my lil' bunny

Addi is a bunny this year for Halloween. This outfit adds about 5 lbs & is hot as heck, but she doesn't even notice. Thank goodness for the cool front! We spent the afternoon with the SV Mom's Club. They had a bounce house, a cupcake walk and a costume contest (the dinosaur won - which was well deserved). Addi's still #1 in my book. I was able to snap a few pictures before she pulled those ears off.

Parent Commitment

We had our Parent Commitment to Addi on Sunday night.  Instead of dedicating Addi to the Church, we dedicate us to her. I love that idea. 

Addi, I promise to be there for you. To pray with you. To pray for you. To laugh. To learn. To hold you when you don't feel good. To giggle and to play. But most importantly, to teach of you of the love of Jesus Christ. 

Psalm 78:4 We will tell the next generation the praise worthy deed of the Lord, His power, and the wonders He has done.

thank you family & friends, for making this commitment with us!

pumpkin patch

I convinced Ben this 

weekend that we needed 

to take pictures of Addi at a pumpkin patch. To which he replied, "why?". 

I said, "I dunno.... 

it's just what moms do". 

Being the wonderful husband that he is, he went along with it.

So here we go. Pictures of Addi at a pumpkin patch. 

Note: Addi is standing all by herself! 

Not that this is common-place yet, but she's trying.

I love this picture. She's such a daddy's girl. 

Little did we know that Ben's truck (parked behind the bushes), 

was getting broken into at the time. We've looked through all the pictures, thinking we'd see someone walking down the street with Addi's diaper bag. Urgg.. such is life.

college station bound

well, we're moving to Aggieland. Ben has taken a job with the A&M Foundation and it starts in less than 2 weeks! It's such a testament of what God can do!! On the same day that Ben thought he getting his severance (he works for AIG), he was signing a new job contract with A&M instead (which has been in the works for 4 months!) God is always faithful! And I'm so excited about what He has in store for us. 

At the same time, I'm so very sad to leave everything that we know and love in Houston. Family, friends, church, neighbors, Chuys... (Yes, Chuys comes in at number 5). I could go on. It's been a roller-coaster of a week, to say the least. Lots of anticipation, lots of stress and lots of tears. Please keep us in your prayers during this time of transition. 

Addi & I made a sign for Ben, once learning of the news.
