So Thankful

Again this year we get visitors, Yeah!!! My mom and stepdad, Steve drove down from Kansas City. Klaus was delighted & surprised they brought along their black lab, Rowdy. We enjoyed being able to lounge around the house, ate a great feast on Thursday that continued on through the weekend. Friday we went out to dinner at our favorite Thai restaurant. Gosh we love that place. We packed a lunch and spent the day at the park with the dogs. The dogs loved being able to swim in the lake. We played games, watched movies, and of course, took naps. It's nice to live out in the 'hill country' so that our guests can come and relax.

Happy Halloweenie!

Every year we get together with our friends Jenny and John to trick-or-treat in their neighborhood. Abby was a 'Witchy Kitty' that half way into the journey shed her witch hat w/ green braided headband. Then it was the mask. Comfort is what I say too. Miranda on the other hand was so stuffed with balloons that she was waddling all over the place. Quite funny. She hung with Maile (3yrs old). I said to "Miranda it's nice that you are going door-to-door with Maile". She said, "She waits for me". So slow and slower went together while Abby and Emma (11 yrs old) ran from house to house. This year was great because it was one big circle and on the final stretch the girls were both ready to be done. We checked out the loot and both girls crashed on the drive home. We missed Shawn going with us. His good buddy John was in from Boston and so they were partying it up together.
