All of this over 12 days with many great visits with family and friends.

Oh and during this time Timmy became quite the walker, so our baby is now a toddler!

A Day at the Beach

Today we went down to Galveston. It's only about 15 minutes from my parents house which is very nice. We all had so much fun! We fed the birds, we built sand castles, saw horses and of course played in the water. Jimmy surprised me by actually wanting to go out in the water. On our last visit to the beach he was content to stay in the sand. Addy of course was all about getting in the water. It was keeping her close that was the problem, she is TOO independent! It was Timmy's first time at the beach, his favorite part was knocking down sand as soon as anyone could dump it out. Towards the end he started putting handfuls of sand in his mouth, YUCK! At that we knew it was time to go and get the kids some lunch! Thanks Mom & Laura for sharing such a fun day with us!

And Dave/Daddy We'll be seeing you soon!!!

The Children's Museum

Today Grandma took us to the children's muesem and the kids had a blast!!! We used to go here all the time when we lived in B/CS, but it's been almost 2 years. Thanks Grandma!

Day 3

Today we hung around the house in the morning. At lunch time Nana took the kids up in the attic for a picnic and to read a chapter in their new magic tree house book. They loved it! In the afternoon we found a great patch of bluebonnets for picture taking. Then we headed out to Irving to see Aunt Jennifer. We played at a park, had dinner, and took a walk by a stream. Another fun filled day!

WE LOVE YOU DADDY!

Our Trip... so far

So far we are half way through day 2 of our trip, and we have done a lot! First stop was to see Uncle Stephen in San Marcos. That was fun, the kids got to play guitar, and there were some pretty flowers out back. Next stop was in Round Rock to see the cousins. The kids played hard and burned off some energy. Tried to get pics of them...first one they were wrestling. Second and third Addy and Timmy were both wailing. Oh well. Then we finally made it to Nana & Papa's in Cedar Hill. This morning Nana took Jimmy & Addy on a treasure hunt. They LOVED it! She made them a map and everything. They got lots of fun "treasure" including chocolate coins, fruit snacks, granola bars, some money, and some toy snakes. Thanks Nana! That brings us to now Timmy is napping, Jimmy is with Nana running errands, and Addy is trying to help me blog. Hope everyone is doing well! And Dave/Daddy WE MISS YOU!!!

the RUG

ok so funny thing we bought a rug we liked and came home and it looked so silly. explanation we bought a 5x7 thinking yea that's big, but no didn't even cover half the floor. so i went back last night and exchanged it for the next size up. so here are the pictures of the "new" living room from all angles. i forgot to take before pictures sorry, but believe me it's a world of difference. so far i'm lovin' it and there is more to come. i'm going to visit my mom, and she is going to help me make some new throw pillows for the couches to tie in some of the other rug colors. thanks mom!!! who knows maybe i'll even get adventurous and do curtains when i get back!
