Kai, The Train Conductor

Kai has been so excited about his Halloween costume this year. He got to dress up for school today and was beyond thrilled! I hope he is just as excited for the real deal!

Yeah, the Smith fam won the jar of candy corns. Andy guessed the exact amount. I sometimes wonder about him. Peyton was soooo proud!

Happy Birthday Grandma Elly

We hope Grandma Elly had a wonderful birthday!!!

this was the best picture we could do. Sick boy Kai did not want to cooperate and sadly the camera didn't get all of Eliza. We were thinking of you on your special day!

Super Fun Fall Weekend

This past weekend was so busy and especially fun since Nonnie was here for a visit.

We experienced the 125 Texas State Fair for the first time, went to the pumpkin patch, and out to a delicious Texas style dinner with great friends.
