Cecilia Annabelle Bustos-Black

 

Cecilia was born November 1st at about 5am. She was 7 lb 10 oz.

Ryan and Giselle have a lot to work out, but for now we are so grateful for a healthy mom and baby. Cece is such a calm and precious baby.

I got to hold Cecilia when she was just an hour old!

Uncle Mike back from Vietnam. He came home with Dengue fever so he spent some time sleeping on our couch and some time sleeping at Plano Medical City!

Area marching contest finals. 

I was at the Ward trunk or treat long enough to hang up the photo op and to take a pic with Wester Wildcat Nate! Macey was at hockey and Ryan with the band. 

Area marching contest Prelims.

5am in the band hall so they can be at Prelims by 8am. But a thunderstorm rolled through and they didn't perform until 12pm.

We had a Halloween girls night with the Sumners.

Royal icing is the key to better looking cookies. Lesson learned!

I got to sub the day of Mavericks Cafe with my sped kids. They host a potato bar for the staff quarterly.

It got to be at Shawnee Trail on 50's day for Red Ribbon week. Here I am wearing a borrowed letterman jacket. I don't think Elder Black will mind!

This is my knock off version of a planter I had seen for $400 at a local boutique. It came together for about $50 I think. The stick was from my AZ hike!

 I chose to not attend Bruce's funeral in August so that I could come in October to spend a week with Julianne. It was selfish but also a blessing for her!

Max my walking buddy. Here we are talking to Elder Black.

I finished the Clue top while on my trip.

We had a yard sale and moved a lot of inventory. She is slowly clearing out for her move in April.

We had a yard sale during the eclipse!

It was so great of my AZ book club friends to come over and spend an evening with me.

Macey's dream would be to have Spork on a leash in public!!

J and I went hiking in Sedona. This treat is ice cream nachos. Delicious!

J and I went to Mesa. We went to the new Visitor's Center.

We also went to visit the Frassas. It had been a very long time since I'd been to see Grandma or Chuck. It was a really wonderful visit.
