Blog backlog

Let's attribute it to blogger's block. Or maybe a general apathy and lack of energy lately. Or just forgetfulness? Whatever it is, it's been pretty clear the blog has been out of sight, out of mind. It certainly hasn't been for want of fun stuff going on. As tempting as it sometimes sounds, I have not been lounging and eating bon bons. Although you wouldn't know that from the sight of me--big and bigger! To be clear, I am not complaining, just stating simple fact. I am all for getting big and growing a healthy baby...it just sometimes boggles my mind that I have another 2-3ish months to go.
Anyway, let's review a few of the many highlights of the past month or so...

We went on a family trip to Santa Fe. We crammed a lot of fun activities into the Labor day weekend, all things considered. Including...a trip to Shidoni, where Reese and Kathy played amongst the sculptures...


Reese loved on a giraffe.


And found the longhorn, which she called "the hook-em-horn-y!"


Go Horns!


We visited sculptor Roxanne Swentzel's studio. This is a piece she is working on for the SF Chamber of Commerce--amazing!


David stood in front of a lot of dumb stuff. Caliente!


Giddyup!


Well, the mystery staircase at the Loretto Chapel isn't dumb. Just a silly pose, I guess.


And we wished Ma Pam a very happy birthday!


We also squeezed in a quick family trip to Fredericksburg.


We helped celebrate Gigi's birthday and her amazing surprise: a fabulous car!


Reese, she isn't going to let you borrow it. I'm sorry to break the news to you.


It's convertible and also comes with a hard top--gorgeous!


We visited the farm and R got to fish with her cousins, aunt Teeno and uncle Blake.


We attended Cole's construction theme party--very well done! R was a little lost in boy-land, but she'll get used to it. (Also, the only belly pic of the bunch. That's me, mid-waddle, in the green dress behind R.)


We also went to Simone's 1st b-day party, where I managed to catch some more pics!
Wow, that's a LOT of kids!


R got love from the b-day girl, Simone, and Nico.


Posing with Nico.


Playing with Quinn in the ball pit...


..and the hammock.


Whew! Now, I'm tired, reading all of that. Pass me the bon-bons, will you?
