Horse Lessons at Bel Canto Farms

Ava has been taking riding lessons at Bel Canto Farms in Dripping Springs this week.  These pics are from her first day.  She is riding a horse named Archie.

Big Boy Bed

*Sniff*

 Roman will be 2 on December 22nd.  We wanted to get him a big boy bed, and Gianni insisted that it be a race car bed.  I looked on Craigslist and found a good deal.  So, we got it and put it together tonight.  Roman was very excited by his bed.  He loves climbing in and out.  Every now and then, he stops and looks at it and says, "Wow."

This thing is so big that it takes up most of his room, crowding out the glider that I used to rock Roman before bed.  I guess we have graduated to snuggling in the bed!

I may be sad that my little guy is growing up, but I was so happy to take that crib apart!  As Bud says in Bud Not Buddy, "when one door closes, another one opens."  I have felt that way so many times when watching my kids reach milestones.

Sorry the pics are such poor quality.  The lighting was really bad. Oh, and the hood is actually a toy box, which is why it looks askew.

Halloween!

Okay, so at least I posted these before Christmas!  Ava was a flower fairy named Rosie.  She designed the costume herself.  Roman was Baby Spock again.  I accidentally ordered his first Baby Spock costume in size 2T-4T instead of 12 months.  I never sent the too-big one back, so he got to be Baby Spock twice.

Here are some pics of the kids playing in the bath on Halloween Eve.
