Sometimes I feel like I don't have time to breathe...

...which is rather unfortunate, because I'm not very good at holding my breath.

So much has happened that I don't know what to catch up on. And honestly it will probably be very little. So here is a brief summary: Tessa started violin (which means I am at the Suzuki Institute 4 days a week). Max is in kindergarten (full day here in Texas). Tessa started preschool with Miss Allie. Max lost his first tooth opening a Fiber One bar. I ran a super slow marathon. Ella started walking (11 months). Ella celebrated her 1st birthday. Tyler started drilling with the National Guard once a month in San Antonio. We've caught every cold bug imaginable. We got our family pictures (oh, the stress). I made a Halloween costume (my worst ever). I'm sure this doesn't sound like a lot, but I have definitely been overwhelmed these past couple of months. Here's to hoping things settle down...with the holidays approaching I'm sure that's going to happen!

Little Tiger


Tessa wanted to be a jaguar but made due with a pink/purple tiger. She's quite pleased with herself right now.
And Max refused to have his face painted, but I'm pretty sure he regretted it when he saw a kid with his face like Spider-Man. Ella ate a granola bar and ended up with oats and chocolate all over her face, and we called that good for her.

Max is super happy because I told him he could pick out a pumpkin. He is always super happy when he knows he's going to get something. You CAN buy this kid's love.
Here is Ella staring down the pumpkin. The girl with the giant eyes can stare down anyone...and anything.
