October


Well, the cat is out of the bag.  I am pregnant!  That, and a new school year, are just 2 of the many reasons I have neglected blogging.  Here are some October Highlights:
Elia's first field trip to the pumpkin farm tuckered her out!


Alumni weekend- we spent Sat morning at UD
Cap Bar

Trail from West side to the art village

Swing by the fish bowl

My parents came to visit for a long weekend!
So did Grandma Rowles, but I took no pics.  :(
 
We explored Grapevine with my parents




Obligatory Pumpkin Patch photo

My awesome room mom threw me a party the week I revealed to my class I was pregnant.  She also had a baby blanket made- gender neutral, that says "Jesus loves Baby Rowles, and so does 3rd grade!"

Halloween- a zebra and a kitty cat

Bittersweet- probably our last Halloween in Carrollton!
Pregnancy details to come...

Patrick's Graduation

The very reason grandma and grandpa were in town was to see Patrick graduate.

College Week


My school had college week and we had a door decorating contest.  My parents created this for me out of a rough sketch I gave them.  Yay UD!

A New Aunt!

So Uncle Tim popped the question Friday night. Ashley had her Senior Art Studio Friday night and once all of her dresses were modeled, he got down on one knee and proposed. Here is a video of it. (quality is not that great)




We have all been obsessed with Ashley from the day we met her, and these pictures will help illustrate that point. She is incredibly creative and talented. Here are some other dresses she made:






This was taken seconds after he popped the question. She looks so happy! The dress on the right is supposed to represent a perfume bottle.





This one represents the hair curler. Look at the shoes made out of electrical cords!












This dress represents a blow dryer. Same sort of shoe, just a little different design.












This one is probably my favorite, and Ashley spent a TON of time on it. This one represents eye brow pencils. The shoes are so freaking cool. Wish I had a closer up picture.





Now, an art show is probably about the worst place in the world to bring a toddler and a 4 year old to, but it obviously had to be done. UD's art village has lots of balconies to run up and down, and THANK God I had copiuous amounts of m&ms from Teacher Appreciation week. There was some pretty amazing art, including a few rock and pebble formations on the floor that could have very easily been destroyed by a curious Elia. Thats why I didn't get many more pictures, or if I did, they weren't that great. The girls looked beauteous as usual in their dresses.

























The white box they are sitting on was for the models to sit on. They were totally cheesing for the camera at the end of the night on their sugar highs!
Afterwards, Chris' cousin Katie, who is a freshman at UD came over to babysit so that we could all go out and celebrate. Welcome to the family Ashley!
