November Picture Post and Thanksgiving 2017

We didn't take many pictures in November, but we still had fun! The twins celebrated the 50th day of school and we travelled to Big Canoe for Thanksgiving. Mommy also celebrated a winning tennis season with her CCV tennis team!

Over the river and through the woods, to Marmee's house we go!

We took our Christmas card pictures at Big Canoe.

October Picture Post and Halloween 2017

October was full of tricks and treats! We celebrated Collegiate's Homecoming, had a visit from Cougie, and enjoyed lots of Halloween related festivities.

Caroline and Mommy's October NYC Trip

We welcomed Baby Elaine into the family in September. Caroline and Mommy took a special trip together to New York City to meet our new cousin.

One of our first stops in NYC was Dylan's Candy Bar.

Caroline was excited to visit a real art gallery.

Of course, our favorite part was meeting Baby Elaine.

We got to eat out with Uncle Michael and Aunt Yoojin.

We also visited a couple other great restaurants with Marmee and Grampy!

At the American Girl Doll Store and Salon!

We visited Ellis Island to see the Statue of Liberty.

Caroline at the Raging Bull on Wall Street. It was packed!

We had a great time together.

The twins stayed home with Daddy. We brought them pjs for their American Girl dolls.

September Picture Post

September was a busy month! We visited Cape Charles (not a hit) and celebrated OktoberFest and Charlotte's 1st birthday. We also held a bake sale for the Houston SPCA after Hurricane Harvey hit Texas.

We did not have great weather during our trip to Cape Charles...nor did the girls have good behavior.

Despite the smiles, we ended up leaving early.

Charlotte turned 1 year old in September. We celebrated with doggie biscuit donuts.

Isabel was unsure about the treat...

...and so was Frances.

Back to School 2017

At the end of August, the girls went back to school! They were all excited about the new year. Caroline went into 3rd grade with Mrs. Katie Taylor and the twins went to Kindergarten with Mrs. Shelly (Margaret) and Mrs. O'Neill (Julia).

Caroline started off the year right with a delicious breakfast after a pancake making lesson from Daddy.

Meet the teacher day...the girls were nervous, but excited!

First day of school: Julia!
