Busy Bees

Sydney's birthday twin Jackson. Hilarious. She grabbed onto him and was hugging and kissing him and he just stood there looking quite shocked.
Trying to be a big girl like the 2 year olds.
This is the birthday girl Sybil!
Wow, we have been really busy with school, work, travel and birthday parties. I haven't been great about taking my camera with me, because sometimes I just want to enjoy hanging out without trying to capture the moment for the perfect blog post! However, I did get a couple of cute ones from one of the 2 birthday parties we went to this weekend (happy birthday Sybil and Patterson!). Forgive my random thoughts, but here is a quick update on us. We have been loving the cooler weather and have been playing outside every day after school. I had the great idea to get TCBY and go eat and play at the park. I underestimated how messy melting ice cream is when you forget the diaper bag and wipes and underestimated how much dirt will actually stick to ice cream hands. It was a nice thought though :). Work is going really well and I am loving the kiddos on my case load this year. Today I had a client of mine ask me if I knew his dad. I said no and he replied "Well, he is tall and really hairy, even on his butt." His mother would die! Oh, and Welcome October! We are looking forward to watching the Razorbacks defeat Ole Miss (PLEASE Lord, PLEEEEEEASE!!!), going to the state fair, finding a new pumpkin patch because ours was flooded :(, Boo at the Zoo, and hopefully spending John Austin's first Halloween showing him the ropes of trick or treating. I will be going to the Arkansas Speech Language Hearing Association Conference in Hot Springs next week and Brent will be holding down the fort alone for a couple of days. He is an equal partner in the Walker house, so I am not worried (OK maybe just a little that Sydney will walk around the house yelling "Mommy" because she is lost without me). That is life in a nut shell. I need to move the laundry over, balance the check book, clean up the kitchen and playroom, and try to get in bed on time. Happy October 1st!!!

Yea for October! I definitely love Jackson's "deer in the headlights" look while Sydney is hugging him. She is so sweet to Jackson - maybe one day he'll hug her back (instead of just standing there). :)

Yeah Octobers here! Can't wait for Syd to love on JA in few weeks! And I have faith in Brent just don't expect the house to be clean when you get back! I have learned real quick keep expectations low!!! My main one usually is keep the baby alive while I go wherever and things will be fine!!! He can do it!

Lauren, it was so good talking to you the other day and if it was only for a few minutes. Sydney's hair is getting so long. I love it. It won't be too long before we're coming in town. Well Thanksgiving, but I'm counting down the weeks. Can't wait to see you guys. Love you!
