So, no big surprise that I have not been able to keep up with my blogs like I said I would (that was back in October after having not posted one in over 2 months). So, I may just have to post one giant blog every month to chronicle what we have been up to in that month. At the rate I’m going, I’ll be lucky to write a blog quarterly.
At the end of October we went to San Angelo to visit my parents and to celebrate Jack’s first birthday. My Aunt Kathy and Uncle Niko were visiting from Boston. My brother, Joe, was also visiting my parents. My other brother, Matt, lives in San Angelo. So it was a family reunion of sorts. We had a great time. Joe has recently taken up photography as his latest hobby. He bought a new camera for over $2000. It takes amazing pictures, especially compared to our camera. Joe spent most of his time taking pictures of the family. It was so nice not to have to worry about snapping pictures of our own. Luckily he should be there for Christmas, so maybe we’ll get some decent pictures then too.
We were hoping to find a local Halloween party to go to since we would be missing our church party. But for some reason in San Angelo, they had all either already happened or were going to be on Sunday. So, we (I think it was my Mom’s idea) decided to get the kids dressed up in their costumes and send Allie around the doors of the house to get candy. We had a ton of people there, so first Allie went to all of the outside doors and then she went to the inside bedroom doors. She had a great time and was quite excited by all of the candy that she got.

Allie wanted in on Jack's pumpkin pics
The closest thing to a decent family picture that we'll have for a while

What a happy little pumpkin
My Mom got Allie a cowboy hat while we were in West Texas (how fitting). She decided to put it on with her butterfly costume.
For some reason my Mom thought that the people who were passing candy out to Allie should also dress up. I reminded her that usually only the tricker-treaters dress up. Her dramatic side really comes out when she is with her sisters
Nana looking beautiful
This picture of my Dad's dog ("Girlie Dog" -that's the best name he could come up with for her) was taken at night. It was completely dark, but with Joe's new camera (did I mention it cost over $2000) we could see her in the picture. We thought it was funny that she looked like she was smiling.

I think it's funny that Allie didn't want to wear the pumpkin hat two years ago, and now we have two pics of her in the hat, even though it isn't her costume anymore. Oh--do they make little boy UT cheerleader outfits? If you come into some money, maybe they could both be cheerleaders next year. That would be cute!
