Halloween 2007

Halloween this year was a blast! Mallory could actually say trick-or-treat, and her favorite word right now is pumpkin.

For school, Mallory dressed up as an Aggie cheerleader. She was so cute. As you can see in the picture (sorry won't post, will get it up on the site soon), the only way for me to get her picture was to ask her to make a funny face. Before, everytime I tried and asked her to smile, she just turned her back. A stinker already, what can I say.

She turned out to be a very cute lioness. We had a short trick-or-treat experience, she was more interested in walking by the stores in the mall (that is safer then taking her to some street in town with all college students), then actually stopping in an asking for candy. Oh well!

Hope you all had a wonderful and safe Halloween!

October Events

It has been a busy few months. Mallory has been sick, and I would like to say finally over her sickness, but not yet. She still has a cough and runny nose. Hopefully, by the weekend she will be feeling better.

This past weekend, Mallory and I went home and had a nice relaxing weekend. I took Mallory to the football game, and her first reaction was, "Go Aggies!" Well, the team was maroon and white, so it was close :) We are really brain washing her here.

Saturday, Kyla and I took the girls to the pumpkin patch. They were able to feed the goats, and just run around. They both had a blast and were worn out. Mallory loved playing with Tatum!

Justin has finals all this week, so he has been busy studying for his 4 tests. How I am glad it is him, not me. So exciting news ~ he did get a call from the Director at the Career Center today. I guess Kellogg has a summer internship that is very prestigious and A&M has been trying for several years to get them here to interview. Well, they have finally figured out what they had been missing and will be on campus next month to interview. The career center had only 5 spots for interviews and someone thought Justin would be a good candidate. So he was really excited, but product marketing just isn't something he is interested, so he turned it down. Was he crazy or what? Well, I guess this does give someone else the opportunity, that would be interested. I am so proud of how hard he is working and he has really enjoyed it.

Well, here are a few pictures of the girls at the pumpkin patch. Enjoy!!

August 17, 2007

Well, we have made it several weeks now. Justin and I have gone back to school. Justin started orientation on August 6th and I began working full time on the 8th. Mallory had a little trouble adjusting to "School" but by Thursday she was showing mom the way to her new class. She began to settle in, as soon as she was able to take her baby to school. She is such a little girl.

Here is a picture of Mallory. Again, I know I say it often, but she is growing so fast. Hope everyone is doing well, and I would say we will be back to visit soon, but it doesn't look like it. Starting Labor day weekend, we have 3 football games in a row, so you know we can't leave then. Gig'em Aggies!

Talk with you soon!

Leighann

Welcome!

Welcome! We are all excited to begin a new chapter in our lives, as we venture to Aggieland. We needed an easy way for everyone (really Grandparents) to keep updated on what Mallory is doing these days.

Justin and I are amazed at how fast her little life is flying by. She is already 18 months old, and it seems like she says a new word everyday. Just like today we are on our way home from Clovis, and she points out the window and say, "Plane". What? She has never said that before, but saw a plane flying over DFW and wanted us to know. Mallory has shown that she is definitely a little girl. She can't go anywhere without her babies. It starts early.

Well, we hope we can stay in touch with a little note here and there on what's going on here in Aggieland. Please remember you are all welcome anytime!

Justin, Leighann, and Mallory
