Eisley picked out what she wanted to carve and she wanted a girl monster. That night we went trick-or-treating. Both kids were dressed up as super heroes – Super Sister and Super Brother to be exact.

The kids picked flowers, completed a corn maze and chose a couple of pumpkins.

We started the day by cheering on Bryson at one of his t-ball games. Then we went out to lunch with Courtney’s family and then spent a little time at a Halloween party that one of my coworkers was hosting. Then it was back home for a little trick-or-treating.

We dressed Eisley up in her pig costume (a hand-me-down from cousin Finely) and set out to find some candy. After a brief tantrum (Eisley wanted to walk out into the street and we wouldn’t let her) we found our first house. Eisley knew just what to do. She picked up her basket and headed right to the front door. Her candy of choice was a Reece’s peanut butter cup. Good choice.

We visited a few more houses and even came across another little girl dressed as a pig along the way. We spent the rest of our evening rooting for the Longhorns and handing out candy.

We cooked fajitas, made homemade ice cream and swam in the Medina river.

We were lucky to have him for 6 weeks recently and Eisley met him for the first time on May 29th. She took to him right away (and I think he was pretty fond of her as well).

Some of the activities Eisley enjoyed while Eric was in town were:

  • A trip to the Frio river
  • A day at Dick Nichols park
  • A day at Barton Springs pool
  • The 4th of July in Pipe Creek, Texas
  • Backyard lounging in the baby pool
  • Plenty of eating out
  • Lots of family gatherings

Of course the camera was always nearby and we got a few pics of them together. Eric, Eisley already misses you and can’t wait to see you again.

On Saturday we met Courtney’s mom Patti and Courtney’s sister’s family for lunch at Matt’s El Rancho. On Sunday, we met my mom and sister at a restaurant in San Marcos.

After lunch on Sunday we spread a blanket out in the backyard, opened a bottle of champagne and just relaxed for a couple of hours.

I had promised Courtney that I would cook her anything she wanted for dinner that night. So later on I cooked steak and shrimp. We ate outside in the perfect weather.
