Lucy's Arrival

We were so excited that we could plan our trip to San Antonio to coincide with the arrival our new niece/cousin! Her birth may have been a bit nerve wracking, but she finally arrived and is perfectly healthy.

Little Lucy was born at Wilford Hall Medical Center, which is where William also made his big entrance into the world.

Man of the hour comes to the rescue with more pain meds!

Last picture as a family of two!

Precious little Lucy! Her mommy and I had fun taking pictures of her a few days later.

This last one is my favorite!

10 on the 10th - October

1. Today is my mom's birthday. Happy Birthday Mom!

2. We don't have any snow yet. Yay! It is coming soon though.

3. James is still in Oklahoma City doing his upgrade training. No idea when he will be back, but I'm hoping it will be before Halloween. He seems to miss Halloween almost every year.

4. Eli is in the middle of transitioning from two naps a day to one nap a day. I hate these inbetween stages! It is really hard for him to get one good long nap in when we have to pick up Ben from school at noon and then William at 3:30.

5. The bays had decided to be a zoo keeper (William) and two zoo animals (a lion for Ben and a giraffe for Eli), but then Ben changed his mind and wanted to be a skeleton. I love when their costumes are themed. Sigh. Maybe I can convince Ben to change back.


6. I flipped the mattress in our room over today. I always forget to do that. Yay me!

7. Anyone else ever watch certain commercials and wonder how in the world they pitched that one (and how it got approved!)? At least these days I hardly ever watch commercials. I DVR everything and skip right past the commercials.

8. I need James to come home. I can't get to bed on time when he is gone. Someone tell me why I stay up so late when it is just me!!

9. I am obsessed with pumpkin recipes right now! So far I have made pimpkin chocolate chip muffins, pumpkin pancakes, and pumpkin snickerdoodle cookies.

10. William just blows me away with how smart he is sometimes. Saturday we had a converstation about multiplication and division. (and he totally gets both concepts)

Project 52 - Week 30

Week 30 ~ July 24-30

We were still in San Antonio this week, so we took the kids to feed ducks in Boerne, TX.

Sometimes more bread gets eaten by the humans than by the ducks.

Feeding the ducks with Papa.

For Baby Lucy

While we were in San Antonio, my mother-in-law and I got to throw a baby shower for my sister-in-law, Val. Our theme was "Cupcakes and Tea for the Mommy-to-be." It turned out great! We were worried about little Lucy making her arrival before the shower date, but as it turned out she decided to wait until after her due date to make her debut.
