New Arrival!

Miss Virginia Logan Bass made her arrival (with a touch of drama) on February 13th, 2012 at 1:05 p.m..  She was a scheduled C-section for that day but decided she would give me regular contractions that morning while waiting for surgery!  She has perfect timing already!  As for my first C-section..... let's just say it will be my last. NO fun but worth it for my girl!  Here are a few shots from this week. Don't worry, many more to come including a visit from her Aunt Temple!

Here are some of her visitors the first few days.

Grandparents!

Getting ready for Santa!

Thanksgiving

It occurred to me that I better put up Thanksgiving pictures before Christmas is here!

Hum Hum's 90th birthday!

Hum Hum (Thomas's grandmother) celebrated her 90th birthday in style at the Fredericksburg Country Club last weekend.  Everyone showed up to support her and to celebrate.  Here are a few of the many pictures taken at the grand event.

Halloween 2011

Yay! Margaret is old enough to enjoy trick-or-treating!  She didn't quite understand at first, but then she caught on and couldn't get enough! She still doesn't say "trick or treat" in front of the strangers but she will eagerly stuff her hand in the candy bowl and say "I want this one- can you open this?!"  At least we made her say "thank you."  It was much more fun sharing the evening with the Becks and little William as the Demon Decon!  The men enjoyed their own "treats" in solo cups so everyone was happy.

Yet ANOTHER pumpkin patch

A couple weeks ago we discovered kid heaven at Layman farms pumpkin patch. Margaret had the BEST time. Check this out...

Pumpkin Patch

Margaret enjoyed going to the pumpkin patch with her crew at Ms. Rebeka's. She was kind enough to send us a few pictures from the outing. We have the best sitter ever!
