Still here, just busy!

Father's Feast at the twins' pre-school.

Paul was out of town on business so I missed a little work to be there for a bit and Gigi and G-pa were able to come for the whole thing. It was soooooooooooo hard to leave as Emma was clinging to me like a little monkey, complete with teary eyes and trembling lower lip. Lauren was fine with me leaving, and.....they both were fine after I left and had a blast with Gigi and G-pa!

Halloween 2010

We had a great Halloween weekend starting with carving pumpkins Friday night, having a blast at the ArBOOretum Saturday(pics to come), and trick-or-treating with friends Sunday night. The girls got SO MUCH candy, seriously, more than 5 gallon size bags filled to bursting! We are going to go through it all this weekend and donate most of it to an organization here in Cypress that will send it to the troops overseas. :)

Cruisn' 2010

Karen, Jackie, and I had a wonderful time, even on a Carnival cruise! We actually made it to BOTH ports (Progresso and Cozumel) and spent the whole trip laughing. Already looking forward to a future trip.... :)

Twins' First Day of Pre-School

Emma and Lauren had their first day of pre-school today at the Bobcat Den at Cy-Fair High School. It is run by one main teacher and lots of high school students, it's a wonderful program! They had a great day and had lots to tell me when they got home!
