Giving Thanks

We definitely have a lot to be thankful for in 2012.  Thanksgiving week was wonderful!  I couldn't ask for a more enjoyable week spending time with ALL of our family and wonderful friends.


This picture cracks me up!  Waiting to meet the girls from Hallettsville.

Gentry's beautiful baby quilt Aunt Madelon and Mamaw made.  We chose the fabric back in May so I was so excited to see the finished product.

The polka dot print is the fabric on the back.




My favorite patterns.

The quilt looks SO perfect in her room!

Random Happenings

Nap time at our house often looks like this...

Baby and dog both in my lap!



We made our first road trip with G last Sunday to Beaumont so she could meet her extended family.  I forgot to take a picture before we left our house and forgot when we got to Beaumont, so this is the best I could do while in the car.





 And it was Patton's first time to share the backseat--he didn't seem thrilled but he managed:)




Meeting Colonel for the first time




and Aunt Susan




and Great Grandma Severance




and Cousin Jack



We had such a fabulous day and can't wait until Thanksgiving to see everyone again.


Halloween was pretty uneventful around here.  We only had a couple of trick-or-treaters and way too much leftover candy.  I received the cutest onesie/ballerina outfit at one of my baby showers and it made for a great baby Halloween costume.  



We decided yesterday we were so deprived of our beloved Mexican food that we would take a chance while she napped and go for a quick late lunch.  She was great...

The ladies that always serve us at the restaurant just loved meeting her!


We had Gentry's newborn pictures taken when she was one week old and I finally received the photos and OMG--they are fabulous!  Erin Carlyle at www.erincarlylephotography.com is AMAZING.  Here are a couple of my favorites...



Yes, I had to bring these booties!



I wonder what she's thinking about--ha!


Can you believe it's already November?  This is my favorite time of year, but the temp. could drop a little (ok, a lot to make me happy)!  Oh well, I cannot wait for Thanksgiving--my favorite meal of the year shared with family and great friends.

Until next time...
