Belly check

A few picks of the belly ...





Catching up & the big reveal





With a crazy summer behind us, it's time to catch up a bit!

The big news this weekend is that I finally decided it was time to find out if I should plan for pink or blue in the new nursery. Sam has been toying with me since he found out a month ago & I was honestly convinced we were having a boy. We received the first offer on our house Friday night & continuing that high, Sam prepared a fun surprise for me. He handed over the bag-o-answers on Saturday morning & Ryder helped me open it.

#1 - the bag was blue
#2 - there was no indication of anything feminine
#3 - my husband is apparently a sneaky wrapping master!

When I opened the wrapped gift, I found a blue shirt, folded in half. I looked at Ryder & exclaimed - we have blue! But as I started opening the shirt to see what it said, I found a little surprise & Sam laughed and said, "No, we have pink!" Inside the shirt for Ryder, I found a little pink shirt!

Let the shopping begin!

Catching up on the summer ...

Ryder turned 1 on Sept 8 & we had a small family gathering at the house. We are so very blessed to have such wonderful family & enjoyed having everyone over for the afternoon. Ryder LOVED all the activity & having so many people to play with. He also got some wonderful gifts that he is thoroughly enjoying!


















After we listed our house in Sept, we headed to Austin to visit Sam's sister & our wonderful nephews. We all headed to a new zoo outside of Bastrop for the boys to enjoy some up front encounters with many different types of animals. Highlights included a zebra, bats & a white tiger.
