Farm Trip to the Panhandle
When Ry was 15 months old we were able to take a trip with Gilly's family to see his family's farms, where his Nana and Grandad grew up and his mom spent her summers. We enjoyed the trip to Rotan and this year we decided to take another trip to Rotan and go back one more generation and see some of Nana's past in the Floydada area. We were a little worried as to how well Ry would do in the car for such a long trip and we kept our expectations low. But she did amazing! We had lots of fun and it's great to learn about Gilly's family history.
We saw lots of cotton and took a trip to the famous Floydada pumpkin patch.
Trick or Treat
Rylynn wanted to be a princess this year, which was not at all surprising. And of course she wanted to be Sleeping Beauty (the pink one), also not surprising. We already have three pink princess dresses in our dress up box. I just couldn't bring myself to go buy another one, but I also thought it would be so anticlimatic if I made her wear one she already owned. Before this debacle, I swear I was going to conform to Gilly's request that I just buy Ry's halloween costume off the shelf this year instead of spending time creating and sewing something. I have such little free time and I told myself, he was right. And I swear if I could have talked her into a cupcake, duck or any of the other cute costumes I saw for sale I wouldn't have gone to the trouble... oh well, maybe next year! But this year, I went to work again! I think the dress, crown, and wand all came out pretty cute. She wore the whole get up the entire week before and was so stinkin' excited that she got to wear it to school on Halloween. We did a little trick or treating with some friends, but mainly enjoyed handing out candy.

Ry's Preschool Class  |
This year Thanksgiving was just the way it should be. It was filled with family, friends, football and lots of food! What more could we ask for?? Here are a couple of pictures from our weekend fun.

Andrea - I love to read your posts and see the pics. Even though we are so close, we seldom get to catch up with you guys. I especially love the pic of Ry waving out of the pumpkin - her little nose crinkles up when she grins and I think that is just so cute! We are so glad for the great checkup and you being able to sleep all night!!! WOOOHOOO for you! And for Ry getting to reduce her meds - what a miracle she is!
So Happy - Linda C.
