Two months!!!

Our little munchkin is doing so good! He's growing so big and so fast right before our eyes! He'll be 2 months old Monday October 22nd, right around the corner, and he's already pushing out of his 3 month size clothes!! This is the first time he's worn this outfit and I was shocked to see that there wasn't much room in it. We're excited to see how much he weighs on Monday at his check-up!

Fly Lady


For those of you who may be a little overwhelmed with all your responsibilites...check out a fun website flylady.net! She gives you tons of advice on decluttering, checklists, and tips on keeping order to your life. Every week/month there are items that she reminds you to take care of ie: focusing on guest bedroom and bathroom (cleaning it from top to bottom), or simply today just scrub your bathtub really good. Also, she has rules like work for only 15 minutes and see how much you can accomplish! I like that one...it really works! We all can find 15 mins during our day to just do one job! She makes cleaning/organizing fun (if that's really possible) and less overwhelming!! SCRUB-A-DUB-DUB!!!

ZZZZZZ

I feel like shouting off every roof top, "Hooray!" I know I really can't complain because Connor has been such a great sleeper compared to most babies, but last night was our first whole nights sleep!!! I put him to bed at 10:45pm and low and behold no wake up feedings until 6am!!! That's over 7 hours! I think I was the one to blame for him waking up then because I was so shocked I had to go in and put my hand over his nose to make sure he was breathing. Ten minutes later he was up, so tomorrow morning I'll have to be a little more sneaky. That's it...just wonderful news for a tired mom! I couldn't exactly shout from my rooftop, so this was the next best thing!

Anadarko


This last week Mac was invited for a second interview down to Houston with an oil company called Anadarko. Of course Connor and I were curious as well, so we got to tag along. Anadarko is located just north of Houston in an area called the Woodlands....gorgeous!! We always have said we'd never move to Houston, but I think we're open to it now. Less traffic, huge trees, beautiful water running through it, kind of like the River Walk in San Antonio, and shops galore!! Who knows where we'll end up, but we like the possibilities!!

Blessing Weekend-September 28-30th!

Two weeks ago we were able to have Mac's whole family, my parents, and Aunt Phyllis and Uncle Tom all here for Connor's baby blessing! The weekend went by so fast, but we managed to hit up Rudy's (good 'ol Texan Bar-B-Q!), the bat show in downtown Austin, and a few city sights like the capital building. And of course...they all made it to the most important event...Connor's blessing. It was so special to see both Grandpas in the circle along with an uncle and one great uncle. It really meant so much to Mac and I to have our family make it down for such a special time for us! Thank you!!!
