I can't believe that it is almost Thanksgiving! These past few months have gone by so quickly. Michael, Lily and I are doing great. Michael is working on a new project at work. He likes this project more because he get's to work with his original group more than he was on his last project. Lily is growing up so quickly. I can't believe that she is going to be 2 in a few weeks! She loves to talk to people on the phone. In fact not a day goes by that she doesn't ask to speak to someone on the phone. She also loves to run, which I'm hoping will last forever! I am doing great too. I finally got over being sick...be careful when using antibiotics sometimes they can make you sick! Anyways I'm all better now and I am now watching my friend's kids 2-3 times a week. It's a lot of work but it's also fun having them here and I am learning so much!!!
Here are some highlights from the past month:
Michael and I competed on a relay team for our ward triathlon. Michael had originally planned on doing the whole thing by himself. However, he ended up having a busy month and wasn't able to train as much as he wanted. So we did a relay team instead. Michael biked, our friend Spencer swam and I ran. We were awarded the "I'm too lazy to do the whole thing so I get my other lazy friends to help me" award :)
We went to six flags the next weekend. It was a lot of fun except for the losing my phone part :( Michael was brave and went on all the roller coaster rides with me. There was a ride that Michael wasn't allowed to go on because he was too tall :)
We partied hard all Halloween weekend! To start things off we went to our wards Trunk or Treat. Lots of fun. The next day we invited some friends over for a Fall Fest.
It was so awesome. I think the best part was the feats of strength. We had a 3 legged race contest, stick pull, tug-a-war, sawing contest (Which Michael won!) Then on Halloween we took Lily trick or treating.
She had a lot of fun and has gained a love for candy.
Michael's mom surprised us with a visit. It was so fun having her here! She got here Halloween evening and stayed for a week.
I'm so grateful she came to visit. I was really sick by this time and had just found out that I had c-diff. The doctor had given me some medicine but it took about a week for it to really kick in and cure me. So it was nice having my mother in-law visit. She helped take care of Lily and made us some really yummy chicken noddle soup. Thanks mom. We love you so much! We showed her around Austin and went to Black's Barbeque too. Lily loved the ribs!
Then a few days later Michael's Dad, Robyn, Bryn and John and their little girl Maddy came to visit.
We had a lot of fun. By this time I was feeling a lot better and was able to do more things with the family. We went to the Alamo, the river walk, the round rock, the LBJ library and enjoyed yummy Texas BBQ!
And that is the end of the past months adventures!
