 I had a head cold last weekend that seemed to clear up by Sunday but Monday I woke up with a sore throat and an earache in my left ear.  Paul woke up feeling achy and had a cough.  He got tested for Covid but it came back negative, so we assume it was just a cold.


Mary loves making spit bubbles and doesn't cry too often when she wakes up.  Instead, she will call out to let us know she is awake.  She is focusing so much better and she will smile when you smile at her and she loves looking at faces.  She has also slept the whole night each night this week!  It has been a miracle.

Happy Birthday to Bethany on Tuesday!  Paul interviewed with Tesla on Tuesday and it went really well.  We should be hearing back from them next week.

Happy Birthday to Grandma Terry on Thursday!  Mike and Wendy flew into Dallas Thursday evening.  They made it in time to see Mary for a little while before she went to bed.

Friday we went to Plano.  There is an authentic Bavarian restaurant there that we wanted to show to Mike and Wendy since Mike traveled to Germany a few times.  We went a little early since Mary was getting fussy, so we couldn't wait until dinner when there would be live music and more of the atmosphere we wanted to show off.

Saturday we spent the morning with Mike and Wendy then we had them babysit Mary and we went to the temple to do a session with Mom and Dad.  Afterward, we all met up for dinner.  I had neglected to make a reservation so we ended up waiting for an hour to get a table.  Mary slept right when we got seated and woke up when we got the bill. And she still slept the night even though she took a late nap!  She is so perfect.  After dinner, we all came back to the apartment and had ice cream, and played 9 innings.
Sunday we had both sets of grandparents over for church through zoom.  Then we had the bishop over and Paul blessed Mary.  He did a great job and there was a beautiful spirit there.
We had some sandwiches with fruit, salad, and chips for our Sunday meal then had the chocolate bundt cake and ice cream for dessert.  We played another round of 9 innings before Paul took his parents to the airport.  We talked with Mom and Dad for a couple of hours before they went back to the hotel.  It was a beautiful day.

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!

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....
