Thanksgiving Feast & Fun with Emma Kate Rains

Abby's preschool had a Thanksgiving feast on Friday. The children performed a precious song about a Thanksgiving turkey and then we feasted on delicious food. Abby did a wonderful job during the performance!

This past weekend the Rains family came to visit us in SA. On Saturday we took the girls downtown to the market and out to eat at Mi Tierra. Thanks for a great visit, Rains Family!

Houston Trip

Last Monday Abby and I took a little road trip to Houston to visit some of my best friends. We had a wonderful time and it was so good to be able to catch up with all that is going on in their lives.

Abby and Chloe (Kelly's daughter)

Cute Chloe - Abby actually took this picture. She is very into taking pictures whenever we have the camera out. This happens to be the best one she's ever taken! Abby and Chloe had a great time playing together during our visit.

Abby took this picture of her shoes. I didn't see it until I went to upload pictures. Pretty good for an almost-three-year old.

We also got to meet little Maylee Grace Wells, the second daughter of our good friends Adam and Katie Wells. I wish I had gotten a picture. We'll just have to get together again soon.

Thanks for a great trip to Houston, sweet friends!

Playing Dress Up

Here is a cute picture of Abby and her little friend Sara Kate playing dress up.

Weekend Update

We had a great/fun/busy weekend! Abby and I made a last minute trip to Temple Friday afternoon since Matthew had to work all weekend (we really missed him!). We spent Friday night with family and our precious friends, the Dickersons. Abby was so excited to get in some trick or treating with her best buddy Annie. Uncle B called us last week asking if Abby wanted to be in the Baylor Homecoming Parade on Saturday morning - of course we couldn't pass up this offer! So we all woke up very early Saturday morning to make it to Waco in time for the parade. Uncle B drove Hannah, his girlfriend and his fraternity's homecoming queen nominee, in the parade and Abby got to ride next to her. Hannah said that several little girls along the path of the parade asked if Abby was a princess! Abby was wearing her Halloween princess costume, of course. Abby and I drove home to San Antonio in time for dinner with Daddy. Thankfully Sunday was a quiet day with church, naps and some fun family time.
Enjoy the pictures from the weekend!
