Mother/Daughter Fashion Show

Finding out our third baby is a boy has been a wonderful blessing. He will be so close in age to Jack that we are hoping they will be the best of buddies.. or at least not drive each other crazy since they will eventually be sharing a room.

With that said, I have found myself wanting to do more girlie things with Katie. So I signed us up as participants in the Latte Tots Mother/Daughter Fashion show. We had to go and pick out our outfits (slightly challenging for me in my current state) and we both loved what we bought. We were treated to hair and make up by a local salon and the whole thing took place at the Houstonian Golf Club in Richmond. It was a really fun event. All the girls & moms looked great and Katie was pleased to see friends from our play group as well as from school.

We hope to do it again next year and I hope that finding something to wear wont be such a challenge for me!

Exhaustion!!!

I have reached the point in this pregnancy (almost 28 weeks) where I am not sleeping well and daily tasks are beginning to become a real chore. I found myself today, on several occasions as we were running around town, just taking an extra few minutes before we hauled ourselves out of the car or just after we have all been buckled in to just sit and close my eyes (much to the dismay of the person wanting my perfect parking spot outside Cafe Express this afternoon). I find these little moments to be very refreshing especially if the kids are actually quiet!

I am very happy to report that Jack's nightly disturbances, to put it very politely, are becoming less and less and now it is just my aching body and active bladder disturbing our sleep.

I said I would not wish this pregnancy away as it is definitely my last and I am not going to do that, I will however just have to keep taking my five minute rests and hope that will continue to get me through the day!

Getaway Weekend

We all went our separate ways this past weekend to enjoy different parts of what Texas has to offer. Katie fled for Dallas with Grandma and Granddad and enjoyed a fun filled weekend touring the Big D and Forth Worth with Meme & Papaw. It was a long drive, but worth it to see the cattle drive through Ft. Worth and the butterflies at the Dallas Arboretum.

Andy and I headed for the hill country and the Hyatt Lost Pines resort. We were very grateful for Nana who met us there and collected Jack for the weekend. He was entertained and pampered by Stormy, Adam, Dale, Mamaw & David (not forgetting all the four legged friends as well)...

The Hyatt was a great get away. There was no agenda, so set meal times, no set bath times and we could sleep in as late as we wanted! The only problem was that the place was so family oriented we felt guilty at every turn that we did not have the kids there to enjoy all the amenities, so we might have to plan a family trip back later in the year!
