Natalie's ice skating birthday party!

Thanks, Alisa for posting your pics of Natalie's party! Maybe next time I will remember to check my camera to make sure the battery is there! I can't believe that Natalie is 11 yrs old now! Time has really flown by. We were so happy that my parents, Aunt Shirley, Aunt Alisa, Tye and Kenadie were able to be here to celebrate her birthday. We had lots of fun that weekend! After Natalie's party, we all went to see the Christmas lights at Santa's Wonderland. They were so beautiful! I will share some of those pics soon.

Dewberry Farm

I'm late posting these photos...but better late than never, right? A few weeks ago, we met my parents at Dewberry Farm for some "Fall fun". We had such a great time that we've decided to make it a yearly tradition.

Fun on Galveston Island!

This past weekend, we went to visit Coult's parents. On Saturday, they took us to Galveston for a day of fun. The girls really enjoyed riding the ferry and feeding the seagulls! We all had lots of fun playing mini-golf and eating at the Rain Forest Cafe. The weather was perfect! We had a really great time with them this weekend!

Pumpkin Time!

It's so nice to have some real fall temps lately, especially when it's time to pick out a pumpkin. This afternoon, we took the girls to a local pumpkin patch to find a pumpkin to carve. Natalie designed our jack-o-lantern this year. She did a great job! Coult carved it, as he does every year. He did a great job too! Poor guy, he gets stuck every year carving our pumpkin. But I guess that's what happens when you're the only adult in the family who has any artistic ability. I sure don't have any! Natalie also helped Coult carve her little pumpkin and Lily had fun coloring on her two little white pumpkins. Enjoy the pics!

Laurie & Aaron's Wedding

Steven's home!!!

Of course, I forgot my camera (again) when we went to the airport to meet Steven. But, I did get a few pictures at my mom & dad's the weekend he came home.

Lily's field trip to the Children's Barnyard

Lily

Lily Grace is 9 yrs old and keeps us laughing with her cute comments. She loves snails, books, and games. She absolutely adores Joshua! She has several medical challenges, including PDD-NOS, which is a form of autism. She also has a very rare genetic disorder called "Cranioectodermal dysplasia" aka Sensenbrenner Syndrome. (only 16 cases world-wide) But more importantly, she is a great example of strength and perseverance. I kept a journal of her first few years @ www.caringbridge.org/tx/lily

"Lilyisms":

Lily has no idea how much she makes us smile and laugh with her cute comments. Her Aunt Alisa calls them "lilyisms". Several people have asked me to share them, so here are a few of the more recent ones:

~Lily was trying to save something on our computer the other day and it wouldn't work. I asked her what was wrong and she said "I guess the computer ran out of "saves"!

~This week during one of her OT sessions, Lily and her therapist were using a peg board and some rubber bands to make alphabet letters. The OT told her to pick up a pink one. Lily promptly told her that it wasn't pink, it was "faded red"!

~The other afternoon, Lily could only find one of her socks. She said "Well, I guess I can only wear one shoe then!"

~On Sunday, one of Lily's previous Primary teachers saw her in the hall and leaned down to tell her hello. Instead of saying "hello" back, Lily grabbed his tie and said "That's a new tie!". He couldn't believe it! He told her that his wife hadn't even noticed his new tie!

I know there are more. As I remember them, I will add them to the list.
