Brief Update for August/September

Emma drew another man with a hat. This seems to be a reoccurring subject for her to draw.
Henry wearing his cowboy hat. He is a true Texas boy:)
Hunting for grasshoppers(aka walking sticks according to Henry) in the front yard.
Emma making a mud cake. She took a small break from grasshopper hunting.
Henry looking for grasshoppers/walking sticks.
Our friendly house gecko. We released him in the backyard later that day.
This is a drawing Henry did of a spider. He's really into bugs right now.
Henry at the DFW Observation Deck watching the big planes take off and land.
Emma snuggled up the other day and passed out on the couch for a little nap.
We had lunch with Aunt Suza and Uncle Kevin at La Hacienda Ranch and rode the horse and train again. Wow, doesn't he look so excited?!
Emma driving the train. That's a peppermint in her mouth not chewing tobacco:)
Caught Emma bright and early Saturday morning playing with her new Moon Sand.

Henry joined Emma Saturday morning, playing in the very early hours of the morning. Here he is with some Flarp, which at this point is the same consistency as Play Dooh.

Emma played dress up yesterday. This is her latest design-the hottest couture for this season. A clown hat, Hello Kitty shirt, pirate pants, and some sparklie pink dress up sandals.
She walked over to me and said, "Yook at me Mommy! Can I wear this for Halloween?" And then gave me this pretty smile.

I'll be posting a more detailed update soon. I've just not been in the writing mood. My apologies-it's not a good excuse.
