Sweet, Sweet Girl

 

The days are numbered for our little only child.  I can't help but be a little sad for her.  I know she will ultimately know how fortunate she is to have a brother, but I have a feeling she might be hating us for at least a little while.

 

She's going to be a fabulous big sissy to "Bubba", as she calls him.  She's already practicing with her baby dolls and her sweet, caring personality will certainly be coming in handy.

My heart could just explode, I love her so much.

Landa Park Train Ride... again

So, the train at Landa Park is one of our favorite quick trips from home.  If you live in the area and haven't been, please go!  

And if you go, don't forget to wear your rockin' sunglasses so you look super cool in all the pictures :)

Happy Birthday Gramma!

 

Happy Birthday Gramma!

We celebrated my mom's 40th birthday :) on August 10th.  So, of course, there was the perfect opportunity for a family picture!  One where we are all showered, dressed, and in the same place. 

Zach's always in charge of the timer on the camera so we can all be in the shot.  Every time, we get at least one shot that looks like this:

 

Zach's making a mad dash to be in the right place at the right time.

 

There, that's better!  

See, in the first one, where we are all laughing because he's just run across the room and jumped in his spot?  I happen to like that one the best. :)

 

Hope your birthday was fabulous Gramma.  We LOVE you!! 

Babies!

Two of my very best friends here in Wimberley are also pregnant!

Carmen (in middle) and Shannon both have 2 years old boys and now we are all expecting before the end of the year.  Carmen is 6 weeks behind me and Shannon is 2 weeks behind her.  

We have known each other since our toddlers were only 3 months old and it's so awesome to go through this next phase in life with them.  Carmen is expecting a little girl to join Harper and Shannon is going to be a mommy of 2 boys when another little man joins Paxton.

Get ready Wimberley!

30 Weeks

 

Oh my!  So, I've got 60 some days left.

That's just 60 more days of:

one child, who still naps, kind of listens to me, and can follow simple directions

sleeping through the night

all things pink and girly

being about to ride in Gramma and Grampa's truck all together

the freedom of a child who eats real food, takes only one nap, and doesn't have a bazillion diaper changes a day

and

life as we know it being a family of three

(I can get sentimental really quickly, but at the same time I try to remember that all these yuck-o symptoms of pregnancy will be GONE in about 60 days.  Wahoo!)

Summer Time: Around the House

Around the House

There's a never ending to-do list around here and our little helper is always up for a task.  Well, sometimes.  Needless to say from the following pictures, she's been keeping herself busy lately!

Summer Time: Around Town

Around Town

We've hit up the VFW's Memorial Day Rodeo, Papa's birthday dinner at the Grist Mill, Christin and Jordan's wedding in Houston, hanging at Lake Travis with the Grahams, swimming at Gramma and Grampa's pool, having "Marco's Mondays" at Marco's with Marco and his adorable wife Eva (who both adore our Tatum), Wimberley's July 4th Parade, gymnastics class in San Marcos, and lastly, scootin' around on Papa's new Vespa.
