Our little girl is 5 month old and our little man is less
than 2 months away from turning 2! Crazy! Our oldest niece turns 4 on July 13th
and I can’t believe how quickly the last 4 years have gone by!
We started off June helping my sister-in-law, Rachel, move
into her first home. What an exciting time for her and the girls. I helped my
mother-in-law watch the kids and Aaron helped move her stuff into the house.
The 21st- 24th the kids and I went to
Granbury. I was supposed to go on a fishing trip with Aaron but I decided not
to go. His dad went instead and they had a blast. Since I had already requested
the Thursday and Friday off, I decided that I would go spend the long weekend
with my parents. My dad actually had the weekend off and thankfully was home on
the Thursday and Friday as well. I woke up around my normal time on Thursday
and we loaded up and headed out a little after 6. Aaron and his dad left at the
same time. I’m glad they hung around long enough to help me finish loading the
van!
We made it to
Granbury a little after 11 for lunch and nap time. Friday my aunt, cousin and
my cousin’s two little girls came to visit. My cousin, Jennifer, hadn’t met
Molly yet. When Alex got up from his nap, my mom brought him over to my grandparents’
house for a visit with the girls. Kellis wanted to hold Molly and Nyla wasn’t
too sure at first. It was really sweet. Early Friday evening we took the kids
to the pool. Alex and Molly both had a blast. I took lots of pictures since it
was Molly’s first time in the pool and Daddy wasn’t there. I did offer to keep
her out of the pool but he said it was ok!

Saturday morning was the pancake breakfast at the Granbury
airport. We went for a few to show Alex the airplanes and he got to see a few
land. One of his favorite words is airplane. If his love of the words airplane
and car are any indication on what he will like in the future, we are in
trouble!
Alex is now just too big for the pack-n-play. Friday
night/Saturday morning he woke up early but was clearly still tired. I brought
him in to my room with me and he fell back asleep on my bed. This isn’t
something I normally do but I knew he was still tired. He didn’t get to sleep
much longer because Molly woke up hungry. Saturday night we made a large pallet
on the floor for him to sleep on and he did well. Sunday my plan was to feed
Alex at 11, feed Molly around the same time and once they were done, load them
and head out. Things weren’t going quite as planned and my parents offered to
have my mom ride with me either part way or all the way to Cypress and then my
dad would pick her up. I knew I was going to have to stop along the way to feed
Molly but I said I would be fine. Thankfully right before I was closing the
door to leave my dad told my mom to ride with me and to give him 1.5 to 2 hours
notice and he would meet us along the way. We decided it was best that she ride
with me to Cypress to the airport that is about 10 to 15 minutes from our
house. What a blessing! We ended up having to stop several times and Alex was
grumpy! He only slept about 30 minutes on the way home. My poor boy was tired.
Thank you dad! Now we just need to get Alex and Molly up in the plane J
This month we have also decided that it is time to move. We
are preparing our house right now and are planning to meet with a realtor in
the next week or two. We want more out of our neighborhood than we are
currently getting.
July is going to be a busy month with Cecelia’s birthday
party, getting our house on the market, Molly’s baptism at the end of the month
and deciding what we are going to do for Alex’s birthday.
She didn't really want to look up
Happy 5 Months Molly!
