Happy Thanksgiving!

We have so many things to be thankful for this year. We are thankful for Brooklyn and Stella and that they are healthy, our parents and their health after a rough couple of years, and the fact that we are so blessed with not many hardships like so many families are experiencing.

Well we hosted Thanksgiving at our house this year for my family. The Fanning Crew stayed here, along with Travis, my dad, and my aunt. My mom and Kim and Rob were here a lot and joined us for the Thanksgiving meal. It was amazing that we got lunch on the table. Miller and Finn were both sick and it was already crazy with 4 kids. Again it was crazy but it will be a great memory!

Now I think Brooklyn has gotten what Miller and Finn had which we think is Roseola. A high fever and then ends in a rash. Stella will probably be next. So much fun!

Crawling and Teething

This has been a big week. Stella got her first tooth last week and is getting her second one this week. She also started crawling officially. She is just getting the hang of it so she is not everywhere yet! Everyone got flu shots today so it was a little rough. Stella has also been having some issues with throwing up after feedings so I am not sure if she is sick or if the reflux is back. So we have put her back on reflux medicine and I hoping that will help.

Halloween weekend

Here are some other pics from the weekend.

Trick or Treat!

Brooklyn loved trick or treating! She did not want to come home she kept saying "Another house, no home". The Fanning Crew came down and we had a great weekend. Miller and Brooklyn rode in the wagon to trick or treat and Finn and Stella rode in the stroller. Brooklyn quickly decided she wanted to walk.

Dallas Arboretum Pumpkin Patch

Ok, I think this is the last pumpkin patch picture but I won't promise. We went with Erin and Aubrey to the Dallas Arboretum today and Aunt Kim (almay) met us there also. They have Mommy and Me Monday so it was packed. You have never seen so many strollers. They also have fun storybook houses you can go in. We had a picnic there. Good trip even though Brooklyn was so sad to see Almay go home. It was such a beautiful day!

Family Pumpkin Patch Outing

The Mom's league had it annual trip to the Pumpkin Patch. Stella did good and Brooklyn did not want to leave of course. Brooklyn loved the bounce houses and made several trips down the slide. We got a few good photos. Stella is easier to photograph than Brooklyn at this point. You just have get her to look at you. There are a lot of pictures because I could not choose between them. Mainly a lot of good ones of Stella and Brooklyn is in action in most of them.

Lucky 07's at the zoo

We made a 2nd trip to the zoo since Stella. We went with our playgroup. It was better than the first one with 2 but still hard. Everyone was very good until we had to wait in line to get food. Once we started eating everyone was calm again. Brooklyn had another meltdown when we left. She always cries everytime we leave somewhere. All and all it was a good outing.
