Emry Visits!

Amy and Emry were nice enough to come visit us while Matt was out of town for a week.  I'm so thrilled that they are closer for now--we have so much catching up to do!  Lyla and Emry haven't had many chances to play together, which makes me sad because I know they would be best of friends like their mommies. 



    

     

     

Thanksgiving 2012

This holiday is absolutely worth giving a little love to.  After all, we have so much to be thankful for.  My Mom and Dad hosted Raab Thanksgiving this year and were great hosts as usual!  Matt's family celebrated at his Aunt Charlotte's in Dime Box.  We were sad to miss it but look forward to spending Christmas with them!

This photo really captures the season.  (notice the beatiful foliage in the background)

Family Photo Shoot 2012

It was a long time coming...just a few of the many.

Annual Fredericksburg Trip 2012

Fredericksburg is one of my favorite places to visit, especially during the holidays.  Each shop, and there are several, is decorated to the hilt as is the entire town.  For a Christmas lover like me, it's next to Heaven.  Unfortunately, I was busy shopping and missed many photo ops but I did manage to snap a few during down times.

In no way do I endorse this picture...

Playing Catch Up...

Halloween has passed but yet, I feel obligated to share pictures of Lyla.  I loved her costume this year.  She really pulled it off.  I know this post would've been more appropriate about a month ago, but such is life.

First we celebrated Halloween in Austin:

 



 Heeeeeere's Dorothy!

Cousin Love

Livvy was having issues with her antennae

 

All the kiddos...

She's braver than I am!

And we celebrated in Brenham:

 



 

 Happy to be Dororthy!
