October Activities

October was packed full of activities as well...here are a few highlights...

The kids and I took one last trip to the zoo with some friends before the weather cooled off. This was Kamryn's first trip and she was utterly unimpressed:).


Sibling love! :)


Carter and his friend, Reese, hanging out with the huge pythons:


The new exhibit for the African animals at the Dallas Zoo was really cool, we especially liked the giraffes!


Another big highlight this month was Carter's first official sleepover at our house. His cousin, Avery, got to come and spend the night - they had such a great time! Here they are making their pizzas for dinner:


We also went to play at a local play area with a grass maze, here they are all showing off their shades!:)


Carter & Avery, they are such great cousins and friends!


The whole family went down to College Station for Kamryn's first Aggie football game. Again, she wasn't too impressed, but it was fun to experience it with both kiddos.

September Activities

September was full of fun activities...Carter and Ryan headed back to College Station for some Aggie football, we enjoyed a lovely evening at the Plano Balloon Festival, and we participated in our annual class camping trip to Robber's Cave for the last time.

Carter's favorite part: watching the band and corps march in to Kyle Field.


A few of the balloons we saw launched at the Balloon Festival:


Staking our claim on the hillside and settling in for our picnic dinner:


Best Buddies


Of course, Carter wanted to take a picture himself...he did a pretty good job actually getting us in the picture!:)


Balloon Glow!


Carter's favorite part of our annual trip to Robber's Cave is the Saturday morning hike. Kamryn got to join in the fun this year; here we are, ready to go!


All the kids in our group climbing the large rocks:

Happy Baby!


Ryan & Carter worked their way to the top of every spot they could find...Kamryn & I chose to stay on surfaces where I was more sure-footed:).


Mid-September we also enjoyed seeing our new nephew, Landon Lewis Williams, dedicated at Trent & Laura's church in Frisco. Here is a great pic of the whole family (minus Nathan) after the dedication.

Check out our new blog!

Most of you have already seen it, but I thought I should officially mention it...

We have started a new blog to keep everyone updated with the many changes going on as we transition to Romania and also to keep a journal of our experiences throughout this process. Feel free to share our new blog with anyone that may be interested, we'd love to have more people involved and praying for us as we start this journey!

I still plan to keep this blog updated, primarily for family and close friends. It will focus more on the kiddos, pictures, silly activities, and other things that may not be of great interest to the general public.

With that said, I will now try to catch up from the past several months and post some pics of the highlights... brace yourselves!:)
