A little bit of this....a little bit of that...

This update is about nothing, really.   Just an update because I know people are growing tired of checking the page and seeing my kids in Halloween attire.  What's been going on around here? (I am sure you are asking yourself)...Well, let me tell you!
-Baby is starting to talk up a storm.  All day long, we are treated to animal noises (a duck, a lion and a dog so far)  and cute utterances such as "WHOA!" and "Dat?"  (Her way of asking "What's that?")
-Baby LOVES to be read to, so if you are at our house let it be known that you aren't safe once you are seated.  She will go find a book and bring it to you and back her little hiney into your lap every time.
-Cale pooped outside.  I am not sure why it is newsworthy, but the husband thought I should blog about it. It gave us a good laugh, that's for sure.  When we asked him why he did it, he said "I was camping."  Well, there you have it.  Now it makes total sense.
-Our house is halfway decorated for Christmas.  I don't ever remember it taking this long to get all my stuff out and hung.  I guess it has to do with the fact that my holiday decor mysteriously multiplies every year....
-We attempted a family Christmas Card shoot at Lost Maples last weekend, which will forever be referred to as "The Disaster on the Sabinal".  Little boys who want to go adventuring are not too excited about getting corralled and photographed.  We managed to get a few cute ones, but not without some threats, tears, bribery..you parents know what I am talking about!
-Now that it's cold enough, we are turning on our gas fireplace all the time now.  My definition of "cold enough" is seventy degrees.  My husband's definition is when your eyelids freeze shut.  Let's just say we are using my method for determining the cold, NOT his.
-I think I am done Christmas shopping for my kids.  Before you gag with disgust, let me clarify....for MY KIDS only.  I am not one of those people who get their shopping done in August.  I still have a ton to do.....just not for tiny people.
Besides being hugely busy with photography, not too much else is going on around here....trying to enjoy the beginning of the season and make time for little moments like driving around looking at lights on houses and eating our cookies by the fire....And just because a post stinks without pics, here are a few:
