The girls and I had a girls weekend in Dallas/Ft. Worth last weekend.  We had a wonderful lunch at Blue Mesa with Mama Jane.  Notice, Mama Jane is holding her great-great granddaughter… (Jada Reese’s baby doll!).

We met Major, Emily and Ben’s new puppy.  Jada Reese and Addie finally found a puppy their size!  The girls have on their precious matching outfits from the Garys.

I went to my 10 year High School Reunion.  It was a blast!  Hilary (on the right) has been one of my best friends since 2nd grade!  Rachel (in the blue) is a distant cousin.  And Allie and Courtney are dear friends.  It was a fabulous weekend.  Our babysitter, Ali, came by to hug and kiss Jada Reese.  We got to see the Campbells for a short trip.  James was sick, so we will have to make another trip soon, so Jada and James can have a playdate in the near future!

Addie Kate is 3 months old today!  She is such a doll and such an easy baby.  She loves to laugh and coo at her toys.  She’s starting to try to roll on her back, but it’ll be a couple more weeks until she’s successful!  Addie is in 6 months clothes and quickly approaching 9 month clothes.  She loves to be held, laughs at the dogs (Tiki lays by her often), and talks to her sister.  Jada Reese holds Addie’s hands, puts her pacifier in, gets Addie a diaper and puts Addie’s clothes in the hamper.  She loves to be the mama…I meant big sister!

I had a fabulous birthday week!  We went to Uchiko with Lauren and Hunter for the best sushi in town, enjoyed Dave’s steaks on the grill, went to Lamberts with Gigi and Joel, and had friends and family spoil me all week!  Thank you!  Cheers to turning 3-0…next year.

Happy 50th Birthday Mom- we love you and had a fabulous weekend celebrating with the whole family!

My grandmother, Mama Jane Corbin (dad’s mom) is 3/4 of a century old, but doesn’t look it at all!  She is a wonderful grandmother and loves being a great-grandmother!  We had a wonderful time in Fort Worth celebrating her birthday and introducing the girls to the extended family.

It’s going by so quickly… Addie Kate is 2 months old.  She’s growing, and soon may catch up with her sister!

At her 2 month check up- 23 inches long (75%) and 11 lbs 14 oz (50%) and head circumference 15 and 1/2 inches (75%).

She is smiling and interacting when you talk to her.  Addie holds her head up and scoots on her belly.  She loves her sister and loves to cuddle!  We have another sweet little girl on our hands, and we feel so blessed to have her as our daughter!

What a wonderful weekend!  Our first family of 4 road trip.  It took us almost 3 hours to get out the door early Saturday morning.

We enjoyed our time at the Campbell Family Farm Saturday and Sunday as we got to catch up with our best friends from Chicago.  It took about 5 seconds when we first arrived for James to walk up to Jada and give her a hug.  They had so much fun together this weekend.  We went swimming, played tennis, sat in the rocking chairs, feed the horses, sat on the tractor, rode around the farm and saw the cows, went for a walk… Jada had several firsts this weekend.  She was too scared to ride the horse and wanted down immediately, but she loved feeding them.  Addie went swimming with the rest of us in her cute bikini with her rolls sticking out.  It was such a wonderful experience to get to share it with the girls.

Next weekend, we head to Ft. Worth to visit my grandmother, Mama Jane, for her 75th birthday party.  We are looking forward to introducing the girls to a large part of our extended family.
