Where has the time gone?

So I realized it has been over 2 months since I last posted.  I will do my best to fill everyone in on the Martins past events.  Since the last time I posted we have had Halloween and Thanksgiving - two big events for us.  This was the first year that Taelyn really go Halloween and was so excited about getting dressed up and getting candy!  She dressed up 3 times thanks to a party at school, a neighborhood party and then trick or treating.  Each time she was something different - a cheerleader, a fairy and a ballerina.  She said she liked being a ballerina the best.  Brie went as a big, pink, fluffy kitty cat.  We thought she was just as cute as can be - and so soft you just wanted to squeeze her.  Here is a picture of the pumpkin Chad carved.

We also made a trip to Waco to see the Baylor Homecoming Parade.  While we were there, the girls and I took a trip to the Waco zoo with my good friend Shelley and her son.  We had so much fun playing - if you are ever in Waco, you really must check out the zoo.  It is a great place.

After Halloween was over Taelyn started asking when Thanksgiving was since we had told her we were going to fly to Georgia to visit her cousins.  It seemed like every other day she would ask until finally it was time to get on the plane.  The plane ride was great - no problem traveling with two kids.  They both did really well, thankfully.  The biggest headache was just the amount of stuff we needed to take.  But once we got to my sister's cabin, it was all worth it.  We had a great time visiting with the family, a couple rainy days and then beautiful weather.  Chad had a good time fly fishing, we hiked and rode the train through the Blue Ridge Mountains.

Now we are getting ready for Christmas and enjoying the cold weather!
