2015 Marfa Thanksgiving

For Thanksgiving this year Todd, Candor and I decided to go to Marfa.  Todd has not been able to take a vacation this year due to how busy work has been so it was like a little mini vaca.

Marfa is a tiny little town with not much to do which is exactly what we were looking for.  We rented this awesome loft that is right smack in the middle of town.  We did nothing but nap, watch movies, cook, drink coffee, go to book stores, go to the local grocery, and walk around town.

Candor watching the Macy's Thanksgiving parade and getting fired up to see Santa.

Playing in front of the local grocery store.

Who doesn't want shrimp and grits for Thanksgiving?!?!  So good!

Shopping for books.

A trip to Marfa is not complete without stopping at PRADA MARFA.

Shopping for geode rocks.  No seriously we spent actual money on rocks.  Todd said the boy needed some rocks so the boy got some rocks!

Eating biscuits and cruising around town.

Life is good.  Drinking the best horchata latte and watching the big screen.

23 Months! (Townes)

My little man is now 23 months old! He is so happy, sweet and funny!  His days are spent laughing and smiling...with only a few tears thrown in there every once in awhile. His new favorite loves this month are dandelions and helping me do things. Townes can spot a dandelion from a mile away and insists on grabbing every single one of them. He also insists on helping me do everything.  Some things take a bit longer to do with Townes helping but I'll take them taking out the trash everyday! His favorite foods is still tacos.  He gets fired up anytime we mention tacos and starts chanting....'TACOS! TACOS!'. He loves soccer balls.  One day he had a fit to try on one of Candor's soccer uniforms.  I have never in my life seen anyone so proud.  He was glowing and thought he was so cool like his big bro. Todd ordered them both a new Liverpool kit which was also Townes first soccer kit of...

15 Months! (Candor)

Candor man is now 15 Months old!  He is a bundle of energy and never stops.  He has two speeds... 0mph (asleep) and 100mph (ALL other times). He has become a super funny little guy.  On the daily information sheets I get after school silly is always circled.  Mrs. Maggie and Mrs. Lauris says he really cuts up during nap time.  When everyone is 'suppose' to be napping Candor will get off his mat,  go over to the ladies (the little girls in the class),  squat down, and whisper "hey hey" so they will get up and play with him.  This Tuesday there was a new little friend in class named Miles.  Mrs. Maggie and Mrs. Lauris said that Miles and Candor did downward dog and giggled at each other all during nap time. His teachers think he is hilarious now but I bet the older he gets the less funny he will be.  He better enjoy it now!

Those Cheeks!

We went to Maria's Taco Express for breakfast today....at noon. Late start to the day. Candor was cutting up a bit in his car seat so Todd picked him up. After a few minutes of laughing he passed out on Todd's shoulder.
