Happy Thanksgiving!

Taylor had her first Thanksgiving at Grandma's house this year. She even had a pretty dress to wear for the event. Maybe next year she'll get to eat some of the food!

MOM, I'm tired, stop taking pictures of me!

Thank you.....

Taylor's first trip to Texas!

This past weekend, Taylor Jean got to take her first trip to Texas. We were a little nervous to make our first trip with an infant, but we had no reason to worry, she was fantastic! It also helped that Grandma came with to act as traveling nanny and to have an extra set of hands. We were amazed by how well Taylor did on the planes (only fussed after we landed each time) and kept up with us most of the weekend. She even made it to her very first UT tailgate. The trip was filled with many "firsts" and we couldn't have asked for a more stress-free family vacation.

First plane ride, bright and early:

Meeting Scott and Tanya's 2 year old daughter, Samantha. She was such a doll with Taylor, we even heard her soothing her with soft "shh's".

Her first tailgate, Taylor with some of the crew:

Game day outfit, all set to go! She didn't quite make it to the game, but she and grandma watched it back at the house while Al and I got to enjoy the live action. It was a great game to catch!

Meeting the Godfather for the first time, Kolin. I think she approved.

Taking a picture before we bought more UT gear for the little one:

First time meeting her Mawlene (great-great grandma). Five generation picture, Taylor, Al, Dale, Mimi and Mawlene:

First picture with little Nicholas. Suzanne and Keith's little one who was born exactly 7 weeks after Taylor. Look! He's trying to hold her hand:

Happy Halloween

Taylor's first Halloween was a bit uneventful, but she at least got to dress up! She helped hand out some candy and saw some of the neighbor kids, but then it was fussy-time and she wanted out of her costume and into some comfy pjs. Before that though, grandma and grandpa got to stop by and say hi. Thank you to Aunt Ann and Uncle Joe for getting our little Pea this costume before she was born! It fit great!
