Anton's school band was asked to march in the Veteran's Day Parade downtown last week, so we didn't miss the opportunity to meet Tony downtown and watch. 
I was pretty excited Anna picked out her new dress to wear. She seems to enjoy matching Emma lately.
Beautiful giant flag. Besides watching Anton perform and just having fun with the girls, it really was a wonderful and patriotic thing to spend my time doing.
There's the Panther Band!!
And a very focused Anton! He said they had a great time.
There were lots of other exciting groups marching.
There's Elvis singing for the troops!!
There was some wide-eyed fascination with the military vehicles. 
The policemen, firemen and TRUCKS were exciting. People were always waving enthusiastically at the girls. Emma was excited to wave back and so was Anna when she felt like it. :)
Friday night we ended up making a very spontaneous trip to Austin. Tony had gotten ahold of some extra tickets to see a preacher named Rob Bell speak (NOOMA video guy). So I quickly called my sweet friend Kim to see if we could stay with them. Luckily they were free and the guys went to see Rob Bell while Kim and I hung out with the kids and each other. It was so wonderful to spend time with them, and of course the girls loved the adventure with Caleb and Callie!!Matt made us a yummy pancake breakfast Saturday morning.
The backyard was pretty wet and soppy, so we headed to the front.
There were lots of fun things to play with in the street. It was so fun to be on a cul-de-sac!!
A rare shot of Emma in any of the vehicles.
Her favorite thing to do was just walk down the street.

Her favorite thing to do was just walk down the street.Vehemently opposed to riding IN the wagon, but pushing it was fun!
Anna loved playing with the tools!
Then back inside for a movie that nobody sat still to watch for more than a few minutes.
On the way home, we stopped at our favorite camping site
They got a new horse. It was great fun to pet it.
More twinkies! Anna normally wouldn't be interested in this outfit, but after I put it on Emma, she wanted to match. We actually made it through lunch before Anna wanted to put her blue jeans back on. Thanks Gram for some stylin' duds!
A babysitter asked me the other day where I kept Juniors toys because he kept getting the girls toys when she was there. So I felt bad that he only had 1 that he doesn't really play with, and I bought him a new one the other day. This is what it looked like about 30 minutes after he started playing with it. This is why my sweet Junior has no toys. :( Oh well, at least Santa won't forget him!
