Welcome Bella Roe!

Caelin has been researching hamsters for a while and saving her money.  Like all good parents, we got suckered in due to her planning and drive for what she wants.  We counted her money, got prices online and then went to the store ready to bring home her "baby".  Pretty quickly after she got there, she saw a small dark grey hamster and seemed to love her right away.  The attendant at Petsmart said she was about 4 weeks old, so we knew it was a perfect fit.  After the final shopping, we headed home to get our new family member, Bella Roe Hall, settled in.  She is a bit shy, but we are hoping she warms up soon. 

Patriot Homecoming

Cade celebrated his Homecoming game for Patriot Football. It was a great game despite losing in the last 30 seconds of play. With Caelin at a sleepover, we had a date night with Cade (sushi of course). We are so thankful for moments we get to invest in his growth as his parents. Time truly passes quickly and we want to enjoy ever moment.

Roomie Reunion

Life often gets in the way when trying to schedule time with your 2 college roomies.  With Carolyn being in Missouri, we have to make the effort every few years to get together and set aside time for us.  Britni came to my house Friday night and then we were able to drive and get Carolyn from the airport Saturday morning before heading to Surfside Beach.  We spent the weekend catching up, discussing how to navigate the harder things in life, uplifting one another, eating amazing food by Brit, and of course enjoying time in the sand and waves.  There is a true comfort in spending time with people who truly KNOW you.  They know your tears, your facial expressions, and most importantly your heart.  These are the people who may even have differing views than you about life, but you all love each other the same.  That is what I call true friendships and these 2 women know how to fill my cup!  

October Bunco

 These ladies make me laugh harder than I can ever imagine!  They are my tribe through thick and thin.  We pray together, laugh together, and just do life together.  Win or lose, I can count on them for anything and our monthly Bunco nights mean so much to me.

National Son's Day

Happy National Son Day to our spicy one! We celebrated after school with movie night and sushi. Cade has the best sense of humor, loves to help others, and is constantly engineering something. You can brighten any day!

National Daughter's Day

National Daughter's Day was a special one for us! The boys had a Patriot football game, so we decided today needed to be a girls day. Caelin had an early soccer game and then us girls went to Waco for some shopping and the Baylor football game. Of course, we had to get Common Grounds coffee after the game. I love watching her grow into such a young lady and spending time listening to her. I am one lucky Mama!
