Before
After
Lance got a real “big boy” haircut. And for the fans of longer hair….don’t worry, it’ll grow back!
October 28
Today is our anniversary!
Two years ago, two became one. Both were desperately in love with each other and excited with the prospect of getting to be together every day!
One year ago one was becoming two and the new “Daddy” got to feel his son kick for the first time.
And today, if you do the math: 1×1=1+1= 3 …or something like that – I just count heads.
Anyhow, we’ve had two wonderful years – I don’t think we’re off our honeymoon yet – and the Lord has richly blessed our relationship, our life and our family.
“Whoso findeth a wife findeth a good thing and obtaineth favor of the Lord” Proverbs 18:22
“The Lord grant you that ye may find rest, each of you in the house of your husband” Ruth 1:9
Eating
Lance has sure enjoyed eating “real food”
Here are some sample meals….ground up carrots and potatoes are ready for the freezer while tomorrow’s meals of potatoes with squash or green beans are packaged for the fridge.
Lance tries out “table food.”
Lance tries to tell us that he’s hungry!
This picture is for daddy – Lance tries an appetizer while mommy makes dinner.
Unfortunately, all that “home cooking” has seemed to make the jar stuff less than desireable. Here is his reaction to green beans – even though he eats fresh cooked green beans just fine.
Botanical gardens
Today Lance and I were able to celebrate some beautiful weater by going on an outing with our friends to the Dallas Botanical Gardens. Despite the fact that it is fall, the gardens were beautiful with seasonal flowers and pumpkins lined some of the paths.
On arrival we found a grassy spot and ate lunch – joined by a very friendly butterfly! Lance wanted to “hold” it.
 
Next we toured through some historical home replicas where Lance tried out backwoods living.
We tried posing by a lovely pool and waterfall…but Lance was too interested in the water to look at the camera. Some of the gardens reminded me of what we saw at the castles in England.
 
On our way out we stopped by the pumpkin house – landscaped with every kind of gourd imaginable! There was also a “Tom Thumb” hale bale maze but both boys were asleep by this time so we headed home – very much the better for a breath of beauty and fresh air!

My little Pumpkin
Lance got a taste of country life this week at our church’s annual hayride. I enjoyed being out of the city for a while, smelling campfires, seeing the stars and sitting in the hay with my very own kid.
Because it was dark, I don’t have very good pictures. So I thought it a good time to share some from a recent photo shoot done by my brother-in-law, Benjamin Cahill.
The start of the photo shoot was a little rough; Lance wasn’t real keen on the whole pumpkin thing…
But Daddy got him laughing as only Daddy can.
We got some great pictures of Lance – it was hard to decide which ones to post! We also posed a nice family shot too.
Lance found a girl his size – wanna hold hands?
Don’t I have the sweetest little boy!
