Happy Thanksgiving!

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving with a lot of our family this year. Eric's brother's and their families were all in town and we had all of the aunts, uncles, cousins, and grandparents at Mimi's house for turkey day. Here are some pictures that Pam took of all of us that night. She did a great job, especially considering the chaos going on around her. (The kitchen sink started leaking in the middle of picture taking and all the men were trying to be plumbers!!)

The Tee Pee

Thank you Michael & Ann Thompson!! Taylor loves the tee pee you sent! She asks us to put up her "tent" and likes to look out the window at us. I'm sure she and her friends will enjoy many hours of pretend play with it!

For Aunt Becky.....

who's been begging for more pictures....here's a little of October with Taylor.

Eric and Rachel at the F-2 Reunion after the K-State game.

Anna, Kinley, Taylor, and Luke at the Houston zoo.

Crashed out! Sometimes eating is just too much of a workout!

This was the first time Taylor had pigtails!! Isn't she cute??

Tay decided to pose for me. She is just so proud of her rainboots. She has even learned how to put them on all by herself. And if she's wearing boots then she MUST wear a hat as well!

Playground Pics

We took Taylor to the playground during our off time with the hurricane and met up with the Bartkowiaks. Taylor and Luke have so much fun playing together!!

Taylor's First A&M Game

We took Taylor to her first A&M game last weekend against Miami. (We lost :( ) But she had a fun time and it was nice to do something with just the three of us.

Crashed

Taylor has been learning to live without her pacifier this week. It's seriously like breaking a habit. I took this picture of her because it was the the day after Eric had gotten her to bed without it for the first time. I tried to get her to take her nap without it and she just went back and forth between playing and crying in her crib for 3 hours. Every time I went to check on her she had some reason that she needed to get out of bed and the two times I did pick her up she just started laughing at me! So, after 3 hours I just let her get out of bed to play. She eventually asked to watch Pooh Bear on the tv so I put a movie in for her. 5 minutes later I came in to check on her and she was passed out! We have since had better luck with bedtimes although she does still occasionally ask for her "paf".

Tay Tay Look Like Daddy!

We took this picture tonight before Taylor went to bed. She looked so much like her Daddy that I had to post this! She even told me, "Tay Tay look like Daddy." They're so cute!
