Some Thanksgiving Photos

Cara always has LOTS of fun with the Malloy kids. Here are some photos from Thanksgiving. You can see that Cara preferred pasta this year over turkey.

Up in Heaven

We will always have you in our hearts.

Our daughter "Peanut"

Here are some pages Cara made for her with the words "Peanut" and "Love Cara".

Halloween: Cara's first trick or treating

Last year Cara was a dressed as a pumpkin. This year she went as an angel.











But first... we started with a daytime party at daycare.












There were many activites planned including face painting. ... after we were unsuccessful there we elected for the temporary butterfly tattoo.

Here is Cara attempting a bean bag "toss".

She seemed to like the stickers and had fun with Pin-the-tail-on-the-donkey.

And here are some pictures of the trick-or-treating in the neighborhood.

Trip to Austin

We finally got out of Houston and took a trip to Austin, TX last October.

Here is a picture of us at the summit, Mount Bonnell.

We visited the capitol building (raining that day) while we drove around downtown area and UT campus.

One of our evenings we drove out to Lake Travis and had some decent food (with a view).

On the drive back we visited the Blue Bell ice cream factory (it has got to be one of the best ice cream in the country). Free samples!

Visit from Nana and Papa

We had a surprise visit just after Labor Day when Papa Piland had a business trip scheduled just south of Texas.

We had some good Texas BBQ in Kemah.

...visited the beach at Galveston

... and spent some quality time as a family.
