Enjoying Fall

Greetings! The last several weeks have been full of excitement as we have been enjoying fall, even if has not felt very "fallish." We visited a local pumpkin patch for some super cute pictures of Caroline. And, early in the month, we traveled to Lafayette for Josh's cousin's wedding. We had a nice time, and Caroline had a BLAST at the reception. Cannot say much for our experience at the wedding ceremony. She is not a bit shy, and loves to dance in the center of everything. I wonder where she gets that?! Must be her daddy, right? Ha!
And, she also loved staying in the hotel. Here are a few shots of her "livin' it up!"
Halloween also came and went and she had a large day at school where they trick-or-treated the church offices and went on a hayride. Her class was so cute! She was a very tired mouse when she got home. Therefore, we chose to not trick-or-treat Friday night, but stayed in. I think she loved giving away candy as much as getting it! Every time the doorbell rang, she would squeal and run to the door. She was most generous with her candy too. We ran out very early, but that was OK by me!

The following night we went to Henslee's birthday party, which was a dress-up party. The kids were really cute!
Fall is also never complete with FOOTBALL! And, this year, more than ever...we have been glued to the Tech games. After the nail-biting win over Texas, we have been so pumped...
Go Red Raiders!

Josh has been working hard with Caroline to teach her how to say "Go Red Raiders" with her guns up. She made her daddy proud when we traveled to Lubbock at the first of November for the OSU game.

Her favorite parts of the game was when the masked rider rode across the field, and the announcer saying..."And another Red Raider, FIRST DOWN!"

Since Tech dominated the field for most of the game, this became a common saying throughout the game. Caroline really got into it. I guess she is going to be a Tech fan, after all! And, of course we had to end the evening with a cup of $5 hot chocolate and a shoulder ride with her daddy...priceless!

Hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving. I will try and do better in getting more pictures up in a timely fashion!
