San Antonio

Patrick and I took Will to San Antonio for a night...just the 3 of us. He has settled in so well to being a big brother, but we know he misses having us all to himself. So, we thought a little getaway would be perfect. At first he was upset that Scott was not going ... he thought we were leaving him by himself! Once we explained he was going to Baytown, it was okay. We left Scott in Baytown Saturday night and headed home so we could get up and get on the road early. Will is a great traveler. He looks around, sings, talks to us and enjoys being in the car. Once we got there (after a stop at Bucee's of course!!) we checked into our hotel, and headed out to explore. Will wanted to see guns and swords (totally random request, he is ALL BOY) so, we took him to the Alamo. He enjoyed it, but it got old pretty quick...you do have to be quiet! We then took him to the Children's Museum and he had a blast! He played, learned, and grocery shopped. Afterwards we grabbed lunch and all took a nap in the hotel (heaven!). We wanted to wait until dark to do the boat ride so that we could fully enjoy the lights. He thought the boat ride was the greatest thing ever ... and kept telling people, "This is my first time in San Antonio!" We had dinner afterwards, and took him to eat ice cream. This morning we enjoyed a little San Marcos outlet shopping, then rushed to Baytown because we all missed Scott. It was a wonderful day/night alone with our oldest boy. We wanted him to know Mommy and Daddy love him very much...even though he has to share us now!

They grow up so fast...

Big Brother and Little Brother ... where did my itty-bittys go??

November in Pictures....

Busy, busy month! I am back at work, Scott is staying with YaYa until January, and Will also stays with her 2 days. Getting back into the swing of things with two kiddoes is WORK! I feel like there are not enough hours in the day...below are a bunch of pictures from the month (and they are not in order because Blogger posts them in a funky order...and like I said, I have 2 kids so I am too tired to fix it).

Scott updates: He is sleeping pretty well. Some nights he wakes up, others he doesn't. Either way, we are blessed because he goes back to sleep.... He loves his exersaucer, and prefers to stand. He just turned 3 months yesterday and is fitting in 6 month clothes, some 9 month things. He smiles, laughs, coos, and is an absolute joy!

Will updates: He is a character. The child cracks us up...he can also make us really mad! He can be such a stinker. I joke with him (but he does not know I am joking) that his ears are broken and we are going to have visit Dr. Herrin so he can fix them. But, overall I still think he is one of the sweetest, smartest little boys around. He loves school, and has never met a stranger. He loves everyone.

Way to go, Daddy!

Patrick completed his second half ironman on Sunday; that is a 1.2 mile swim, 56 mile bike ride, and a 13.1 mile run. He trained so hard for this, and did an amazing job! He finished in 5:05, beating his time last year by 45 MINUTES! We are so proud of Daddy and his amazing accomplishment. We are going to enjoy the next couple weeks where he is home a little more...that is until Ironman Texas training starts in January(in The Woodlands in May).

Trunk or Treat

Will had a blast getting candy, and playing games at Trunk or Treat this year. This is the first year he has really enjoyed it and understood what he was supposed to be doing. Scott was happy just hanging out in his stroller looking around. It was funny how many people loved Will's costume...I guess it just is not common so people thought it was pretty funny seeing a little guy in a UPS costume. Halloween was a success this year! The only problem is now Will thinks that he can be a "dewivery man" any time he wants. He loves dresing up in costume...

Zoo Boo!

More pictures to come once Amy sends them to me....but here are a few!

Yes, Will is a UPS guy. He loves delivery trucks, and thinks delivery men are so cool. He got so many compliments on his costume at the zoo!
