October 10 - 16

 Mary turned 9 months old on Monday!  It was Columbus Day, so we didn't have her doctor's appointment until the next day.  She got her flu shot and she weighed in at 19 lbs. 12 oz. (76%), Height: 27.5 in. (45%), Head: 17.91 in. (89%).  After her doctor's appointment, the Relief Society President dropped by and had a short visit with me.  It was nice of her to come by and visit. 

Thursday I deep-cleaned our apartment and got some stuff ready for Wendy, Emily, and Andy to come into town for Fall Break.  They got to Austin that night.

Friday we went hiking at the same place Paul and I hiked last week.  Andy, Emily, and I hiked the full loop (2.2 mi) while Hannah and Wendy went back after about 1 mile because Addie was getting tired.  We went to Buc-ee's afterward, it was Emily's first time.  Hannah and Addie got some snacks and then headed home to give Addie time to sleep.  Mary slept in the car and on the hike, so she was doing okay.  The rest of us went to lunch before heading back to mine and Paul's apartment.  We only hung out for a little while before Paul and Matt showed up, they got to come home early for the weekend.  We went to the mall and got dinner and ice cream before calling it a night.

Saturday we met at Matt and Hannah's apartment for breakfast before heading to the Texas Pumpkin Fest.  We checked out their tent of terror, did a train ride, looked at the booths, and saw the end of a magic show.  We got some cute pictures of Mary in the pumpkins and Matt and Hannah took Mary on the spinning pumpkin (like the teacups at Disneyland).  Mary wasn't sure she liked that one.  Afterward, we went to a pizza place for lunch. We went back to Matt and Hannah's for games and some people took naps.  Hannah made us dinner then we went downtown to see the bat bridge.  The bats didn't come out, so that was too bad.

Sunday morning we had everyone over for brunch after church and we played games before Wendy, Emily, and Andy had to go to the airport.  It was a very fun weekend!
