They're Back

So we've lived here about 3 years now and I should know better than to go to the grocery store the Sunday before school starts, but against my best judgment I went anyway. I will never make that mistake again. I did go with the expectation that things would be crazy so that helped. And I normally don't like to take kids shopping with me but this time Evelyn helped me score the "Parent with child" parking spot. HEB was swarming with people. I felt like I had to wait in line just to get some milk. Not only did you have to navigate through packed aisles, but you also had to work your way around the workers who were re-stocking the shelves. It wasn't even the end of the day and they were already running out of things. Many of you know all this and stayed away from the stores this weekend...in the future I will too.



More pics to come of the kids soon.

My Wife is Awesome

Dear Friends,

Aren't the pictures that Stacy takes great!?! My children are fed and clothed; our house is pleasure to come home to, and I eat like a king when she cooks. Among the many other incredible things my wife is and does let me just say...my wife is awesome.

Gabe

August

So not a lot going on since our trip. We recently celebrated 4 years of marriage, rearranged the furniture in our living room, and I sprained my wrist shoveling dirt in our flower bed. Gabe spends time in the evenings working on his papers. Maeve is starting to surprise us with sleeping through the night. It's not all night or even every night but I'll take it when it comes. Evelyn is surprising us daily with her 2-3 word sentences. I can't believe she will be 2 in a month. I'm feeling better about life with 2 kids. It's amazing how a good night's sleep changes your outlook on the day.

Getting pics of the girls has not been easy but I've taken a few recently.

Enjoy.

Maeve thinking about smiling

Not much of a smile but the only one I've been able to capture.
She is not smiling a whole lot yet.

Wide awake

Head shot

"This bow is doing nothing for me. I demand it to be removed!"


"I'll tolerate the flower but I'm not smiling."

I do feed her food.
