I finally maneuvered her back to our cul-de-sac the little stinker told me she wanted more candy and turned around and started running to more houses. I had to literally pick her up and carry her home! The next morning, she ran downstairs and looked out the front window and asked us "Where did the kids go?" We explained Halloween is just once a year. I let her try a few pieces of candy last night-she took a bite of a kit kat, then spit it out, and repeated that process for a few more pieces. That's my girl..she is not into sweets!
In Luke news, we went to the doctor last week for his 2-week check up and he is 7lb 10oz. The doctor was impressed with his weight gain! He is also almost 23". He's a growing boy, that is for sure! He is doing great, although he still wants to be held ALL THE TIME. It's cute during the day, not so cute at night. Hopefully he grows out of it. I'm totally in love with my little cuddle bug though-he is so adorable!! Julia loves him as well and still wants to hold him all the time and gives him kisses quite often. I love my life!

Julia looks so cute in her costume! And Luke is changing so much! You have such a cute family! :)
I had THE BEST time! (So did Ruby!) We both miss you and the kids SOOO much!!! Julia was as adorable as ever and Luke is just the sweetest little nugget! Big hugs and kisses to all of you! I miss being woken up early in the morning by Julia crawling into my bed and saying, "Hi Ruby, hi Sarah!"
Glad to hear you so happy. We all can't wait to see those adorable munchkins in person! Won't be long!
