Last Week

So this was us and it was WILD. A tornado touched down just 3 miles from us. It was terrifying and surreal. We've had storms and been on watch before but this was the first time we huddled in the innermost bathroom of the house. Yikes.

Thankfully we made it through without any damage. It missed us, but there were some houses just a few miles away that were hit and destroyed. 

Texas has its drawbacks. Besides being 1200 miles from family of course. 
 Markham's office was hit and badly damaged.... so he worked from home all week. It was so great! We took the pup on walks, went out for breakfast, and enjoyed being together. The kiddos loved it too. We surprised them with takeout at lunch.

pumpkin pancakes!

 These 2 cute friends are in the 4th grade book club at the library. They just finished Coraline and are now reading Holes for next month.
Happy October! I am loving my black nails.  
I'm also loving teaching for VIPkid! 
It's really picking up. I'm teaching a few classes every day, M-F and already have some regular students! Nothing beats working in my sweats at home!

Kaitlyn's 13th Birthday

Kaitlyn Paige was born 13 years ago. I can't even believe it. She is as tall as me! We can wear the same shoes and some of the same clothes! She is such a beautiful girl and I'm so proud of her. 
 She invited a few friends to Urban Air and they had a blast.
 Rain, Mia and Ellie. Super cute girls
This is her and her tiny cake! She wanted a cake from Cold Stone because they are the best. I ordered it online and thought it would be bigger! Haha. We drove 25 minutes to pick it up. Thats how much I love this girl! We drove 25 minutes in 90 degree weather to get her a "tall, dark and handsome" chocolate ice cream cake.  It was delicious. 
Happy Birthday my love! I am so proud of you! I love how hard you work at everything you do. You are a beautiful dancer and I love to watch you dance. I'm so proud of your accomplishments at school too!  Keep it up! The world is yours!! 💗

The Arboretum in the fall

We love going to the Arboretum, especially in the fall. 
There are so many pumpkins! The theme this year was Charlie Brown. So fun!

 
 Addie wishes we had a big tree like this one in our backyard. 
Sorry babe.  Just love this one.
 Team work!
 What a beautiful girl and what a great shirt! We both wanted it. 
She won.
 What a handsome boy! He is growing up so fast and it breaks my heart.
 Me and my babies. I'm so lucky.
