Late October...

OK, it has been an inexcusably long time since the last posting. The weekend before last we went to Denver for our annual rite of fall with the Wheatley's. For 11 striaght years now it has not been autumn without a visit to Eric and Anida (now with Daniel and Rachel!) We forgot our camera, see a cute picture of Rachel and Sean HERE. The toy they are playing with - the Leap Frog Musical Table - Sean liked so much we picked one up from Craig's List within 3 or 4 days for $15 - he loves it! We had a great time with Eric and Anida and the kids and going to the Great American Beer Festival. Texas did not do so well this year...

Dave and Sean did suffer from a short-lived virus that Grandma and Dziadziu also caught. Further investigation revealed that Dave caught it at work, leading to more celebration than planned of National Infection Prevention week at ISP - Texas City last week!


Elissa's 2nd Birthday gave everyone a chance to dress up for Halloween early. Above are the Cavemen (uh, CavePEOPLE - I just went to harassment training) Pasta's with little Pasta-Saurus.


The birthday girl shows off her much improved birthday cake eating skills (compared to last year!)

Bring in the clowns!


Sunday we went hiking in Brazos Bend State Park. Afterwards Grandma and Dziadziu help Sean practice walking.
