First Day of School

August 27, 2012...Sally's first day at Liberty Christian....she's officially a Wee Warrior.




Her teacher is Mrs. Cothes. She's in the same class as a couple of my classmates...makes me feel old! So thankful she'll get to go through school with Caleb and Sophie. She is also in the same class as some of her soccer buddies, Rhyan and Kennedy. It looks like its going to be a great year. She LOVES school!

Grant 7 Month

Our sweet little man is 7 months old!
He's on the move...uh-oh!!!

He has a love-hate relationship with the vacuum....loves it when its off and he can explore it...hates it when its on!

Galveston 2012

Words cannot describe what a fabulous trip we had! We went to Galveston for the second year in a row....however, this time our sweet, sweet friends, the Johnsons, came with us. Every minute of the trip was perfect! Our kiddos did great together, of course, the boys enjoyed their time, and I was quickly reminded of how much I enjoy spending days with Taylor! It brought back such great memories of our camp days together!
We started the trip in Bryan on the 4th of July. We stayed at the LaSalle hotel in downtown Bryan. We ate at La Bodega that evening and even fit in a fireworks visit with the Story family. It was great to catch up with Kim in person (we get to talk on the phone-- but it is so much better when we're not 300 miles away from each other!), and the kids loved watching fireworks together!
Our beach house was AMAZING!!! We could have stayed forever!!
Family pictures that I will treasure forever!






I am so thankful for our precious friends.

GED: 6 Months Old


6 Months...Wow...what a whirlwind! Grant continues to be the most laid back, sweet boy ever! He is an eater- its hard to find enough food to feed him everyday! He's not so much of a sleeper- he naps just ok, and he does not quite sleep though the night yet. He needs to check in with his mommy in the middle of the night...or maybe a couple of times! :) Its a work in progress. He enjoyed his first major trip to the beach this month. He doesn't love the car, but he is pretty agreeable as long as I'm in the back feeding him puffs! He's almost sitting up unsupported. Thankfully, he's not crawling yet! I count every moment with this precious boy a complete blessing!

Grant's Baptism

Grant was baptized on June 30 in Oklahoma City. We were blessed to be able to do it at All Souls' Episcopal Church. It was special because this is Ted's home church. We were even more blessed because PJ and Ashley agreed to be Grant's godparents. I am so thankful for such a special time for our sweet boy. It was a great family weekend filled with good friends, a yummy lunch at the Downing's after the baptism, and friends that will always feel more like family than friends!
Madelyn and Grant were quite interested in each other...He thinks she's cute....He's right!

Soccer


Sally is a Tiger! This is her first year to play soccer. She plays with some other girls from Liberty. So far her favorite thing to do is cheer on the sidelines. I feel like she comes by that pretty honestly! 
Grant loves watching his sister....or sitting in his stroller eating puffs!

Our team encourager...
GO TIGERS!
