Let The Countdown Begin

There's only 11 days left --5 more days of work --1 more weekend.

Silas Levi will be here in a week and a half, maybe sooner.

At my most recent visit to the doctor, he checked me and I've made zero --absolutely no --progress. So, the 26th will most likely be the day.

Wordless Wednesday

Cool Dude & Patches

Meet Cool Dude and Patches. They are the newest additions to our family.


In honor of Silas' upcoming arrival, we took Micah to Build-A-Bear to make Little Brother a welcome-to-the-family gift. And, well, we couldn't make one for Silas and not let Micah make one for himself too.
Micah paid very close attention to the stuffing lady. He added the heart and pressed the pedal that controlled the stuffing machine to fill Cool Dude, Micah's name for Little Brother's first teddy bear.

Patches was up next.

Daddy helped give them both a bath and pick out the clothes. Please note that Patches' outfit in the first photo above is a fishing outfit....figures.

Bring On Fall

My door is decorated and I'm hoping the rain storms coming across Texas make their way over our house and bring a little cool weather too.


I have to send out a HUGE "thank you" to the husband for helping me plant the daffodil bulbs, put fresh mulch down in all of the flower beds and buying these gigantic mums today!

Happy Fall Y'all!

Micah's Fall Portraits

I just thought I should mention that if you are interested in a great deal on portraits, Groupon has great deals on JCPenney Portrait Studio sessions. If you're familiar with Groupon, you know that they are great deals based on geographic locations. The JCPenney Portrait Groupons are even more fantastic because regardless of the city that is offering the deal, the coupons are good nation wide.

Micah at Play

In the previous post, I left out a few photos from the Rock the Doc race day of Micah before the race on the playground and during the race down by the lake.

Enjoy.

Any suggestions on how to get a 3-year-old to look at the camera would be appreciated. I've tried everything! All I get these days are profiles and rear ends.

Rock the Doc 5K Race

September 24th.

Another early Saturday morning.

Tom ran his first 5K race.

Ready. Set. Go!

Micah cheered his DaDa on.

Yay! He finished 10 minutes faster than he anticipated!

Tom finished 6th place in his age group, but he wished he'd been 6 months older so he would have finished 2nd place in the 30-39 age group.
