Halloween Fun!

We had a very successful Halloween here at the Welch house. On Thursday, we carved our family Jack o' Lantern. Then on Friday our little "Elmo" had a blast trick-or-treating. After a few houses, Molly got the idea and ended up unloading her bag twice!

Molly was a big help getting all the seeds out --

but she didn't like touching it!

Before trick-or-treating, Elmo went for a little swing --

and tested our candy!

Molly proudly shows off all her hard work!

Attack of the Killer Pigs!

Video from our visit to Trax Farms. It appears on camera that Molly was attacked by two pigs. She wasn't. She lost her balance by freaking out at the thought of being attacked by two pigs. She and dad are resting well.

***No person or animal was harmed during the making of this video.***

Trax Farms

We headed to Trax Farms with Grammy and Pappy for their annual Fall Festival. The day was complete with a hayride, train ride and pumpkin picking. Of course, Molly liked the train ride the best!

Daddy points out the pigs and goats.

Molly patiently waits to give the conductor her ticket.

A Fun Filled Weekend

This past weekend we were "Social Butterflies." It started Saturday morning when we invited some friends over for breakfast and to watch the Houston Pumpkin Festival Parade. That afternoon, we attended a surprise party for John's Gram to celebrate her 85th birthday. On Sunday, we spent the day at Gram's visiting with family and friends. It was great to see family from out-of-town and Molly enjoyed meeting her cousins Kristine and Megan for the first time.

Throw me some candy!
Gram was very surprised and emotional to see

all her family and friends gathered in her honor.

Molly made a special gift for Gram.

Molly has been very interested in cars lately,
so on Sunday, Gram let Molly take her car for a spin.

Molly even met a new friend at Gram's --

a caterpillar named Fuzzy.


Molly needed a rest from all the craziness!

Molly Rockin' Out!

Molly likes to play her guitar to the music of her fave band, The Laurie Berkner Band. Enjoy.

A Potpourri of Pictures

We apologize for the lack of blogging, but nothing really "momentous" has happened the last couple of weeks. We've just been plugging along waiting for the crisp Fall weather to get here. Please enjoy the following assortment of pictures that we've taken the last few weeks. We can't believe how big Molly looks in some of them. Where does the time go?

Molly enjoys sharing her mac n' cheese with Elmo!

A Saturday morning jam session with Daddy.

Molly loves trying on Daddy's stinky shoes!

We haven't "officially" begun potty training, but

Molly has found it's a great place to catch up on some reading!
