We made it through Daddy's first business trip- he went to the cold state of Minnesota. He was gone for 2 whole days- and we survived. I was impressed with how much engery I had with the two kids, no husband, and very little sleep. We greeted him at the airport with big smiles and lots of hugs!! We are glad to have Paul back home!!

The weekend consisted of lots of shopping and a pumpkin patch.

My mom and I went for a short shopping trip on Friday. We started our trip with Dixie in the car- as if two kids weren't enough, the dog wanted to go. But we got her out of the car and went on our way. It takes a lot of skill to manuver the double stroller through a busy mall and crowded food court. Hudson didn't last too long on our outing (it was nap time), but I got 2 new shirts- thanks Mom!!

On Saturday, we went shopping again- this time with Daddy. We went to Grapevine Mills Mall and got some new clothes for Hudson. He needed some fall/winter clothes. We just love Children's Place- they have great sales and such cute clothes!! We ended the day at Babies R Us with a little Elmo potty for Hudson- we are going to attempt potty training soon. We will let you know how that goes.

Sunday, Daddy and Hudson went to church and let Mommy and Ella sleep- which was wonderful. We went to the pumpkin patch that afternoon with our Sunday School class. Hudson dressed as a monkey and Ella as his banana. It was hot, but tons of fun. Hudson didn't want to get out of Dylan's red wagon. They had a good time. After the pumpkin patch, we went shopping in Southlake- yes another shopping trip. Hudson learned how to say, "Buy It!!" It was so funny....we are working on, "Buy It, Nana" and "Buy It, Teta!!" We love it when our grandparents buy things for us!!

As far as how thing are going with a three week old- if she could get her days and nights in order then we would be good. Ella is a good sleeper- she is just sleeping more during the day instead of at night. And she won't sleep in her bed. We will keep working on it.
