Fellowship of the Metroplex Halloween House

Yesterday was our FOM Halloween house with our lifegroup. Basically, its like a mini fall festival at several of our church members houses, that way we can get to know our neighbors better. Our lifegroup did ours at a neighborhood park in Kennedale. It was really fun, much less hectic and personal than a fall festival, and the neighbors loved it! We gave out corndogs, lemonaid, hot cocoa and smores. We also had games to play. Dani had fun but was also a little overwhelmed by all the hub bub.

Dani's wish list

OK, all you members of the Dani fan club ( AKA relatives!) Here is a Christmas list for Dani since I know I will be getting requests soon.
*Classic Crankypants, Monster Booty size 12-18 months, one pair. (www.crankypantshome.com) *Dream-eze Organic All-in-one Diapers, size large, any color ( www.hip-green-baby.com) *Mother-ease Sandy's Unbleached or colored cotton fitted diapers, size large, (www.mother-ease.com) * Also she would like some bibs that fit around her chubby neck better. *Soft leather shoes like Robeez, Shooshoos, Pediped etc. I think that's about it for now, I will add things as I think of them. And now for your token cute picture of the day- Dani in her Zebra costume courtesy of Grama Cathy!

A tooth! My kingdom for a tooth!

Dani cut her first tooth today. It is barely visible above the gumline and is invisible in this picture, but what an exciting day! I can see the outline of one next to it as well. What a sweetie, you would never have known it by her demeanor.
My Dad got back from Scotland on Monday, and brought Dani a kilt and matching tamershan (spelling?). Here she is inspecting my Manchester United scarf.

Dani's first ponytail!

Hiking at Cedar Hill

We went hiking at Cedar Hill State park, and also walked around an old farm there, called Penn Farm. It is the original homestead, that has been preserved. It is pretty cool to see the timbers in the barn that were hand hewn in 1850.

State fair

Craig and I went to the state fair of Texas last week! We had lots of fun and the weather was beautiful. Dani did great on such a big outing.
