happy halloween!

six years old



Today Laila turned six years old.  She is growing up way too fast!  She is loving being in kindergarten.  Dahlia sure misses her during the day, and is so happy when she comes home. Laila always comes off the school bus full of smiles and tells me a big dramatic story about her day, which usually includes a boy being mean to her on the playground.

We went on a quick getaway to the Frio river.  I love this part of Texas, it is so beautiful. It was a six hour drive and we got to hear, are we there yet, over and over.  Everyone was so excited when we finally arrived.  We had the river pretty much to ourselves.  The weather strarted out warm, but turned breezy and cool.  That didn't stop the kids from getting in the water.  Dahlia loved setting on the river bank, throwing rocks in.  At night we had a fire, roasted marshmallows and told stories around the campfire.  It doesn't get any better than that on a cool fall night!  This was such a fun trip spent with lots of family, making great memories.
