Veteran's Day

Brooke and Mommy went to the Veteran's Day parade today. We had a great time! Brooke told several of the Veteran's "thank you" as they came by in the parade. She sported her red,white & blue outfit made by Ahma.

Ross Perot was the gues of honor but her favorite participant in the parade was Ronald McDonald (thanks Kiki)!

After the parade we went to see Bebi & Chester (Poppy's Aunt & Uncle) in Duncanville. Chester looked outstanding considering he is in his 80's and just had double bi-pass surgery. He said they actually cleared him to drive today. Chester fought in WW II so it was nice to see him today. I explained to Brooke that he was just like the soldiers we had seen in the parade. Brooke told Chester "thank you" (for serving) and gave him an American flag. It was a priceless moment.

Halloween 2009

We had a great Halloween with the kids. They started Friday afternoon with trick or treating at the school. Brooke was dressed as Snow White with Wyatt by her side as the Happy dwarf. Papa and Elizabeth were there help with the kids and see them in action. Brooke's friend Cooper was a football player and Harrison was a pirate.

Saturday they went trick or treating with their cousin Dru. He was dressed as a big chicken which Brooke and Wyatt thought was very funny. They did a great job and Brooke remembered to tell the neighbors "thank you" for her treats. They looked so grown up going up to the neighbors house all on their own.

Other updates: We are on week 14 of phase 2 of the remodel and things are really coming along. We hope to move in by the first of December. I am exactly 4 months pregnant today so that should give us plenty of time to get in and get our routines back in place before the Chandlers grow to a family of 5! Thank goodness we will now have enough bedrooms and baths to hold us all!
