U2 Concert

Rich and I had our first date in a LONG TIME when we went to see U2 on October 12 at the new Cowboys Stadium. That place is gigantic! He has always wanted to see U2, but tickets are usually sold out or WAY too expensive. Well, he got the tickets for his birthday this year, and let me just say, I would spend any amount of money to see them in concert again. They played most of their greatest hits and some songs of the new album. It was by far the best concert I have ever been to. Here are a couple of shots of the evening.

New Family Pics

Okay, so here are some of the fabulous pictures that my cousin, Julianne, took of Juliette and our family when she was a week old. Enjoy!

Introducing Juliette Nguyen!!!

Juliette was born yesterday, November 4, 2009 at 12:12 pm. She weighed 7 pounds, 15 ounces and measured 19 inches long. She has a full head of dark hair and is absolutely gorgeous! We are so grateful to have this second little miracle angel in our lives.

Our Lil' Pumpkin

Yesterday we went to the Big Orange Pumpkin Farm in Celina to take pictures, feed the animals, and go on a hay ride. It ended up being a rather cold and muddy day, but we had a good time nonetheless.

What a fun, chilly, and muddy day! Happy Harvest!

Shoes are a Girl's Best Friend

Ellie loves shoes. I like them, but I never considered myself a "shoe person" like my mom, sister, mother-in-law, and every other female I know. If I would let her, Ellie would spend all day in her room taking her shoes out of her drawers (in proper pairs, I might add) and putting them on herself. She has now taken to putting on mommy and daddy's shoes as well.

I would also like to add that Ellie usually wears pants around the house! It is just a strange coincidence that she happens to be running around in just a onesie on all three of these shoe wearing occasions. Gotta love those hamhocks! And I'm throwing in this pic of her in Melinda's adorable hat to show that she is a well-rounded accessorizer (and just cause it's darn cute!)

Ellie's Big Girl Room

Melinda and I have been painting flowers on Ellie's walls for the past three days to get her big girl room all finished. I have to say that I feel a great deal of accomplishment for our artistic endeavor. It was quite a bit of work, but I love the end result. Honestly, the pictures don't really do it justice, but I thought I would give you a photo tour of her new room. Thanks again, Melinda! I never would have gotten it done without you! (She made the little pillowcase in Ellie's crib too! Sew cute! :)
