Just a little busy...

I know I've been a bit behind on updating our blog recently. These last few weeks have been a little crazy for me! Dan's sister, Karin with her son, Arthur, as well as his grandma, Betty, came to town from Utah a few weeks ago. They came for my neice, Katy's blessing. We had so many fun activities while they were here - a fun girls' night at Cheddar's, lots of shopping, halloween activities, and a big family birthday celebration for Carla & Karin (they share the same birthday). Unfortunately, a stomach bug made it's way through the family while they were visiting but we still were able to have a great time together. Most of our plans were flexible. :)

It was so much fun seeing Karin's son, Arthur. He's only one week younger than Tyler so those two had a great time with each other. They spoke the same language - lots of babbling and bubbling! And they were so fascinated with each other! We got lots of laughs watching Arthur and Tyler play together. We wished they lived closer!

During all the festivities we found out that our house in Kyle will be availabe for us to move into on December 1. That's less than a month away now! So we've begun de-junking and organizing so we're only moving what we need to. I want this to be the most efficient and organized move yet - wish me luck!

And in case we weren't quite busy enough... Dan had to go to China this past week for work and will be there until the week of Thanksgiving. He was, of course, very excited about this - and I'm excited for him too, but I must say the timing stinks! Now I have the joy of packing/organizing to do myself. Plus 3 kids. I will give Dan his credit though - he went through and organized all of his things/areas of the house before he left (which let's face it were the most junked up). So I'm actually looking forward to getting everything in order for this move. And I'm always up for a challenge!

With all that's going on, please be understanding if you don't hear from me for awhile... like say January. I'll try my best to keep everyone updated on our status. And a huge thanks to all of you offering help/support right now, we really appreciate it!

Trick-or-Treat!

We went to Michael & Michelle's house in Kyle on Halloween this year. We all brought finger foods to share - the highlights were Michelle's biscuit pizzas and spider cupcakes, Yummy!! It took awhile to get all the kids in their costumes, then there was of course lots of picture-taking followed by a visit from the local witch (Grandma Carla)! The kids loved seeing her all dressed-up, and fortunately weren't too frightened. :) The weather was perfect for trick-or-treating and we walked around the neighborhood for over an hour! All the cousins and friends had so much fun and got tons of great candy. We decided that this will now be our yearly tradition - Halloween in Kyle. Thanks for hosting Michelle, we had a blast!!

Georgetown Library Halloween Party

We went to the Georgetown public library's Halloween party for our preschool field trip. All the kids dressed up in their costumes and went on a "parade" around the library. Then there was lots of treats and goodies to eat and dancing to spooky music - what fun!

Scooby Doo Halloween

We kicked off our Halloween celebrations on October 25th at the Scooby Doo Halloween party in Dripping Springs. All of Dan's family came plus his Grandma and sister, Karin, with her son visiting from Utah. The kids really enjoyed the fun activities - decorating their candy bags, fishing for candy, ring toss, face painting, and the cake walk!

After the party we went back to the Bischoff's house for some AMAZING fajitas, and lots of cake (thanks for the free dessert scooby doo!). What a fun time!
