 Monday we celebrated my boss' birthday by going to Zoli's Pizza.  On the way back to the office we stopped by the new office they are moving to next month to show it to Kaylee.  We had an Office Action due for a trademark that required a couple of exhibits.  Scott finished the response and Kaylee was working on one of the exhibits.  I put together the others and one exhibit, I had to include 130 registration certificates and document them all in a table.  It took me four hours.  Scott was upset because he wanted to leave early for his birthday.  He ended up leaving early and then coming back later that night.  I stayed until 6 pm creating the exhibit.  Then I went home and made some teriyaki steak for dinner.  I cleaned up the kitchen while Paul was driving home.  Then we watched half of Jim Carrey's Grinch before calling it a day. 

Tuesday the building we're in threw a Christmas luncheon and served fajitas.  I felt like I was the only one that actually ate the fajitas.  The people I work with are a little too picky about food.  They will go the whole day without eating!  After work, I delivered thank you gifts to my ministering sisters for the ward shower last weekend.  I also delivered some Christmas cookies to our friends in the ward.  I made some salmon, salad, and mashed potatoes for dinner.  After Paul got home, we finished the Grinch and watched some other short Christmas movies to end the night. 

Wednesday I had a doctor's appointment and ultrasound.  Mary is looking really good!  She is weighing in at 6 lbs and 13 oz.  She is head down and all her organs look great.  I got to take home a cute picture of her face showing off her already chubby cheeks! 

My doctor is kind of socially awkward and I thought I could look past that but I feel like it is impacting the care I am receiving.  She awkwardly laughs all the time, so I feel like she is laughing at me.  She also speeds through information, so it is too fast for me to understand what she is saying.  I have other qualms but I was finished with her after this last appointment, so I put in a request for a new doctor.  It was approved the next day, so I am happy about that. 

Happy Birthday to Dad on Thursday!

Welcome home to James on Friday and Happy Birthday on Saturday!

Saturday we saw the new Spiderman movie and Sunday Paul put together Mary's bassinet.

Minnie Mouse for Halloween   We didn't really do anything for Halloween because Mary is too little for trick or treating but we did watch a Halloween movie when Paul got home from work and we dressed Mary up as Minnie Mouse for the day.  Helping with the dishes Happy birthday to Rachel on Wednesday. Paul went on a work trip to Colorado all day on Friday.  I dropped him off at the airport at 6 am then Mary and I went home and went back to bed for a couple of hours.  It was a rainy, hot, and muggy day but we weren't going to let that keep us at home.  We went to the local library and another mom in the ward came with her 3-year-old and 5-month-old.  We hung out there for probably an hour and a half.  Then Mary and I went to grab some fun groceries for the weekend.  I tried to put Mary down for a nap but she wasn't having it, so I put her back in the car and we drove to the other side of Austin and did an easy nature hike up to the Mount Bonnell look...

  We had a great week this week.  We had Hannah and Addie over on Tuesday and played at the playground at our complex.  Wednesday we went to a bigger park and met up with other moms and kids in the ward.  We played there for two hours.  Paul got to come home early on Wednesday, which was awesome.  We took my car in for an oil change and tire rotation.  I need new tires, so we'll take care of that next week. Thursday was Thanksgiving!  We had Matt, Hannah, and Addie over for dinner.  I made the turkey, stuffing, and mashed potatoes, as well as the gravy and a camembert appetizer.  Hannah made a yummy feta and berry green salad, fresh homemade rolls, and a rich chocolate cheesecake.  It was a fun evening together.  Hannah brought some crafts for Addie and Mary to make and wear turkey crowns.  We played some games and talked. Friday we drove down to Houston first thing and spent the day at the NASA Johnson Space Center....

10 Months   Happy birthday to Hannah on Tuesday.  I was able to vote and then Mary and I went to the library and had a play date with another family in the ward.  Mary turned 10 months on Thursday!  We went to the playground and she absolutely loved the slide.  Friday Addie came over for a play date.  We watched Toy Story, played with Mary's toys and books, and made pumpkin cookies.  I got a cute picture of the girls wearing aprons.  Happy birthday to Grandpa Sam on Saturday.  We went to a little Christmas Market on Saturday morning and it got us in the Christmas shopping mood.  We went to the mall with Matt, Hannah, and Addie afterward.  We got the girls matching pajamas and took pictures with Mall Santa.  Mary was okay at first then got scared. We got our tickets to come to Utah for Christmas.  We can't wait to see everyone!
