We're getting ready to head out for the Stake Mother-Daughter camp out in a few hours. I need to go pack but wanted to post a few pics of Megan's early birthday present from Granny. She LOVES it.

Visits and Visitors
It's been a busy week but we've enjoyed most of it (we are pretending the BYU game of last night didn't happen...sad...their first loss in Megan's lifetime).
Megan had fun last Saturday with all the space left when we moved the coffee table to watch the BYU game.
Sunday we got to Skype with Dan's parents and his sister Heather. We are so glad Dan's parents got a webcam so Megan can see them more often than every few months!
We got to visit with a family from the ward for FHE on Monday, Megan did great and slept the entire time. She had her first tastes of spaghetti for dinner Monday and she LOVED it. She ate about as much as I did.
Yay! spaghetti face
We noticed a yucky visitor last Sunday in the form of a roach...gross.
So we called the exterminator and he came on Tuesday. But his spraying led to the sighting of one more little friend. And this one was still alive. I hate (HATE!) roaches. I was tempted to go hide in my bedroom for the afternoon with Megan and leave it to Dan to kill, but I overcame my fear and grabbed Megan (I couldn't leave her on the floor where the roach could possibly get her) and squished it with one of Dan's shoes. Then we flushed it. Sweet success.
Let's see. Oh! We visited the Children's Museum on Wednesday for playgroup--they have this "tot spot" filled with toys and balls and mirrors and play areas. Megan loved it. I'm ready to buy a membership. It's only about 6 minutes away from our apt and we could definitely go more often.
Megan loved those cylinders--she would stand behind them and push them all around the room.
We went over to another ward member's house on Wednesday for dinner and games. Megan did not fall asleep there like we hoped she would, but she was happy for the most part so we had still had a good time.
We had a playdate with Kat and Kaden on Thursday. We went to Chick-Fil-A and I remembered why I loved going there in high school. Yummy. And it's very clean. I think it's my favorite fast food place.
Thursday night we witnessed the unraveling of our Cougs...hopefully they will regroup and be back to their usual winning selves by next week. We did have fun watching at my parent's house despite the outcome. Megan got to open a birthday present early. It's a scoot toy and a walk-behind toy all in one. She loves it. My mom has the picture so I'll post them later.
Today Megan and I met Dan for lunch. We got to check out the Tunnels--the underground part of downtown Houston. We had lunch down there and then got to see Dan's building and office.
He will be moving to a new office in a few weeks and will miss working downtown but is excited for a new experience.
Welp. Big gulps, huh? See you later!

A Quick Tag
I was tagged by Michelle--I'm supposed to open my 4th folder of pictures and post the 4th picture, so here it is!
This is from a family reunion with my mom's family in July 2007. One of my aunts took this picture and the date in the corner is wrong. That is a lovely picture of me at about 24 weeks along and includes Dan, my grandfather and his wife, my mom, 2 aunts, many cousins and cousin's children.
I agree with Michelle- this is a low stress tag. So I tag Kat, Jamie, and Mom...but only if you feel like it and have time :)

Fall Time
It finally is starting to feel like summer might be over down here. It's been nice in the mornings and not too hot in the afternoons. Megan and I have been going for walks on the bayou trail almost every day. I'm really enjoying getting more time out of the house.
And we still swim occasionally but it's getting a little chilly (you know, when the water is only 80). We swam between conference sessions last Saturday. Megan didn't mind the cold water at all. What she did mind was that I wouldn't let her just walk wherever she wanted in the pool. She just wants to be independent!
The past four days Megan has suddenly returned to longer napping! Yay! I don't know how long it will last but I am loving it.
Well, we are enjoying October so far and are looking forward to Dan's and Megan's birthdays in a few weeks. We can't believe our little girl is almost one. She's quite the cruiser and crawler but isn't taking steps yet. She has such a happy and silly personality and she makes us laugh every day. She's an easygoing and fun kid. What can we way--we like her!
I hope all of you are enjoying your fall time as well!
Megan likes feeling dizzy.
Cute leggings...
New PJs. I love how her legs and arms look so skinny and then her belly just sticks out.
A preview of her Halloween costume. Look familiar? Yes, it IS the same thing she wore last year. But this year it fits.
Her Halloween outfit from Granny. I love the polka dots.
