Week in Review...

Yes, it has been over a week since I've posted to the blog! So sue me...

Last Friday, Kevin and I attended an Aeros hockey game with some of his co-workers. I have never been to a hockey game and wasn't sure how I was going to feel about it. Surprisingly, I really enjoyed it! I wish the break in between quarters wasn't so long (short attention span and all), but otherwise it was an entertaining fast-paced game.

Houston Aeros vs. San Antonio Rampage (and yes, we did win!)

This past weekend we didn't do a whole lot...don't you love weekends like that?! I did clean up the house and if it could talk, it would thank me!

Hmmm....I know that isn't much...but hey, it was a boring week! At least you got pictures :)

Houston Dog Blog!

Miss Annie has made the big time :) Houston Dog Blog did an interview with Canine Health Institute and it has now been posted to their website. The star??? Miss Annie!

I am so proud of her and the progress she has made! She will officially finish with rehab sessions next month :) I knew this time would come...I thought I would be thrilled and while I am because of her progress (and of course the savings to come!), I am also realizing this is closing a chapter of our lives. We have grown to love the specialists there and count them as our second family ~ we would not be where we are today without their help and are forever indebted to them for what they have done for our angel!

I love you Miss Annie and you are a true witness to what God can do!

Happy Birthday Baby!

We made it! You are officially 12 weeks old!!! What on Earth??? I cannot believe that you are already 12 weeks old and that I am ALMOST to the second trimester (since the first trimester is really 13 weeks long). Seriously I had no idea about this until you came along, but hey...what's one more week :)

Mommy and Daddy love you sweet angel! Keep growing and stay healthy!

Ahhhhhhhh...

IT'S COOL OUTSIDE!!! Obviously, we can't go as far as need a jacket, sit by the fire kind of cool, but hey, it's Texas! I will take what I can get!!!

I love you...

Hi Baby...it has been so long since I have written to you the words of my heart...

It is so amazing to me the amount of love that continues to grow within me. I would give my life for you without a seconds hesitation. The Lord has blessed me with your life and it a true joy to be your mother. It is hard to believe you are almost 12 weeks old...and I thought this whole pregnancy thing would take FOREVER! I have started to picture you as you grow older in there. I wonder about what you look like now, what you will look like tomorrow, next month, and on and on.

There are simply no words to explain to you how wonderful you are. Please know I am always here for you. I pray for you, for your happiness, for your dreams...

I love you sweet baby.

Always and Forever,
Mommy

My Current Favorite...

A Month!!!!!!!!!!

WOW, has it seriously been almost a FULL MONTH since I updated the blog??? I can't believe how quickly time has passed!!! Of course, it is busy season + quarter close... I suppose I will use that as my excuse for being absent for so long. Thankfully, October 15th is ALMOST here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Overall life has been good for us these past few weeks. Kevin and I took a couple of days vacation and visited Dad and Gail in Panama City Beach, Florida. Our flights were miserable, delayed, and miserable (did I mention that already?)! I officially spent my first full night in an airport...I will pass on EVER doing that again. Even knowing all of that, I wouldn't have traded a minute of our visit, though I would have DEFINITELY NOT chosen Atlanta as our connecting airport!

We had a wonderful time visiting ~ we are so blessed to have such a loving family! Our visits with them are always relaxing and fun, and to be in such a beautiful place was just an added benefit. Want to know something just amazing ~ the water is BLUE and the sand is WHITE! No offense Galveston, but...oh for our water to be so blue... We ate wonderful seafood, searched for and found sanddollars, rented a pontoon boat on Sunday to go to Shell Island, and here comes the best part...WE SAW DOLPHINS!!!!!!!!!!!! Yes, I do have an obsession but I just think they are some of the most beautiful and wonderful animals the Lord ever made!

I've posted a few pictures below for your enjoyment :)

Other than that, we haven't been up to much...just work...how exciting, right?! I promise to right more often now that the end of state tax returns is in sight! Hope you all have a wonderful day!
