Getting Ready for Baby...

We have at most just over 17 weeks left until the arrival of baby boy number two. No, there is no name...you will know when there is! Things will have to monogrammed and labeled, so it will come before the actual day! We are getting a pretty good head start on the basic necessities. The diapers are being collected, the new outfits are being bought (Hayden's newborn stuff is all the wrong season :-)), the furniture is here, and the bedding has been narrowed down. For now, everything is just piled up in the guest room :-)




Hayden has a favorite new baby item...the snap and go stroller. He was so excited to see that Mimi got him a new buggy for his elephants and puma cat!

Back to School!

Hayden headed back to his wonderful pre-school last Wednesday. Sadly it was during a topical storm, and we couldn't do a traditional picture outside nor could he play on the playground. Poor teachers!! He went right in this year all by himself, with no tears, and has been doing great every day since. He goes 3 days a week this year! His new teacher seems really great, and his assistant teacher is the same from last year, so he is really excited about that.

Posing on the first day...before we entered the stormy weather!

The second day, for an outside picture :-)

Last year when Hayden started school, I tried to come up with a 'tradition' we could start every year on the first day of school. So again this year we did a special cake and a little present!

Already working in his new cutting practice book!

Cowboys Classic: TCU 30 - OSU 21

We headed to Cowboys Stadium, the home of the Dallas Cowboys, to attend TCU's season opener! It was a great day, especially since we won. We did some tailgating before hand, with burgers and hot dogs, and luckily the weather has finally 'cooled' slightly to a comfortable low 90's. It was really neat to see the stadium, considering Cowboys tickets cost an exorbitant amount and we probably would never have seen the stadium otherwise! It is about as big as it could be!!

Heading into the game!

Inside and the world's biggest TV screen...the lighting came out a bit off with the roof in the stadium open.

We had great seats right at the bottom of this staircase (first row!) and right against the gray platform...thank you Groupon!!!

Go Frogs (times 5)!!! I never caught him when he was just doing the two
fingers :-)

Congrats to the TCU Horned Frogs on your first victory of the season! We are looking forward to another great 12 weeks of college football fun :-)
