Trip to Nashville!

A few weekends back, we returned to Nashville for a short but sweet visit with the college gals. What a fun time it was, and a blessing to catch up with such dear friends. I don't get to see them near enough! Sadly we didn't get one single picture of us together, but got plenty of the kiddos:) We missed you Hannah!! Here is an oldie but goodie...



In other news, we are welcoming fall with open arms. I'm not sure I'm ready for the leaf raking, but am soaking in the cool mornings, extra covers on the bed, soups, and of course football:) We are definitely not die hard around here, but there is something fun about game days with UT flags on every other car, and orange everywhere!

We're baaaaack!

Hey all! Is anyone still out there?! I had all but given up on ever posting again to this fabulous bloggy blog. Thankfully I had my mind changed the other day when Sydney and I went back through each and every post from the beginning. We had the best time looking at all the pics, and watching the videos. Sydney could have watched videos of herself all afternoon. So we are back (for now anyway)! I am going to try to do better so Joel can join in the picture viewing fun one day.
Too much to catch up on, so I'll just start with the here and now. Syd will be starting preschool next week, which I think she is excited about and Joel is going on 7 months old:) Sydney loves being a big sis. She will stop doing just about anything for a chance to hold him. It's crazy too how much Joel looks like Syd at that age. Joel has officially starting sucking the 2 middle fingers on his left hand (longhorns, which I guess his cousin Lyd taught him). Honestly I am thankful he has something to soothe himself...he is an easy baby full of smiles and laughs!
My cup runneth over!







Can you tell who is who? Syd on top and Joel on bottom...crazy huh?! More examples to come!




My little goggle girl..she loves going under! Thank you Y swim lessons! This is her practicing in the bath.
