Superman and Hot-Air Balloons

Forgive me bloggers for I have sinned. I have been MIA for far too long. I really don’t have a reason for my absence except that I guess I’ve had a bit of blogger’s block and felt my daily routine was just too busy and mundane for my blog. So for an update I present to you a list of happenings.

- The school year has been flying by. Seriously it will be Christmas before we know it, and personally I can’t wait, it’s my favorite time of year.
- I spent a weekend in San Marcos with my parents visiting my sweet little sister Alli. We had so much fun hanging out, visiting the glass bottom boats, eating way too much yummy food and enjoying a ton of laughs!
- Celebrated Rob’s 31st birthday on October 20. I surprised him with a dinner at Fogo de Chao. Amazing food, great bottle of wine, the best company (my sweet hubs) and presents! Happy Birthday my love!
- Family birthday celebration for Rob and Tim’s Birthdays! Grandmother and Granddad came down for the celebration; I just love seeing them!
- Family celebration of Rob and Bob’s (Rob’s dad) birthdays, yes more Oct birthday celebrations! Another amazing dinner, this time at my in-laws house.
- Halloween. Elliana and Jonas were so cute in their costumes! Check out some pics below.
- And this morning, November 1, 2009 I woke up to a loud sound of what I thought was a strange yard tool of some sort. I let Toby outside and the sound continued which freaked my little dog out completely. As the sound appeared to get closer, I looked around but didn’t see anything until; a shadow from above engulfed my backyard. I looked up to see a hot-air balloon sailing very close to the top of my house. The balloon landed in the lot directly across the street from my front yard as a second balloon sailed directly over my house. I’ve seen a hot-air balloon before but never that close and definitely never in my front yard!


My hero, Super Jonas!

Who needs an alarm when there's a hot-air balloon waking you up!
