It's a Full Moon- and I'm freezing!

So, I must have PMS or something b/c I wearing a coat and socks in 80 degree weather. Oh, and I'm eating cookies as I type this blog.

Hey Sunday I played backup chords on the keyboard for P&W! I was a little nervous, but I had fun! It was really neat getting to play w/ Austin. We had practice together last Thursday night. I was really nervous-since this was the first time I've played with the band. During one of the songs I glanced back over my shoulder to look at Austin and saw that he was playing his bass with his EYES CLOSED! - and the sound that was coming out of his bass was nothing short than amazing. I thought, "Geez, here I am with my eyes glued to my music, hands shaking- and you've got your eyes closed!" I love him! He's so talented!! :) But, Sunday went well.. I look forward to playing again in the future.

Reagan is starting preschool next Tuesday. The countdown has begun- for both of us! She is really looking forward to seeing her friends again. Today we went to "War-Mark" as she calls it and got her a pink Barbie backpack. I mean, come on, did I honestly think there would be another choice? Two words- Pink and Barbie. If any of you out there are wondering about Christmas gifts - again, Pink and Barbie.... I was folding the girls clothes the other night and Austin looked at me and said, "Good Lord! There's just sooo much pink in this house!" I had to laugh! :)

A funny story on Reagan- She has a t-shirt we got her this Italian restaurant in Blowing Rock called "Pssghetti's." The picture on the shirt is of a kid eating spaghetti and getting it all over his face. The caption below the pic says, "I'm a pssghetti head!" This is not one of Reagan's favorite t-shirts. She thinks it's a boy shirt b/c of the colors. You know, it doesn't have pink on it...Anyway, she wore it to bed the other night b/c it's all she had clean at the time. I was behind on laundry. The next morning she woke up, looked at me and said very loudly, "I'm Not a Pssghetti Head!!!" She repeated this several times. She asked if she could put on a different shirt. I said, "sure." So, she went into her room and came out wearing a...... yep, you guessed it, a pink shirt!!

Cara Grace is crawling with ease now. And pulling up on everything in sight! She'll be walking before we know it... I'm not encouraging this behavior!! :) She has a funny crawl. Her knees never touch the ground. But, she gets around pretty quickly this way. I think this strange crawling is due to the fact that we have all wood floors in our house. She also is starting to make different sounds and talking some. She can say uh-oh, bye-bye, da da, and me (her word for mama.) It's so cute. She makes this sound like she's got something stuck in her throat or kind of like a low growl. My dad said she looks like Smeagal (sp?) off Lord of the Rings. - With her funny sound and her weird crawl. Too funny!!

Well, I started school last week. I had my first math class Monday. I am trying to get a head start on my homework.. Austin is a great tutor! Except for tonight. He was trying to read a book and I kept interrupting him saying, "I'm confused, I don't get it..." Slowly but surely I'm "getting it."

That's all for now. New pics to be posted soon!!! Hope you all have a blessed week!

Hey Lyndsey!
When I used to play in our worship band with Matt...(he plays bass too!) I would be glued to the music with hands shaking too sometimes. I can sing without being nervous..but playing the keyboards is another story! I'm glad I'm not the only one! ;)
I really want to say that it sounds like you have such a beautiful family!
