Halloween

We were invited to a friends house for Halloween this year. I had to work until about 5, but ended up working until about 7ish. Then I ran home as fast as possible got the girls fed, changed into their Halloween outfits, in the car, drove 20 miles to the place, and then the girls got passed around like crazy. We thought that it was just a smaller get together a few couples. Turned out it was a major get together and there were probably 8 couples there and their kids. It was a mess! Then the girls were over tired and started to cry, and were not having any of it. So we only ended up staying for a few hours, then left. Needless to say, we did not get any pictures of the girls on Halloween due to the circumstances.
So we had to wash their outfits and then dress them up again to make sure we documented how darling they were!!!
So here are a few after Halloween pictures!

Girls Baptism

While most of Bens family was together we decided to go ahead and get the girls baptized while we were down there. We wanted the pastor who married us to baptize the girls, and we were so glad we were able to do it.


It was so hot in the church that day, and the dressed the girls wore were quite heavy. We also had had a full day and they had missed thier nap so they were both really grumpy. Emily cried the whole service, and Ana cried in the beginning.

All in all it was a very nice service, and it was so good to have family and good friends there with us.

The weekend in Texas

While we were in Texas we stayed the weekend with my best friend down there Laura, she has a 10 month old little girl, and it was so great to see them, and hang out with her and her family. Andrea also came to visit quite a bit over the weekend, and it was so great to have girls nights! Here are some pictures of me and the girls, my best friend, her daughter and my girls godmother. I had a wonderful time.

Trip to Texas

We got some bad news week before last that Bens Grandmother had passed away. This has been pretty hard on him, and me as he was close to his Grandma, and I had become close since we started dating. I enjoyed my time everytime we visited them.


When Bens dad called and told Ben the sad news the only thing I could think of was that she was looking forward to meeting my two girls, her first great grandchildren, and we had not made it down there yet for her to do so. Also, she had asked for some pictures of them, and we had put together a book of pictures for her, got them in, and the book was so poorly done that we returned it. We had gotten another one put together and just had not gotten it ordered and sent yet. All things that I feel terrible about. I never had any great grandparents, and I was looking forward to my girls having great grandparents to dote on them, and love them. I love Bens Grandparents morals, and his grandmother would have had such a good time with these two little girls. I wish that she could have had the chance to meet them.

I was thrilled that I got home and had them meet my grandmother, and I was not even worried about not making it down to TX for his to meet them. We were planning on next spring.

So many regrets when you dont expect someone to pass.

We had a very good time down in Texas with family. We wish we were there for a different reason, but it was good to see family none the less.
