whew! what a weekend we phillips girls had!! we did a lot, but we got some rest in too. nice change of pace.
thalia had a pretty uneventful first halloween, except when her mom kept trying to take pictures of her in her halloween bibs! what a turkey! the girl is a ham every other time. oh well. i think she is still cute!
this one has a witch on it and you can't see it in the picture but the witch's feet dangle down and thalia kept putting them in her mouth. it was funny.
now on to what you are all wondering...enough with the bibs! what was thalia for halloween!! well, all i can say is, her last name is phillips...
would you believe chris actually picked this out at old navy LAST halloween and i think he has been counting down the days until she could wear it!! i think she looks adorable and silly and as you can see, she was loving it!
on saturday, thalia and i got bundled up for a "walk to cure juvenille diabetes." while i have no personal connection to juvenille diabetes, i am always up for supporting medical research, especially for kids. plus it gave thalia and i something to do and gave me a good excuse to get some good walking in. i definitely think my hormones have yet to re-regulate after being pregnant because i was so emotional waiting for the walk to start! there were all these huge groups of people with matching shirts walking for kids they knew with juvenille diabetes. some of them had cute team names like anna's angels and luke's lifesavers. sorry to be a sap, but it is so sad that so many people are affected by this. i was definitely glad to contribute my little part. here is thalia getting ready for our adventure:
so after our 2.5 mile walk, i had the brilliant idea to meet our cousins elizabeth and sophia at the biggest mall in north carolina to WALK AROUND!!! needless to say i was pooped by the end of the day. but elizabeth and i had a great time hanging out and talking about the babies and life in general. the girls had fun it seemed, though they pretty much just got a free tour of the mall. they did share a grilled cheese sandwich for lunch. thalia did really well with it. i tore it into small pieces and she moved it around her mouth a bit. she has a classic face whenever she gets a first bite of something, even stuff she has every day. it's pretty funny.
in case you didn't know, babies don't understand daylight savings time or its end. i did try to prepare for this by going to bed early last night but the texas/texas tech game was so good!! lo and behold at 615 this morning my daughter was wide awake. my body on the other hand can read the clock and was not so bushy tailed. but we played quietly and she took a nap around 9. i laid back down for a while but then the single-mom brain kicked in and i decided i should take a quick shower before she woke up. now she went to bed just before 7 so after extreme home makeover, it is bedtime for me. the good news is that i have to be up around 6 tomorrow am anyway.
ALSO this weekend, thalia got to try out her sippy cup. gamma (aka grandma donna) had given her a sippy cup with some juice when thalia stayed in michigan but i kept forgetting to get "baby" juice. then today i stopped at kroger and wouldn't you know, IT'S THE SAME DARN JUICE!!! my goodness. so i put some juice in her cup and diluted it with some water. i'll have to get a picture of her tomorrow (the camera was in the car). she did the same funny face she always does and really couldn't figure out what she thought about the whole thing. she cracks me up.

i think that is it. hey, i gave you fair warning that we had a crazy weekend. oh, and i think we finally found a church we like. good size, nice people, great worship. i am excited to go back in a couple weeks.
okay, that's it for real. sorry to keep you so long. i hope you enjoyed the pictures. more to come as always. thanks for your prayers and love and support. we couldn't survive like this without it.
much love and hopefully a little more sleep,
c, c, and t
