Update on Daddy

We were presented with a change in Daddy's cancer attack plan today. I don't think I can explain it any better than TeeLee, so please visit the "Who's With Wally" link in the right column for the latest update on Daddy.

Our First Roast

My husband says I should be embarrassed to admit this, but I cooked my first roast yesterday! I live with a wonderful cook, so he has always been the one to prepare this fabulous comfort food. However, he was busy installing six (yes, I said SIX) new light fixtures in the house yesterday. I have wanted to get rid of the 1980's-era fixtures, and we finally finished that challenge! Anyway, I took it upon myself to prepare the roast and it was great, if I do say so myself. Edee had some of the leftovers for lunch today and it was her first roast, too. As you can see, she enjoyed every bite and was thoroughly stuffed when it was gone! Elkee supervised and was in charge of clean-up!!

Spring Break and First Dates!

Edee had an ear infection at the beginning of Spring Break, so we laid low for most of the week. She has been such a healthy baby, and when she DOES get sick she manages to do it when I am off of work! I guess she doesn't want me to use up my sick days! :-) I worked on cleaning out some closets and drawers, so I see a garage sale in our near future!

We did manage to get down to Lake Travis for the weekend. My dad and Christy were headed that direction, but we missed them by a day. They were kind enough to let us stay at their house so that we could have a quick getaway! (I think I just made a rhyme!!) While we were in Spicewood, we were able to meet Cooper for the first time. Aunt Katy and Uncle Brad hosted a cookout at their house and we were able to enjoy the sunshine and view of the hill country with Austin's newest residents, Caryn, Pat and Cooper. He is such a handsome little man! I hope we can get those two together this summer for some lake time! Cooper's mom had these pictures on her blog, so I need to give her the photography credits. I have yet to upload my pictures from the weekend. Thank you Caryn!!

How can I choose one?????

PeePaw took pictures of Edee this weekend and they ALL are wonderful!!! I want to print some, but I can't pick from the millions that he took! I had other posts I wanted to do before this one, but these pics are too cute to keep to myself~! HA!! I chose to share these because she has some of the absolute best expressions!!!

They have something in common!

Elkee has become increasingly more interested in Edee. It could be because she has realized that Cheerios fall from the sky ever since Edee started eating solids. It might also have something to do with all of the fun toys that Edee is willing to share. However, I think the REAL reason that she enjoys Edee more is that they finally have something in common...NAPPING!!! They both can sleep just about anywhere! They take after their Mommy!!

Flynn Family Fun Park

We went to visit our friends after Eric finished up his week in Austin. It is always fun just hanging out in the Hill Country! The girls did some shopping while the boys played with stereo equipment. Edee had a great time in her borrowed walker. She loved following Cullen around and he liked getting some kisses! Thanks for a fun weekend, Uncle Brad, Aunt Katy and sweet Cullen!!

What a Week!!!

The pictures are in reverse order, but here is the recap of our week:

Eric had to go to Austin this week for a conference, so NeeNaw and PeePaw came to keep us all company. Edee stayed home each morning, but we had a very busy week! It started with lunch at Babe's with some family friends, The Rabuns. They gave Edee the precious pink bow that matched her dress!

Edee also spent some time showing everyone how much she loves the new flooring that Daddy installed before he left! She can really zip around in her Jeep!

On Thursday, Edee went to Kindermusik with Mommy and NeeNaw. This was her 3rd week, and she LOVES it! Daddy even took her last week because I had a meeting. Edee had a special surprise this week because her friend from school, Clara, started Kindermusik, too! They were so precious together!

We finished the week with a trip to Aunt Katy and Uncle Brad's. (no pictures of that, just yet) I met Eric there and we had fun just hanging out with our friends. I know he was happy to be home today! He broke all land speed records on the way home, and we even have the ticket to prove it! HA!
