Time to stop and smell the roses

Today was the PERFECT day...the weather was gorgeous...Sally slept 7 hours last night...it was Sunday...and we went to Woodward Park and the Tulsa Rose Garden. We went to the park and walked around for about an hour. It was absolutely beautiful and so relaxing! It was the perfect ending to a great weekend!

Brown Bear, Brown Bear

What do you see? I see an AMAZING quilt! Sally's great aunt Susan made a beautiful quilt for Sally. It has all the animals on it and she already loves it. She also received a brown bear and the book, of course! Sally also got to meet her great aunt Jody and her cousins Michelle, Lauren, and Kylie. It is always fun for Sally to meet family! Thanks for coming to visit, and thank you Susan- we love, love, love the quilt!



The pictures don't do it justice...

Happy Friday!

Just a few pictures of our girl to kick off the weekend! I hope everyone has a great one!
This seat is her new dinner time place- she hangs out here while we eat dinner-- she never likes to miss any action!

Precious Toes!

We LOVE this green dress...Sally has heard green is a must have for spring!

This is Sally's bath towel...its warm, cuddly, and it makes her giggle!

First Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day 2009! What a special first mother's day. We went back to Dallas for a quick weekend. We checked on our Dallas house-- yep, still love it--- nope, it is still not sold! Later we spent some time with some great friends and family. Saturday afternoon Sally got to meet Lisa-- thanks for coming over, Lisa! We went over to Andress and Patrick's new ADORABLE house and Sally visited with them and got to meet Andress's mom and dad. We miss you guys so much and we can't wait until you come up on Memorial Day weekend!! Next we went to BJ's house for a dinner party and caught up with great friends from school. Sally LOVED all the attention and getting to sleep while being held- its her favorite! Sunday started with Einstein Brothers bagels and coffee compliments of my sweet husband.Then we went up to Denton to spend the afternoon with family. We celebrated Jack's 6th birthday and mother's day all together! It was a wonderful weekend.


Mother's Day 2009


Happy 6th Birthday, Jack!

This picture does not capture the moment at all. Madison (my young cousin), Rob (my nephew), and Ellyn (my niece) were just precious as they were looking at Sally. They were just mesmerized and so sweet as they watched her drift off to sleep. However, the moment passed before I could get the camera out-- they were all ready to head out the door for birthday cake!


This is Sally's new favorite way to sleep while Ted is holding her. (Turn your head to the side- it s much cuter!)

First Bottle

Sally has passed another milestone-- ok, maybe it was more of a milestone for me. She has had her first bottle. Ted gave it to her last Thursday evening. She was a fan of the bottle. It is clear that she doesn't really care where the food is coming from-- as long as she's eating!

This is a special "Daddy Only" look. She will only laugh like this for Ted.

Thanks, Dad...this is pretty cool!

Sally and Daddy. (Pay no attention to the door-less closet in the background. The doors are in the garage awaiting new paint. It makes picking out what to wear much easier!)

Great-Granddaddy

Sally had the privilege of meeting her great grandfather on Sunday. Van and Suzy (Grampa and Grandmums) brought Granddaddy and Louise up for lunch. Suzy made an amazing lunch-- brisket, green bean casserole, layered salad, twice baked potatoes, and lemon cake. It was so tasty. It was so special for Sally to get to meet Granddaddy. Sally is named after Ted's grandmother, Grandmums.

It was also so fun for Van and Suzy to get to come up for the afternoon. OKC is so close. Now, if only we could move Dallas a little closer...

New Favorite Shirt

Our good friend, Ilena, gave this onesie to Sally. It looks so cute on her! I'm learning that bold colors look really good with her coloring. We had a small photo shoot in her Sally Claire outfit! Thanks, Ilena-- we love it!!

1 Month Old!

Sally turned 1 month old yesterday, April 30. She is such a big girl now! She has accomplished a lot in her 4 weeks of life...lived in 2 houses, moved across state lines, slept 5 straight hours at night (ok, that was only once, but we'll take what we can get), and made new friends in Tulsa...she's been a busy girl!

We are so blessed to have this angel in our lives.
I just love these tomato jammies on her!
Enjoying some tummy time. Its fun to see her talk to her toys.
Her "official" one month picture with her lambie. (I'm not sure what they were both looking at!)
