Catching You Up

Well, I have come back from a LONG hiatus (or laziness, whatever you prefer to call it) and there is so much to update on. To sum it up. Greggars and I have finished school and are now living in Texas, with Greggars parents, Pawpaw and G. Wow, that was simple! Now some fun pictures from the past year!

Texas

*Note: You may have not noticed that I have changed the background of the blog. Take note of my awesomeness and the incredible things I can do with Microsoft Word and Paint. That’s right, I rock!*

In the past, visiting Texas has been a pain. So many people demanding to see my time and not enough people pleased with the time I’m able to give them. I typically have a “out of body” experience. I go where ever I’m demanded to be and while there I count down the time until my next visit. It has almost always been a miserable experience for me.

This trip has been different. I’ve enjoyed the time I’ve spent with others. I focus less on where I need to go next, and more on the time I’m currently spending with people. You may be wondering what has made such a difference. There have been sever major changes and one of those changes is that we are able to be here for a month. In the past, visits haven’t been longer than a week and a half. Three and a half weeks has allowed us to take our time and visit all kinds of people. I am LOVING it!

So here is a small play by play of how the first week has gone.

Dec 29th: We went to the mall and did a photo shoot.

Pumpkin Pictures

Note: Sorry it’s been so long to update everyone. I never thought that putting a baby on a schedule would be so TIME demanding. So first a post about today and then onto past things

A while ago I found a pic of a baby in a pumpkin. I LOVED it and decided we’d do one with Quino.

Early last week I went and found the BIGGEST pumpkin possible and brought it home. Today we did all the prep work before taking him outside for the pictures. I set the camera to take multiple pictures within a few seconds, Greggars carved the pumpkin and we stripped Quino down and took him outside.

Then we put Quino in the pumpkin… and his leg got stuck on the way in! Determined that this was going to work AND be a memorable experience I forced his leg through, which of course ticked him off. As a result we got pictures such as these.

I suppose I deserved this.

That left us with this one good pic, spit bubble and all! LOL

We then brought him in and tried to take him out of the pumpkin.

Remember how I forced him into the pumpkin? Greggars couldn’t get him out.

So he carefully cut out a portion of the back and RIPPED the pumpkin apart. I guess his Daddy Bear instincts kicked in. This is what was left of the pumpkin...

...and that’s what happens when you take baby outside for pumpkin pictures!
