Bathtime Buddies

It's official....Colt is not our precious little baby anymore. He is jabbering, scooting, hitting, sitting (kinda), and playing! I still can't believe how fast it is going by. Here are some pics of Carter and Colt in the tub together for the first time. Carter loves to help give Colt a bath. I wonder how long that will last? :)

Natalie's Masterpiece

Natalie's Masterpiece

This past Sunday was promotion Sunday at our church. I decided to move the kindergarten department out of the preschool department and into the children's area. The only problem was they did not have a room. Of course, I had to redecorate a room just for them! I wanted to do something extra special, but I have ZERO artistic ability. I envisioned an ocean room with lots of fish and sea creatures. I took the idea to my sister and this is what she created. It is ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL! The kids LOVED IT! I think I should move my office to this room...it is so peaceful. I cannot believe how talented Natalie is. Needless to say, everyone who walks into the room is stunned. Thank you so much Natalie for your hours of hard work. Carter will get to use this room in two years! :)

GO TIGERS!

Well, after much prayer and lots of discussion, Eric decided that he really wanted to get back into teaching and coaching. Since graduation, he has been working at Star Graphics. Eric has taken a job teaching at Silsbee Middle School! He will be teaching 7th grade Texas History. He is so excited. School officially starts on Aug. 25. So, he (we) have lots to do in the next week and a half. He will be helping with middle school and high school football. GO TIGERS!

Home Sweet Home

WE'RE ALL MOVED IN!

Well, after a hectic week and a half, we are happy to say that we are all moved in to our new home! We couldn't be happier. We are so blessed to finally have our family in a safe neighborhood! Our new home is so much bigger than our old one. We have an upstairs that we aren't even using yet. Carter was supposed to sleep upstairs, but he likes to sleep in Colt's room because "Baby Colt will keep me safe!" But, when he is ready, Carter will have his very own room upstairs. He does like to go play up there now. We went on a walk through our new neighborhood last week and took Carter to get a snocone. Now he wants to go for a walk everyday...I wonder why? :) Our favorite things about our new home are: the old glass doorknobs; the built-ins in the dinning room and living room; the mail slot; the old phone built-in; the original black & white tile in the bathroom; the side-by-side fridge; and most of all THE QUIETNESS! We haven't done a single thing to our new home...but we can't wait to get started. If Eric knew how large his honey-do list would get, he probably wouldn't have let us move! We are so excited. Thanks to everyone who helped us move: Doree's parents, Eric's parents, Bryan Thomas, & Jim & Darlene Johnson. We are so blessed to have such wonderful family & friends! We love you all so much.

SO HAPPY!

I took some time off this week to finish moving things in our new home. Colt has had lots of "tummy time" while I've been working around the house. He is so close to crawling. I can't believe how fast it is going by with our second one. We love our boys so much!
