A great Halloween

There has definitely been a delay in posting this but I am happy to report that we had a great Halloween here in Austin. Pierce and Curtis joined me at my office for a Halloween party this afternoon . P was a bit shy at first, with so many new people, but then enjoyed visiting with everyone, getting great snacks and playing with a co-workers pet hermit crabs. Afterwards, Pierce and Curtis went to a few houses in the neighborhood while I gave every last piece of candy to the surprising number of children.

P is for Pumpkin!

I was just looking through some photos on my "puter"(as Pierce says it) and found this photo from Pierce's first Halloween. He and I went up to visit Shelly and Jeff in Boston when he was just four months old. How cute was this little pumpkin!

Mocha :)

Monica (aka "Aunt Mocha") came to visit while Curt was out of town this last week and we had a great time. Pierce played hooky from daycare one day, was picked up every other day and was showered by love and presents while his "Aunt Mocha" was in town. Monica had to head back to New Orleans so we are looking forward to our trip down there to visit in the beginning of December.

Halloween... a little early!

Pierce insisted he wanted to be a super hero for Halloween this year. And despite my best efforts to convince him he needed to be a fireman or really anything but a super hero, we ended up letting him choose... and he chose Batman. I have to admit he looks pretty cute in his costume. We have started Halloween early this year as Pierce wants to transform into Batman everyday :)

Weekend Visitors

Last weekend, our house was a hub activity. We had our first visitors while in Austin - Mimi came in on Thursday evening and Shelly, Katherine and Baby Annie flew in from Boston on Friday afternoon. Our house felt quite empty once everyone left on Monday and left us thinking about how fun it would be to live closer to each other but we had a wonderful weekend! It was especially fun to see Annie for the first time and Pierce and Katherine were great playmates all weekend. We hit our favorite Mexican restaurant, the Salt Lick in Driftwood, Barton Springs Pool and the fountain at Town Lake Park.

"Fun" Raiser :)

We just made it back from a "Fun" Raiser at a local market/ park for Pierce's preschool. I arrived a little late after fighting traffic, to find Pierce having a great time. Curtis was a little exhausted from the fun that Pierce was having but it was great. Pierce listened to music, had a fire truck painted on his face and enjoyed hanging out with Graham, a new friend from his class.
