Halloween 2008

As is our custom, we went trick-or-treating through a couple of the dorms at Baylor. Though it was hard to top last year's costumes of Little Bo Peep and her lost sheep, Abby outdid herself once again. We had two little bikers this year....complete with tattoos. We hope they're temporary.

Neither child was sure about this Spiderperson. Sophie kept saying, "Spiderman!" But it sure sounded like a girl's voice behind the mask. I think they got confused.

San Antonio

We spent a recent weekend in San Antonio with our friends Roz and Dave. We met them when we all lived in Little Rock, and they moved back to Texas about the same time we did. Their kids -- Courtney, Jacob and Kayla -- were great with our young 'uns, and even let us go out for a grown-ups only meal. We ate at Rosario's, our favorite restaurant in San Antonio.

On Saturday, we went through the Natural Bridge Wildlife Farm. We fed some animals from the car and then went into the petting cage.

This is Jacob.

Sophie and Brazos loved this baby goat.

This is Roz. Roz doesn't like goats.

These are our friends, Roz and Dave. They were great hosts.
