Spooky Kooky Family Night

    On Thursday evening we went to Spooky Kooky Family Night at Connor's school. It was our first family event at his school since he started, so I was excited to see what it was all about. The evening began with entertainment from Connor's class alongside a few other four year old classes. It was really cute. They acted out a book while the librarian read it, then sang a few songs.

Olivia: Two Month Check-Up

    Yesterday Olivia had her two month appointment. She is doing great and growing so fast! She was such a good girl and didn't cry until it was time for her shots.

Olivia: Two Months Old

Olivia Ann,

      Happy T W O month birthday my littlest love. You have been super fussy today, so I had a little bit of a hard time getting your pictures, but that's how life is so we will just roll with it. You are a little bit of a fussier baby compared to your brother, and that's okay. We just have lots of snuggles  and I hold you a lot. Since you are our last baby, I am enjoying every minute because I know how fast you're going to grow. I love you so much Livie!

XOXO,

Mommy

Aaron's Promotion to SSG

    On Sunday, October 1st, Aaron was promoted to Staff Sergeant. He has been waiting for a long time for this promotion. He has been promotable for over a year, but had to wait until he was sent to ALC. He was finally sent when we moved to Texas and completed the course the week before Olivia was born. Yesterday was his promotion ceremony. Aaron asked his dad to pin him, so he drove down yesterday morning to be here. 

   The ceremony was short and sweet, which was good because it was delayed and we were hot from standing outside. Olivia, who slept the entire time we were waiting, started to get upset as soon as the ceremony started. It was too bright and hot for her, so I don't blame her. Afterwards Aaron had to go straight to staff duty, so we didn't get to celebrate with him, but we are proud of him and he knows it!

Pumpkins, Gourds, and Harvest Corn, Oh My!

    Last weekend we went to the Dallas Arboretum for the second year in a row. This time it was even better because Aaron was with us and we had an extra little pumpkin in our family. This year the theme was The Wonderful World of Oz. We traveled through Pumpkin Village on a yellow brick road just like in the movie. It was really cute. Connor had fun running around picking out his favorite pumpkins and going through the children's hay maze. Olivia slept the entire time. As you can see in the last picture she decided to wake up as soon as we got home, but was still yawning.
