Memorial Day

Jannie is in town!

2 months

Baby George is 2 months old!  At his appointment he was:

Weight: 14lbs 12 oz - 99%
Height: 23.5 in  - 75%
Head: 16.2 - 90%

Perry at 2 months was:

Weight: 12lbs 10 oz - 95%
Height: 24.5 in - 95%
Head: 90%

He is such a good baby - the prevacid worked wonders for him.  He is sleeping a 6-7 stretch at night, feed him at 8 and he sleeps until 3 or 4 and then feed him and he goes back down until 7.  I try to wake him up for a later feeding but he just won't wake up.  Oh well, can't complain.  I am still only nursing him but we will see how it goes when I go back to work.

May 14th

I have been dreading this day for a while, really dreading it the past few weeks b/c I knew it was right around the corner and it was sneaking up on me. I go back to work tomorrow, May 14th. I have been pretending to be a stay at home mom since George was born, and we have been having so much fun. I would get perry from school early every day and some days just keep her home with us. We have had so much fun and we have made so many memories. Memories that I will not forget. The only thing that makes tomorrow a little easier is that my mom and sister will be keeping my kids. Whew. I am so very very lucky to have them close and to have them help us. So so lucky. I recently went back and read my blog when I went back to work after perry was born. Granted she was 9 months old so this is very different, but I was so happy that I documented that moment. So glad I wrote down how I felt at the time. Tomorrow will be different, it will be hard, I have a hard job, but one that I am so very thankful for. My friend Kelly just wrote about an experience saying how great it is to be put into a situation every now and then where you are out of your element and feel uncomfortable. How those times make you a better and stronger person. Last Saturday at dinner I told Taylor about this and how this is how I feel every day with my job. I get thrown into the fire every day, but it makes me a better person, it makes me thankful for the rewards, it keeps me humble and thankful for my job.
PS in case I forgot to mention this, Taylor is currently in Philly for a 3 week training. Yep. Single mom. With a newborn. And a very demanding 3 year old. Heading back to my stressful full time job. :) piece of cake. Especially when I get to come home to this.

Weekend in Dallas

We went to Dallas last weekend for a quick trip to see Taylor's family. Perry had a big time with her cousins! The trip down was a little rough and when we got there at 10:30 pm on Thursday night after 6 hours in the car, perry had a really high fever. We ended up at urgent care on Friday So that kind of through a wrench in the fun. But she was a trooper and had a good time anyway. She just had another ear infection so she wasn't contagious :)

We got to see the Ellis family for dinner on Saturday night.

Taylor and I were so over Dallas when we left! Ha! It's so funny how things change. We missed Dallas so much when we moved, but it's just not the same anymore. Don't get me wrong, I spent a huge chunk of my adult life there and it's still a great city that I love. We just love to visit now :)

Easter Bunny Pictures

The pictures from breakfast with the bunny came in the mail the other day. George was just a few weeks old and looks like a little bird. :)

Sip & See for Baby George

We had a Sip & See for Baby George a few weeks ago and it was so much fun. George was really good (for the most part) :)  We had mexican food and ritas and the weather was perfect.  Thanks girls for such a great night!  I put my camera up before everyone got there so I don't have very many pics unfortunately.

A few pics of Perry - she thought we were going to a birthday party and was singing Happy Birthday to everyone.  

Someone could NOT wait to get into the cake - she guarded it the entire time!
