Anticipation
Our first road trip with Livy (and of course the minivan) is right around the corner.
On Wednesday, after Johnny gets home from work, Livy, Ellie, Boots, Johnny and myself will load up and travel about 3 hours to our Thanksgiving destination. Well, at least it used to be a 3 hour road trip - we'll see how it goes now that we have "Little Bit."
This past week I have been mentally packing. It's amazing how many things there are to think about when traveling with a baby - from bottles and diapers to clothes and toys. Johnny and I will probably arrive with nothing more than the shirts on our back.
Anyway, we are looking forward to spending time with family and digging into tons of delicious food!
Be on the lookout for pictures of our highly anticipated road trip.

Baby Boots
Boots, our first baby, makes yet another transition.
Let me give you a quick timeline of Boot's life.
In October 2002, Boots was given to us by a friend as a 3 week old little kitten. He had the run of the roost. All of our attention was given to this little ball of brownish-black fur with white feet - hence the name given to him by Johnny - "Boots".
In May 2005, we adopted Ellie, a sweet little treeing walker hound, from the SPCA. Boots quickly welcomed her into our home and even started to "look up" to her.
A series of big moves during summer 2008 from one apartment to the next may have made any other cat "turn up it's tail" on us. This is especially true since he moved from a house and a neighborhood filled with his kitty friends and grass to roll in.
On top of all these moves, Boots began to notice that one of his owners had an evergrowing belly which he didn't quite know what to make of. So, he decided to hide anywhere and everywhere he would fit (and if you have met Boots, fitting into places is a challenge:)
Boots, being a curious cat, decided to wait it out and see what came of it all.
Currently, Boots has made it his daily job to remind us that he is still our baby.
Though Boots has endured many changes, at the end of the day he purrs louder than ever as he is confident that he will always be our Baby Boots!

Six Weeks!
Uncle K.C. came to visit last weekend! We all went to Trunk-Or-Treat (of course, Livy wore her pumpkin outfit) and enjoyed hanging out together.
In other news, Livy is starting to sleep longer hours during the night - a whole 4 hours STRAIGHT, for which Johnny and I are very grateful.

Happy Halloween!
Thanks to our SGB (a.k.a. John, or Gramps as he's known to Olivia) we have added so many beautiful pictures of Livy to our album! We all had such a great time visiting with Gramps last week.
Johnny is in the middle of yet another project. He is building a rocking horse for Olivia. You should see him set up shop with his tools (including a miter saw) on our little 5 x 5 deck.
The other night, we went to a Halloween costume party. We brought Livy dressed up as a pumpkin.
Enjoy these pictures from our recent adventures!

SGB is back!
Hey again. As promised, here is what was ordered last night at the Longhorn Steak House:
Steak. Except for Richelle. She had chicken.
Well - wasn't that worth waiting for?
Olivia is one month old today. I'm going to stroll over to Panera Bread with her - I think they give people free coffee on their birthday. Or maybe a free bagel.
Well - TTFN. Thanks for tuning in. Have a nice day.
