So long, farewell...

The time has come! We are moving to San Antonio. I have most of the apartment packed up and ready to go. My father-in-law comes tomorrow to help load up the U-Haul and head out of town on Tuesday. Its bitter sweet. My mother-in-law came by to say goodbye and it was very hard. A lot of tears shed.

I am sad to leave Dallas but very excited about our new future in San Antonio. I will miss all of my dear friends, old and new. My in-laws have been a great support during many crazy times and I will miss them. Luckily, we are only a 4-hour car ride or 45 plane trip up!

Good news-I have an awesome job ready and waiting for me in San Antonio. I will be working front office in a dental office. Its been almost 5 years since I left the dental field and then it was as a dental assistant so this is a very new ballgame for me.

Keep us in your prayers as you will be in ours.

Our computer "broke down" on us so it will be a little bit til I can post some more pictures but they will come soon. Isabeau is growing leaps and bounds! Caleb is an awesome big brother and growing up very fast, too fast.

Love to you all and hope to see you soon!

Joy of Motherhood

I picked Isabeau up not long after she ate and she spit up right in my mouth, on my cheek, and all down my shoulder and chest into my bra!!! Nice! This picture doesnt show the extent of the damage as the spitup and my skin are practically the same color but you get the jist.

8 weeks and gaining!

Isabeau is getting soooo chunky! We are having so much fun with her! She is constantly smiling and cooing. Caleb cant get enough of her either! In the last picture, Caleb is doing what he sees Mama doing all the time, he is nursing his bear "D". It was so funny! He lifted up his shirt, put "D" on his side, and put up to his chest, cracking up the entire time. We tried to tell him that only Mamas feed babies like that but he just kept on. Oh well. ;)

Book Club

I am in a book club and missed the last meeting. Its cool though because I didnt read the book and wasnt really that interested in it. The book we are reading for this next meeting is "A Thousand Splendid Suns" by Khaled Hosseini. FABULOUS!!! I loved it and finished it in 3 days. I was so sad that I finished the book so fast. I wanted more! So I just got his first book, "The Kite Runner", in the mail and am so excited to read it!

Sounds delish!!

I was looking online for the recipe for Rice Krispie Treats to make some for Caleb and found this one by sheer luck! So glad I did! It sounds sooooo yummy. I can already feel the fat accumulating on my butt and thighs. Oh well! Let me know if any of you make it.
