Thanksgiving in Pictures

We started the week of Thanksgiving off at Bibi and PopPops's house. My brother and his girlfriend came to visit and meet James. 

They, of course, came with gifts for the littles. Jo got this adorable tutu that she absolutely loves to dance around in!

Jo's favorite thing now is to color and her favorite person to color with? Mere!

We took a day to go shopping at Ikea for Christmas presents. The babies both did great and we were in and out of there, which is saying something for shopping at Ikea. I think I could get lost there. This is what happened on the way home. 

This is how we spent Thanksgiving morning. I am so thankful for these two little blessing and the mess they bring!

We shared Thanksgiving dinner with the hubs's family at his grandmother's house. All six great-grands were there, five girls and this dapper dude!

I love my little ones! Jo's a mess and this is the best picture out of many that we were able to get.

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving, with so much to be thankful for. This time last year, we had just lost our little one and James wasn't even a thought. We were raw with the loss and enjoying the season was very difficult for me. This year was very different. I miss my angel very much, but I also have my rainbow in my hands. I am so blessed by what God has given me.

Can We Go Back?

We spent the past week at the beach. Though I do enjoy being home, I am ready to go back. Here is a sneak peak at what we were up to.

Wandering around the huge oaks and Spanish moss.

The open fields were a dream come true for this little girl. She just loved to run and play.

She's not a ham or anything...

This may be my favorite picture of my little Bug.

No babies were harmed in the taking of this picture...

Silent Sunday

Happy Easter friends!

I'm so thankful for this smiley Bug! She's such a joy to get to spend every day with and I love watching her grow and develop her own personality. I'm so curious and excited to see her become a big sister! I know she's going to be amazing, but for now I'm soaking up as much time one-on-one with my girl that I can!

My Week In Pictures

This past week we had to make an emergency trip to Texas for the hubs's grandfather's funeral. It was a "quick" trip. "Quick" meaning we left Tuesday night at 8:30pm and drove the 14 hours through the night. It was rough. Driving through the night is always rough. It was only compounded by having to be at the church at 11:30. So we got to his aunt's house at 9:00am, the hubs took a little nap while I got Bug ready. Then it was off to the church to be with the family for the rest of the day. Finally, we got back to his aunt's house and crashed. All three of us. We woke up the next morning and prepared for the long drive back. This time though, we planned to drive through the day. So we left her house at around noon and started the drive back. We made multiple - fun - stops along the way.

Bug was Miss Fuss-butt and the only way I got any packing done was to wear her. Man, I love my Ergo!

Finally getting to the hubs's aunt's house, she was so happy to be out of the car and running around!

Keeping the Bug occupied at the church.

I love Texas sunsets.

We stopped in West Monroe, Louisiana to visit the beards of Duck Dynasty. No beard sitings, but we had fun walking at the store. We even got Bug a "happy happy happy" onesie. 

We stopped at the Mississippi River and walked around.

I love wearing my girl!

Such a beautiful sunset over the Mississippi river. I loved getting to share this with my girl.

Sweet moments that I will cherish forever.
