Peter Pan

Grammy picked up Hudson Monday morning and brought him back dressed like Peter Pan. She had sewn him a precious costume so that he could be his favorite character. Thanks Grammy!
He has been Peter Pan ever since. We let him wear it to his bowling party, but had to draw the line at the Thanksgiving service.

Nate and Hudson Hudson bowling at his birthday party with the Scheffler cousins.

Cosmic Bowling with the cousins

Annie girlying it up with her baby plus it kept her from crawling on the nasty floor.
First time overstimulated by video games.....aaagh!! All my kids were mesmerized the entire time by all the lights and sounds and videos.

Thanks Grandmommy for the fun!

Our Girly Girl

Annie loves all things girly. One of her few words is "bow" and when I say "where's your purse?", she crawls away to find it. She hauls it around and pushes her baby stroller all day. Too cute!

This is a video of Annie doing something weird with her ear, and also her hiking her purse up for the first time. The voice you hear in the background is Hudson wondering if Annie is going to Sonic or Wal-Mart.

Birthday Bash!

We celebrated Cyndy's 60th birthday with a dinner party. The night was full of surprises! She knew that we were having a dinner for her, but she didn't know that her mother, sister, brother, neice (and her hubby) would be there. Later on in the evening Frank surprised her with a trip that will include her sons and wives to Napa Valley, CA. It was a night that I will never forget!

Camping

Our first family camp out to Daingerfield State Park. We truly beheld God's glory in the beauty. It's a good thing it was beautiful because it was cold and let's face it...camping is hard work especially with a two year old and a baby. It was worth the work and we had a wonderful time full of adventures and sweet moments with family around the campfire.

Daingerfield State Park

Hiking with pokey puppy Hudson makes you stop and smell the roses. Thanks Hud.

The big boys loved gathering firewood, protecting "princess Annie" and going after the red-eyed bear.

I think the hike will definitely be memorable for Annie.

Wow! The changing of the leaves was breathtaking!

The boys defending the campsite.

Did I mention the beauty?.... and that b/c we went after the time change the sun started setting at 3:30 making it cold and pitch black by 5:30...fun!
