Family Pictures

      Family pictures are a must for me every year at this time. We need them for our Christmas cards, and the weather is usually nice. This was the first year we didn't include our dogs, and it was the first year we took them ourselves {thank you tripod and bluetooth on the camera to make my phone the remote}. We took them on November 7, right before Aaron left. We thought they were hard with one kid, but then we added another and getting the perfect shot was hard. I could have kept going, but you can see in the last picture that Connor was over it.  

Lately

    Aaron has been gone for a month and we have missed him so much. Thankfully he comes home later today and we are so excited. We have been keeping pretty busy over here between school and traveling over Thanksgiving break. I haven't posted any blogs lately from our day to day life, so I thought this would be a good one to catch up on. I also don't want to forget any of these moments with my babies because gosh, they grow so fast!

November 8, 2017:

Aaron was packing to leave the next day and Connor was really sad.

G & P Ranch

     The day after Thanksgiving, my mom's side of the family got together at the ranch for a fish fry. The weather was perfect, which is hard to count on for Texas! Connor played with his cousins and practiced shooting with his Pepaw. Livie slept a lot and was passed around and carried by everyone. It was a wonderful day filled with good food, lots of laughter, and quality family time.

Thanksgiving 2017

     We had so much to be thankful for this Thanksgiving. We have two healthy babies, a new house, and we are living back in Texas surrounded by family. I can't tell you the last time I spent Thanksgiving with my family {probably 7 years ago}, so it was so nice to spend a holiday with them. The only thing missing was Aaron. We missed him so much, but he’s going to be home in the next dew days so I am thankful for that!

Olivia: Three Months Old {+ 13 Days}

My Little Livie,

    Happy {late} T H R E E month birthday. You, my love, are such a mamas girl and everyone who has met you has seen it. I absolutely love how much you love me. You love to stare at me and are happy as long as you can see me, and are in my arms. Haha! I am super late writing this because you turned three months on Thanksgiving and we were out of town, and then we came home and our internet has been down for over a week. So here I am at Starbuck's writing your monthly birthday blog because I can’t put it off any longer. I love you so much beautiful girl!

Love,

Your Mama
