A Fresh Start

Here we are all fresh and anew sharing the daily (or weekly, or biweekly, depending on how busy I am) comings and goings of our happy family of three. Our former website is on hold right now since the hard drive on our computer crashed and all our data (including my website) was taken with it. We are in the process of trying to retrieve that data, but we'll see. . . . . you can see any previous pictures, video, and blogs at web.me.com/falatfam. Our initial time for that website is up in February anyway, and we have to pay to continue it, so I thought we'd check out blogspot for a while. A lot of my friends use it, so I thought I'd try it out for now since I can't use my other and I might just decide to stick with it.

So, here are a few highlights of the past couple of weeks:

We've been to the zoo, to see Sesame Street Live, to ride the train around the zoo and park, to the Japanese Tea Gardens, on a couple of playdates, to a couple of Spurs games, to the mall, to take pictures with the Spurs Coyote, on a trip to the hill country for a picnic . . . . Addy and I have had quite the social life lately! (And Evan on occasion - poor guy actually has to work!)
Addy celebrated her 7 month birthday!
Addy is officially crawling and pulling up on everything! I've got to get this house child-proofed! Life is rapidly changing! She's not real fast yet, but if she really wants something, she can make it across the room. And, now every time we go into her room because she is crying, we find her standing up holding on to the bars and giving us quite the pouty look. She is just so adorable! Even when she's throwing a fit! :o)

We enjoyed a potluck-style Thanksgiving with our small group at the home of the Whitakers. We had a really nice time hanging out with these friends!

I'm sure there have been many more things, but here is a start. Maybe I can keep up on this new format . . . we'll see. I'll leave you with a few pics:

In Bandera on picnic day . . . .

With the Coyote, the Spurs Mascot . . . . Addy thought he was just a big teddy bear!

Addy enjoyed her Thanksgiving Dinner - she tested the mashed potatoes and broccoli casserolle, but mostly ate her oat cereal, pureed apricots, and sweet potato puffs.

Addy loved Lauren's swing . . . this was pretty much her first time in a swing like this and as you can tell, we might need to find a way to get her one like this!
