Here are some new pictures of Max and Mom (Gina). They are from the Dallas Arboretum celebrating Halloween taken on Saturday. One is a picture of our famous annual Dallas Symphony "Spooktacular" event. Max was an astronaut and mom an alien. This year they made it to the top 10 in the custom contest, but 3 other cute little babies with store bought customs beat them! They still had lots of fun and are looking forwards to next year's annual event!

We can't believe it's already the middle of October! Last weekend we went to the pumpkin farm and Claire and Nanna searched the pumpkin patch for the "perfect" pumkins to bring home.

We are all in the halloween spirit. Claire got to pick out her halloween outfit and she is very excited (pictures soon, it's a surprise). Claire and her mom decorated two pumpkins and are sitting outside for everyone to see. Claire was very excited to get them outside by the flowers for everyone to see!

Last week we also took her to the zoo (free on Thursdays in October). She loved the monkeys, sheep, little chicks, dolphins and especially the polar bears. The polar bears put on a great show playing in the water with their toys. Mom, dad and Claire had a very nice day together at the zoo... ...it was 70 degrees, sunny, and not crowded at all (and as I mentioned free). Claire used the zoo map and helped us find our way around the zoo... she was our little gps for the day.
