Maddy is getting bigger, faster, and smarter before our eyes. Yesterday she rediscovered her Easter basket and has started "shopping" around the apartment. She picked up my contact case, a necklace, some pens, and one of Daddy's socks. (Someone, who shall remain nameless, leaves their socks on the floor a lot so Maddy has a tendency of picking them up and playing with them.)



She is also trying her best to run. She will take a few quick steps and then will stumble and fall. We had a scary fall yesterday in the bathtub. I tear up just writing about it, but Maddy stood up in the bathtub to get out and hit the side of the tub. I swooped her up quickly and heard an awful cry with intermittent sniffles to catch her breath as she finally settled down about 30 minutes later. We are all well tonight and just catching up on life.

Celebrations

We celebrated our birthday and anniversary two weeks ago. Logan planned a fabulous weekend at La Mansion del Rio on the Riverwalk. We had lots of yummy food and then he took me shopping the next day!







On my actual birthday Logan made me a chocolate cake! It was an excellent week of celebrations!

Working it

Well, working life has changed a lot lately. I was working here, but then started working here...and now I'm working here. The long story short is that when my internship ended in June, I accepted a job, but now I am working for a school again so I can spend more time with my family.

That's the short of it so if you want more info...I'm sure I'll see you soon enough to tell.

P.S. I have my own office and name plate on the door. In need of some business cards!

Lifestyles of the somewhat rich and famous

We know we are not rich by any means (our wealth is in Him, of course) and famous would be a stretch for any description of our family. But lately....

Maddy has been accessorizing like she is going to a gala at least every day for the past week. She found my baubly beeds a while ago and I finally just let her pull them out and continue to play with them since I never wear them anymore. (Sigh, I want some new accessories!)



The rich a famous also get to jet off to the beach at a moments notice and talk to rock stars..just like we did last night!





We decided around 3:00 pm to head to Corpus Christi to see some camp friends and watch Paul Eason (camp friend now country singer (not rock star, but close)). I didn't get any pictures of Paul, but he stopped by our table for a bit and Maddy flirted with him, of course. Maddy enjoyed all the attention from the girls and even got to see the water. We made plans to go back in September to actually enjoy the beach and not just take a picture from the pier. We made it back home around 1:00 am. It was a fun night.



So if good friends are part of the lifestyle, I'll take it.

A very special uncle!

Happy Birthday Uncle Andy!

We love you Uncle Andy and want you to know how great we think you are. You are super smart, have funny pets, like to tell stories, talk in silly voices, and make me laugh. You are a great brother, son, grandson, great-grandson, husband, friend, and a VERY special uncle.










Hope you have a VERY special day today! We love you THIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIS MUCH!

Little gym and little steps

We've been busy this weekend! It started with the Little Gym. I was so excited to find this place. We went to our first class and loved it! Maddy was very independent and wanted to explore everything in the gym...as you can see. She loved "climbing wall" and the bars. She made friends with a few other little kiddos and she can't wait to see them next Saturday!






Then we went swimming at a friend's pool since ours was locked for cleaning. Logan thought this shirt was the perfect cover up for Maddy. GOOOOOO FROGS!



Last, but not least we finally got some "good" shots of Maddy walking. We have more, but the camera is the easiest, fastest way to load them on the blog...so here is what we have right now! She is still "toddling" (of course), but is very busy!



She is in bed now and I might be soon too! Good night!
