Back in the world of functioning

Following a few days in the hospital and a week of recovery, getting back into my normal groove is proving slow! Its been a while since I've had either the energy or the time to get on with the blog and wouldn't you know . . . there are forty-seven bajillion things I have to tell about my Darlings! Needless to say, they are crawling everywhere (very well I might add!), teething (and, Avery's two bottom teeth are almost completely out as of October 20!), and developing precious little personalities! Suffice to say, I have to load images from my camera and steal what I can from Aunt B's blog to fill you in but I will do it!!

This weekend I ran over to see my darlings on both Saturday and Sunday. Saturday, I dropped off their little "have a happy Halloween" cards and Sunday I dropped off the package of "boogie" wipes that I'd forgotten on Saturday!!

Saturday afternoon / early evening, the Darlings had a few friends over for Halloween and trick or treating in the neighborhood. Aunt B snapped a few which I've swiped from her blog!



Cher l'il darlings in their giraffe costumes!!



BFF Ryker dressed as a duck!



The May Flowers, Charlotte and Frances, as . . . you guessed it! LSU Cheerleaders!!

As luck would have it, Sunday was the day that Mommie and Daddy decided to hang the swing that Aunt B had loaned 'em! From a mighty tall branch of the oak tree, Daddy managed to hang the swing and, Riggs was the first to give it a try!





Cher, he was laughing and giggling and just loving every moment in the swing!!




When it was Avery's turn, she was not-so-pleased with the notion of swinging (though she didn't cry, the grimace on her face said it all!). Course, she's still playing with her new teeth . . . either biting her bottom lip OR hanging her tongue out and over 'em!

Avery and Riggs are such blessings!
