We got back from San Antonio and we went with Josh's family to pick out a tree. Elise was excited.

Claire and Elise both had to get their shots this week! Elise calls them "mosquito bites." I was so nervous that it was going to be a disaster, but both girls did great! On another note, I hope Claire's husband doesn't mind pacis and stuffed giraffes! I'm not sure when we are going to be able to break this habit....

I took the girls to Amy's ice cream for a special treat!

I was thrilled to help throw my good friend Erin, a baby shower. My friend, Katherine at Simply Party did all the invites and favor tags! Everything turned out so cute! I can't wait to meet this sweet girl!

Elise was beyond excited to spend the night with Ethan and Parker. They have so much fun together! This time she even learned to shoot a bow and arrow!

We took them to the Festival of Lights in moody gardens. They loved seeing the new ice sculptures and all the lights!

I can't believe Elise was brave enough to go down the ice slide!

I was able to meet my sweet friends, Emily and Cristal. I even got to see sweet, baby Hannah.

The girls were super excited to see Ms. Norma! They love her.

Absolutely loved going to see my sweet friend, Mandy and her new baby girl. I was so sad that she is already 4 months old!! She was still so little though! Mandy came to see me several times when Elise and Claire were newborn babies. I love going to see the newborn babies. It is such a special time!

Julie came over and we ended up staying up way too late! I have such good memories with these girls!! 

This is Elise and I sending a picture to Josh saying, "we miss you, Daddy"

Friends and family

Elise has two best friends from clear lake that she still constantly talks about! Ethan and Parker! Their mom, my good friend, Erin watched Elise while I was working. They became so close! I'm so happy they picked right back up! 

Elise was thrilled to get to sleep with them in their new bunk bed and watch a movie in the movie room!

We also took them to Palm Springs at Moody Gardens. We both have memberships there and they pay for themselves because kids under 4 are free! It's so expensive to just go one time, membership is the way to go!

I worked with some amazing teachers at Robinson! One of the funniest, retired this year! Karen was always getting us to laugh throughout the school day! She is the most animated person I have ever met! We would always have her read books to our students because she could do the voices so well!

We made this for her to remember her times at Robinson! 

I bought it from the etsy seller, sunsetfog. I'm really happy with it! These are all of our inside jokes. 

We finally got to Alecia's house where we get to stay for two weeks! The kids are having so much fun together! Elise and Gregory are going to go to school together too. I don't know who is more excited, them or us!

We celebrated Larkin's first birthday and went to a Fourth of July parade where we were actually in it!

Too cute to not post!

Claire helped helped herself to the cake!

We ate at our favorite Mexican restaurant, La Fogata. They have awesome margaritas!

We've been spending time at the pool! Elise and Gregory are becoming quite good! They have been loving it!
