Halloween Fun

We had a fun Halloween week. Daniel dressed up as Spiderman. He loved his costume! He wouldn't let us call him "Spidey" until he had his mask on. The weekend before Halloween we went to the Woodland Park Zoo for their Pumpkin Prowl. There were hundreds of carved pumpkins and kids could go and get candy. The next morning we went down to the waterfront for some trick or treating.

Halloween morning we flew to Austin to spend the weekend with Taschi, Tony, Soli and Juliana. Daniel and Soli were so excited to see one another. Guille, Maria Martha and Reni also came up to spend the weekend with us. Soli decided that she wanted to match Daniel, so she was Spiderman also. They looked so cute together. Friday evening we went over to a friend of Soli's for a Halloween party. Then we did some trick or treating around Taschi's neighborhood. Saturday morning we went to Longhorn Caverns and did a really cool tour of some caves. The caves were created from underground rivers, which is very unique way for a cave to be made. Sunday we went to a great little taqueria. A bluegrass band was playing there and Daniel and Soli loved to dance to their music. I left Sunday evening, but the group all had fun on Monday going to place called Going Bananas where Daniel and Soli were able to run around a be crazy. Juliana also got into some of the fun!

Sugar and Spice and Everything Nice

We had our 20 week appointment and ultrasound. Daniel came with us so he could see his new brother/sister during the ultrasound. The baby is great, although scrunched up for most of the visit. Daniel got to hear the heartbeat which he really liked. After about 20 min. of checking out all the organs we found out the baby is a GIRL!!!! Daniel asked how we could change it to a baby boy and we told him we couldn't. He then asked "Why?," which was a bit harder to answer. We are all super excited and can't wait for the last 20+ weeks to pass.
