Recent Pictures

Catching up on pictures from September and October...
Julia enjoying the big-kid swing.
Just moments later, while Mommy was pushing from behind, she let go with both hands and fell chin-first into the dirt. She screamed instantly and her mouth began bleeding profusely. It appeared she knocked a bottom tooth loose, which caused her gum to split and bleed. We rushed her to our friend Travis' house (he is a pediatric dentist who happens to live around the corner from where we were) and he assured us it was nothing and the tooth would tighten back up and be normal in a day or two. He was right!

A close-up of her chin the next day.

Unfortunately this picture is blurry, but it still captures the thrill of jumping on the trampoline at Gymboree.

All clean!

Ready for her first day of "cool" (school = Mothers-Day-Out)

Taking a morning swim. That morning she woke up at 7am and her first words to me were: "Can I go swimming my baby pool?" We had plenty of time before needing to leave for school so I said, "Sure."

Visiting with Courtney, Marisa, and Deborah in Fort Worth.

Kyle's High School Reunion

We spent a weekend in Beaumont for Kyle's 15-year high school reunion. There was a social on Friday night, a picnic Saturday afternoon for the families, and the main reunion dinner that evening. Here are some pictures, thanks to Brooke!

We enjoyed spending time with Kevin and Brooke that weekend, and Julia really enjoyed playing with Caroline at the park.

Fun times!
Caroline was so sweet with Julia

Back at the house, Julia was entertained by Gigi and Pop while we were busy with the other activities. Thanks for taking care of her and showing her such a good time!

Family Reunion

Here are some pictures from our fun weekend in Fort Worth with the Quinn side of the family in early October.
On our way to Fort Worth we had Julia try out the wireless headphones that came with the car so she could watch her DVD while we listened to the radio.
Enjoying Pop's company in the back seat on the way to the baseball game.

Julia loved spending time with Katelyn.


At the entrance to the Fort Worth Zoo. It had been an entire year since Julia had been to a zoo, so she was in for a treat!

Checking out the meerkats

We spent that evening at the hotel pool. We had pizza and cake to celebrate Grandma's birthday.

Julia enjoyed the pool, thanks to Daddy who was willing to get in with her despite the frigid water temperature (it was supposed to be heated but wasn't).
