Happy Thanksgiving!

We've had a great day. The weather was beautiful, the turkey delicious & we have enjoyed having Sue here with us.

Quick update

Well, we have been having computer problems & therefore can't upload pictures from the camera to post on the site. I have taken some in the last few weeks with my phone though & thought I'd share them. The kids are growing and changing so much, and so quickly!
Max is a real rock-n-roll toddler - he loves pretending to play guitar and entertains us regularly with songs sung at the top of his lungs. The kid has a good set of pipes on him for sure! He loves to watch the Biscuit Brothers, Thomas the Train, Sesame Street and Austin City Limits! He also loves doing anything he sees us doing. He likes to sit near the stove with a bowl & spatula and tells us he is "cooking". When asked what he is cooking, his reply is "pizza". He also is a big helper, putting clothes in the washer & dryer, helping to put the clean dishes away, and letting Zooey in and out of the back door.
Ella is working very hard at holding her head up and practices on a regular basis. She will be moving into her own room (as soon as she gets over her cold). She has also been practicing taking the bottle from Daddy. She seems unfazed by the commotion when Max gets home from daycare & enjoys when he holds her.

Halloween

We had a wonderful Halloween. My cousin Steve, his daughter Colleen and her 6 and 3/4 years daughter Meredith (aka cousin bugs) were in San Antonio and came up with my Mom to see Ella and Max and do some trick or treating. Despite the age difference Max and Meredith got along famously. She was very good and patience with him. He enjoyed meeting one of his cousins very much. After an afternoon of playing we all set out for some trick or treating, he as a pumpkin and she as a cheerleader. Ella was not impressed with any of it and slept through the whole affair.

Ella is 3 weeks old

Doesn't seem possible but she's 3 weeks today. Her 2 week well check was last week and she's gained a little weight 9.10 oz and grown a .5 inch to 20". Here's the latest pics from the last week or so.
