These days

These days we are:

Praising God for renewed health in our children

Having fun in the HOT Texas sun!

*Colton loves playing in his pool in our backyard with his daddy...I love the way his face is lit up in every picture we took!*

Enjoying peaceful bathtimes with our newborn

*Sweet Sadie loves bathtime - her eyes get so big everytime we pour water over her*

Having SO MUCH FUN when cousins are in town!

Colton and Hannah are only 17 months apart and they absolutely loved playing together. Hannah kept asking to hold baby Sadie and loved telling me, "Jenny, baby Sadie is soooooooo cute"

Without a doubt, Colton's favorite toy of the summer is the water hose...nobody is safe when he is armed. He's sprayed Sadie twice!

We also had a special visit from my cousin Amy, a college student at UT. She came to meet Sadie and spend time with our family...fun times!

Guiding Colton to be a great big brother

In this picture Colton is showing me how much he loves Sadie - "this much". He's really very sweet with her and always wants to know where she is. He loves to wake her up when she is sleeping, something we're trying to change!

Excited when daddy gets home from work

Oh the relief I feel when daddy walks in the door! :) I start calling around 4:00 asking him when he's getting in his truck to head home.

Getting decent sleep since our sweetheart is sleeping 8 hours between night feedings!

Sadie girl is round and adorable...she gets her full share to eat during the day and thankfully likes to sleep a lot at night. Her brother did this too until he started teething at 3 1/2 months...hoping she'll stay the course!

Taking more trips to the zoo

Laughing at Colton's curly hair and his silly bye-bye trips (in which he grabs a bag and runs around the house)

Playing with friends as often as we can

Colton asks for "Mi" all the time...he loves getting to play with sweet Mia

Loving time with our sweet girl - and admiring her silly faces
