this past weekend was our annual fall fun weekend/thanksgiving with charlie's family. we had so much fun and luckily had really nice weather...not too hot (because it can be in texas in october...crazy annoying that it is still hot this time of year!) but beautifully sunny. the party is always at our aunt kathy and randy's house. they live on a bit of land that they have decked out with a great pool, poolhouse, and party barn. this year instead of the usual softball game, randy set up game stations where we competed for combined points. we will not go into the details of who won....we will just suffice it to say..the hastings need some work! we also got to visit charlie's mom and spent sunday hanging out with her and getting to eat some Frank's Pizza!!

smith and cousin london....a note on these two--they were so adorable together this trip. they would have full on discussions in baby language and played so good together. london is 3 months older than smith and she is a doll...so well behaved and so sweet. we had a blast!
