Happy Halloween from Little House on the Prairie

Mary and Laura Ingalls-

Ava and Sophia were watching the classic episodes with me last spring and both agreed they would like to dress up like Mary and Laura. Ava said "They have three girls in their family and so do we!" SO

Here is Carrie IngallsI looooove Little House on the Prairie so I was very excited that my girls were into that this year. Everyone knew who they were when we trick or treated which was fun for them.

Ava's Sunshine Performance (& Solo part!)

Ava started her third semester of Sunshine Generation a few months ago. It is a local singing and dancing group. She practices every Monday and has performances all over Dallas. She loves it and it has been quite the confidence builder for her. Here she is singing the closing song on the mike with a solo at Saturday's performance. Watch for a minute and she is the third solo after the second chorus "Everything seems big when your sooo small, but one day soon it's gonna change when you start to get tall"- quite appropriate for our little Ava. She takes a cute bow at the end. Dan and I and Sophia were looking on quite proudly as she nailed her part.

TaTa

Grandpa Kerbey, Uncle Kris, and Aunt Mariah (better known by the girls as "TaTa") were in town last weekend. We enjoyed having them around and as you can see from the pics the girls looooove their Aunt- even little Esme was excited to be with her!

Pumpkin Patch

We had a great time at the pumpkin patch Tuesday morning with our friends Amanda and Edith! We are getting really excited for the holidays over here!

A little on each of us

DAN- so Kris came in town the other day from Kentucky and the two twinkies were wearing the same shirt! Dan's mom and me and the girls thought it was really cute- I don't know if they did but I snapped a pic anyway. Sophia was a little confused at first and several times said "Daddy, you look like Uncle Kris." Here they are watching a bit of the Rugby World Cup- these two really should live in the same city! CASSIE- This shows how happy I have been- all of us have been- having Ghislaine in town. She flew back home Monday :( AVA- Reading,Reading,Reading! Seriously, for hours everyday! when she isn't reading she is singing- and sometimes she is reading her lyrics! I think Esme might follow in her footsteps. SOPHIA-Everyday she dresses up like a princess- and everyday she says "I can do it by myself" Here she is trying to convince me to let her make her peanut butter toast all by herself...how could I say no :) ESME- FOUR months OLD, petite, in the Middle, baby TALK, playing with TOYS, and OH that Hair...
