    Of course I don't mind the girls coming! I'd be mad if you didn't bring them. We'll start around 9:30 or 10, whenever people want to arrive.

Almost 7 months!

Where has the time gone? The girls have grown up so fast, it's really unbelievable. We're all doing well. They are both sitting up now & Taylor is trying to crawl... she pretty much knows the movements, but lacks the endurance... shouldn't be long now. Aeva doesn't really like to be on her belly for long periods of time, especially since she learned how to roll over on to her back, but she LOVES to stand up. It's crazy how they are both two totally different little girls.

Anyway, I'm enjoying it for the most part. I can't say that I love the screaming and sometimes the constant need for attention, especially with two. Sometimes it's overwhelming, but then another day comes & they are smiling and giggling. My house is definitely a mess though.

I'd like to ask for your prayers for my cousin who has had a lot of trouble mentally, and finally found out he has lyme disease, and for my mom's dad who I went to see recently- His kidneys are functioning only at 15% and is in need of dialysis. Also pray that Alton might find work soon - he has a phone interview tomorrow, so hopefully that goes as God would have it to.
  • littlebitcab
    Praying for you and your family always. Good luck to Alton. Griff has an important interview tomorrow too. I totally agree w your second paragraph! Hug the girls for me and Emma!

  • tjmeadows
    The girls are growing up too fast! I am sorry to hear about your cousin and granddad.
    We hope Alton finds work soon. Scott has had a long, dry spell with no work. He should find out Friday if he has a job. This economy is rough. We love you four very much.

    Alton needs to roll on the foam to loosen him up before his inverview. :). Tell him good luck! We'll be praying. The girls are beautiful, I love them. Wish we lived closer...

    I'll keep your family in my prayers! I'll pray especially for Alton. Give your sweet little girls a hug from their Aunt Molly! :D

Anniversary & Babies Room

Alton & I went to celebrate our anniversary at a nice B&B in San Antonio after he got back from Germany. It was real nice. We also ate dinner at some Italian joint- pretty fancy stuff... of course we ate PIZZA :) I also got to eat smores and fix them myself at the table (actually Alton roasted & I ate). We had a REALLY beautiful breakfast the next morning. I think it was a baked ham,egg, & cheese souffle, a baked grapefruit with brown sugar, some sort of potato hash brown thing, & of course a chocolate souffle for dessert. I know! Dessert for breakfast?! Needless to say I ate it all.

I'm also posting some pics of the babies room. The first ones are with just the paint... Thank you mom for your hard work! And just recently I cut out some fabric leaves to put on the tree... so much fun! ENJOY!
