The Rest of Fall 2012...

 Anna Kate got her tonsils and adnoids taken out.  It was TOUGH.  Here is a picture of her with Teddy right before and then after there is no pic but...oh man....I couldn't even handle it and had to leave.  First of all, she is overly dramatic when pain is involved (to put it VERY mildly). Secondly, it took us about a week to figure out that the codeine was making her CRAZY. Thankful for sweet friends like Kelly that brought her a milkshake and she did enjoy getting to read non-stop for days on end.  Glad it's OVER. 

 Anna Kate played soccer all fall, winter in-door soccer and in the spring...her coach was so amazing.  Now she is done with soccer and hoping guitar lessons can be next gig.

 This is the pile I swept together from the playroom floor and I threw it ALL away.  #weproducemountainsoftrash

 Trying to get Petey to smile and be silly at the Ft. Worth Museum of Science and History...

 More of that.

 Anna Kate on a "bed of nails" there. 

 My dad came and "rescued" us one week after Anna Kate's tonsils were removed and I was just at the end of my rope. Thankful for him to say the least.

 Halloween Party at the SMU Tridelt house...a UT cheerleader.

 A pirate.

 Cinderella.

 Fellow cheerleaders :)

 A toucan (he's supposed to be a parrot and go with the pirate in an ideal-Halloween-costume world).

 "Living History Day" for school was the Civil War era this year.  It was a very over-the-top event!

 Special guests at Thanksgiving ;)

 And a little birthday celebration with some fruit tart. Happy 1st Petey! AKA

Petey, Peeps, Chuggie Chug, Happy Pete (he always kicks his feet when he's happy so this one is particularly clever), Petey McFretey, Petey McFuss...

And he had ANOTHER ear infection...
