Visitors and Pumpkins

Last weekend Lisel and Dave came to visit. There was lot's of books read, games played and laughs to go around.

We had planned to go to Discovery Green in Downtown Houston, but when we got there it was closed for some reason. Instead we went to the Houston Arboretum which had a pumpkin patch.

Anastasia was not going to smile or raise up her hands.

But then she made and silly face

and eventually smiled :) -I wish her hair was a little more controlled in these pictures

We picked a pumpkin and brought it home. Elyse and Anastasia 'helped" us clean and carve the pumpkin.

Most of their help was cheering Daddy on. Go Daddy Go!

Go, Daddy, Go!

Jia You! (sounds like Chi-o according to Elyse and this family) screamed at the top of Anastasia's lungs.

Sandy, the class pet, got in on the action too.

After church on Sunday we went to the park and had a great time.

Lisel and Dave, thanks for visiting! We miss you!
