Lately...

It's been busy around here as of late, but I wanted to share the last few weeks in pictures...

A few 9 month photos

J.R. had a birthday...

I had a birthday...

And most importantly, we now have a crawler!
He started crawling a week and a half before he hit the 10 month mark!

More to come...

We had a lovely holiday weekend, but I am still editing photos for that so I thought I'd post some cell phone pictures from our impromptu trip to Galveston the day after Easter. J.R.'s best friend, Jayson, and his son, Caiden, joined us for Easter this year, and we thought it'd be nice for him to go on the dolphin tour that we discovered a little over a year ago (while Reid was still growing inside my tummy). We spotted more dolphins this trip, and had a lot of fun riding on a boat with a very excited infant and seven year old.

And just in case it isn't evident in the pictures how hyper Reid was on the boat:

St. Patty's Day Recap

Don't worry, I am not going to start this post off with another promise to keep it updated more regularly. These past six months are a true testament to the fact that "life happens." I had hoped to keep it more current after Reid's birth, but that has not been as easy with the afore mentioned losses we experienced at the end of last year, the constant traveling (can you believe in his eight short months of life Reid has made seven plane trips? seven!!), and researching long-term care for a parent with early onset Alzheimer's disease.

These past six months have also reinforced the fact that taking a little time out to relax and enjoy a holiday (say St. Patty's day for instance) isn't such a bad thing;). Here are a few pictures of Reid celebrating his first official day of green:

The tongue permanently resides outside of his mouth these days. Pretty sure it's genetic.

Would you like some pictures from the last few weeks? Yeah, I thought so...

I cannot believe that the Texas bluebonnets are already out in full force in our area. We stumbled upon this lovely patch at sunset last Friday and were able to snap a few pictures. The next night we visited the patch again (this time with Reid's Easter attire), and were able to get some great shots. I will post those very soon. Of course no promises, just very soon:)!

Happy Vday Week!

Here are a few pics from our Valentines Day photo shoot:

And here's a quick (not always in focus) video of what I consider pure joy to watch:

Hello neglected blog, remember me?

I have not forgotten our faithful blog readers, although it may appear so. It turns out caring for an infant monopolizes more our your time than you realize:). Add the holidays and the losses we are still dealing with from 2012, and to the back-burner our little blog goes. However, I hope that you precious few readers will bare with us, as I intend to finally hammer out a good layout for this thing and get it up and running on a weekly basis again. In the meantime, here are some "lately" pictures to tide you over...
