Jottings

Although I haven't made any new posts since May, I've still been catching some photo opportunities.  We've been spending a lot of time outside with all of the beautiful weather we've had.  Grace and Anna really enjoy playing in the backyard particularly if I fill up the pool and bring out the bubbles and popsicles! :)  Now that baby #3 is just around the corner, we took the opportunity this past Friday to take the girls to the Binder Park Zoo figuring that time is running out for those kind of occasions (at least for a little while).  They had a good time and we couldn't have asked for better weather.

Clearwater Beach, Florida

Phil, myself and the girls were in Clearwater Beach, Florida last week for our Spring vacation.  We had a great time and beautiful weather.  Here are just a few of my favorite photos from the week.  We're so thankful that we were able to get away and spend time together.  

Anna LOVED the ocean!

We found a few very nice parks that the girls enjoyed

Grace is sitting on a stool at a WONDERFUL ice cream shop that we found in a nearby city....we actually ended up there 3 times :):):)

We went on a dolphin cruise and were able to see dolphins in their natural habitat in the Gulf of Mexico. The captain of the boat let the kids drive and Grace loved the opportunity!

My Easter Girls

We had such beautiful weather on Easter Sunday.  Phil was in San Antonio, but we managed to get to church on time (amazing!!) and get home for a mini photo shoot before going to my mom's house for Easter dinner.  As you can see, we did the whole matching dress thing - I figured I might as well do it now while it's still cute and they're cooperative :)

LJ's First Birthday

Here are a few pics from my nephew, LJ's, birthday party.  He turned one last week and had a little get together last weekend.  The cousins had fun playing together and wrestling with Phil!

A Family of Girls!!!

Phil and I found out this morning that Baby #3, expected to arrive in late July, will also be Girl #3.  Although I am almost certain that Phil was bummed for a millisecond, we both know that we are so blessed to have 2 healthy and beautiful daughters, and so far....a 3rd pregnancy.  We don't have any names picked out yet and haven't really even talked about any in particular to be honest.  As a few of you may know, we had a few other "options" with Grace and Anna that we may revisit....we'll see.  We'll keep everyone updated on any happenings, but thus far, we are so thankful for a healthy developing baby.
