Package for Ruby

My mom sent Ruby a fun Halloween book in the mail. It had all sorts of neat fold out pieces...Ruby loved the package! Thanks mom.

Annette's Shower

I hosted a small baby shower for my good friend Annette who will soon have her second child. We can't wait to meet little Sofia!





I went with a girly pumpkin theme and the decorations came out cute...





I made pumpkin cupcakes with cream cheese icing...








...and this mother-to-be corsage for Annette.

Visit from the Goodell Grandparents

A few weekends ago my parents came in town for a short visit. They got to spend time with Ruby and we all went out for dinner. I wish they were closer so we could see them more often!

Ruby amongst the Arboretum pumpkins

Ruby is sure getting to see lots of pumpkins this fall. She hugs and kisses them.





I made her this tutu and shirt just for the occasion.




Catch me if you can mama!





Such a fun day out with my cute daughter!

Meeting Allison

Alex, Ruby and I took some dinner over to my friend Jennifer who just had her baby girl, Allison in the last week. She is beautiful! I forgot what it was like to hold such a tiny baby.

Ruby also got to visit with Thomas who is one of buddies from our playgroup.

Date night!

Alex and I enjoyed a random weeknight date! We went to Hibiscus in Dallas...it was delicious. I had lobster and Alex had a nice short rib.

Thanks Macnabs for babysitting so we could enjoy an evening out!

Day at the zoo with Daddy

Alex took a random weekday off so we could all go to the zoo together (and avoid the crazy crowds at the weekends!). We had wonderful weather and got to see lots of animals. The zoo put out all sorts of fall and Halloween decorations which Ruby also enjoyed.









Daddy and Ruby feed the birds.
