I started typing this over a week ago. I just kept going back and adding little things, but never posting it. So this post is really just a list of our events of note over the last 10 days or so. April 10: We were playing the other day with all of Carson’s little toys … [Read more…]
This was the first Easter we’d spent with family in a few years. We drove up to Dallas on Saturday morning and drove back to Houston Sunday afternoon. So it was a fast trip with a full agenda. On Easter Sunday we went to church. Carson was lucky enough to have a friend in nursery. … [Read more…]
I had a doctors appointment today, 17 weeks and 2 days along. This sealed envelope contains the gender of Baby Z #2! I need a different name for this baby. I don’t like the way #2 sounds. Any suggestions? We weren’t sure at first whether or not we wanted to find out the sex. We … [Read more…]
With all the rain we’ve had this year it’s not been easy to get outside as much as we’d like to. Carson is so happy when he’s outside and with the yard we have here it is a pleasure to get out on a nice sunny day and enjoy it. Unfortunately when it rains the … [Read more…]
I didn’t take one that also pictured Ben’s boots, but I can assure you (and you know it’s true if you know my husband) that he was wearing his boots as well. I love these boys. Aren’t they handsome?
We are so excited about baby #2, but mixed in with that excitement is a bit of nervousness thinking about how in the world I am going to function with 2 babies a mere 22 months apart. I know, I know, people do it all the time. People have babies less than a year apart. … [Read more…]
Do you ever have those days as a mother where you just feel 100% blessed to have your sweet child? I’m not saying that I’m not always happy to have this little guy, but some days are just hard and frustrating. Today we are having a good day, but it is only 3:30 in the … [Read more…]
We had our 15 month check up last week with our new pediatrician here in Houston. She was wonderful and made me feel better about Carson’s head being in the 81st percentile. He weighs 25 pounds (58%) and is 30 inches tall (25%). I feel like I can’t keep up with every funny and entertaining … [Read more…]
Carson took his first step back in November, about a week after his first birthday. Since then he’s really just taken 5 or so steps at a time, and usually has to have some smiling face and a pair of open arms at the other end of his trek to make it worth his while. … [Read more…]
Ben suggested we take a little day trip to Galveston after church today, and while this meant I would get nothing done around the house, I agreed. We drove around for a while, walked along the sea wall, sat and played on the lawn of the Hotel Galvez, then went to Gaido’s for dinner. It … [Read more…]
