Morgan's Second Halloween
Sorry for the very belated posting of Morgan's pictures in her Halloween costume. Obviously none of them turned out very good. Even after three attempts, these are still the best I could come up with. You'll just have to take me at my word that she was one mighty cute ladybug :)

Travelin' Girls
The last week of October my mother-in-law Linda , Morgan and I took a four day trip to L.A. This was a pretty big deal since we went sans our significant others. We managed really well! Even Morgan was a great traveler. Our primary purpose was to visit with Linda's grandmother (and therefore Morgan's great-great-grandmother) who soon will be 107! Granny loved seeing Morgan and couldn't say enough great things about her - in fact, she predicted Morgan will be a valedictorian :) We'll see... It was a great time for all of us. We look forward to going back with the entire family in two weeks for Granny's birthday celebration.

Nothing better than chasing sea gulls, right?

GO VOTE!!
Hey friends! It's FINALLY election day. After 21 months of being inundated with this political mess all over the news, we can finally see an end in sight (praise the Lord!!). Don't overlook what a privilege it is to VOTE and live in this great country. Please get out and vote today - regardless of who you vote for. This is an important and highly polarized election so expect (and don't be deterred by) long election lines. Be educated and prayerful about your choice then grab a bunch of friends and head to the poll!
Voting is your civic responsibility. If you don't vote, I don't want to hear you complain for the next four years, got it? :)

Pumpkins
It's that time of year again ... FALL!! I just love fall. Unfortunately, Texas doesn't really get how to do fall. It feels like fall for very limited hours of the day here - like until 10 a.m. and after 9 p.m. Accordingly, I've been trying to get outside as much during those times as possible.
Kristi and I took Audrey and Morgan for their Second Annual Pumpkin Patch trip this year. It was a lot of fun! It's hard to believe last year when we did this our "pumpkins" were both under four months old (what were we thinking?!?). I couldn't decide which pictures of M with the pumpkins I liked best so I included probably more than you want to see. Hope you find one that makes you smile! To make the pictures bigger, you can double-click on them.
Look at how gorgeous the weather was!
For comparison's sake, here are some "Then & Now" photos depicting last year's trip and this year's:

2008 - Audrey giving Morgan a kiss.
(The frame right before this she was whacking Morgan on the head :)
2007 - When they'd stay put wherever you left them!
This time we had to constantly keep tabs on who was running where.

Walk This Way
The day has come ... Morgan is a member of the walking world! Now it's time for this mommy to put on her running shoes. Thankfully, for now, she has started off slowly. However, I don't think it's going to take too long. We're so proud of our baby and feel incredibly blessed to be part of her growth process.

Smile pretty
Recently, we had our incredibly talented photographer friend Bre take some pictures of Morgan and our family. The shoot only lasted about an hour - only as long as Morgan would tolerate (which wasn't that long considering she was tired and we had her dressed in a sweater dress and cotton tights while it was nearly 90 degrees outside!). Nonetheless, Bre worked effortlessly and efficiently and got several fantastic shots. Now comes the miserable task of narrowing down which ones we want!Check out several of the other great pictures Bre captured of us on her blog, and check out some of her other work at her studio's website. We can't recommend her highly enough!
