The Parents (Old)

Chris and I are busy but doing well. Chris just accepted a promotion at work and I just started back at my job. It's been an adjustment for all of us but it feels like we're settling in now and on most days, I get to pick up these sweet faces from school early.

Football & Friends

We were so happy to host our good friends, The Moodys for the weekend. Taylor is a University of Texas Alum and had tickets to the UT vs OSU game on Saturday so he and Chris got away to cheer for the Longhorns while Ashley and I stayed back and managed the home front. He even got Chris to wear burnt orange.

Landon was born just one month before Easton and it had been a while since they'd seen each other but it didn't take long for them to bond (and get into trouble together). Landon was crazy about the Cozy Coupe and I was happy to see it getting so much use. Good thing he'll be getting one for his birthday in a few weeks.

Later that night, we went out for an adults only dinner at Steiner Ranch Steakhouse while cheering on our Baylor Bears who are, dare I say it? NOW 9-0!!!

I am so thrilled we got to hang all weekend and that they got to meet our sweet girl.

A Happy Harris Halloween

Halloween is so fun! I kind of forget how fun it is to dress up your kiddos, hand out candy and see all the crazy and creative costumes people come up with. And for us- all from our own front porch! (I prefer to hand out candy with a baby in one hand and a glass of wine in the other, but that's just me).
Anyway, yesterday Chris's office hosted a mini Halloween bash so I packed up my baby kitten and little Batman and headed there.

 The whole office really went all out decorating and dressing up. In fact, it was so dark and spooky we didn't get many clear pictures.

For Easton, it was way more fun to take the candy out of the pumpkin and put it back in than actually collecting candy.

At home, Chris always carves the pumpkins and trick-or-treaters are always impressed by his handiwork. This year he carved Pac-Man and a very scared ghost.

And finally, Batman caught in action on tape!
