Friday Free Time

For over a month, I haven't really had a lot of "free time". We've been busy at our house... just with everyday normal things, but also with recoveries from an ER trip for David, and now the beginnings of physical therapy to get my aching back into shape again. Of course I have to mention the BIG event of the month - my two grandchildren have their first birthdays this month, too!

AUSTIN had his first birthday party last Saturday in Houston and we drove out there for that. Oh, what fun - pinata and all! His actual birthday was this Wednesday, and I heard they had a fun day then as well. AUSTIN is such a cutie... with a slew of priceless expressions which he parades across his precious face! Austin was quieter this trip, but still got his message across whenever he wanted to with both jabbering and facial expressions. He loves to move, and can really move FAST! He continues to show signs of athleticism which of course pleases the

Granddaddy in this family!

MEGAN will turn one tomorrow! We drove from Houston to Weatherford to see her last Saturday night after the big party for her cousin. We celebrated a little before the actual birthday, but she didn't seem to mind. At least it wasn't a belated birthday celebration! She will have her actual birthday party with family on her birthday this Saturday. MEGAN is a busy little girl who shows determination... she is chatty now with lots of sounds and babbling, and even able to use some sign language. She is loving her Mommy a lot right now and really wants to be with her. She is just a little bit shy although she can sure flirt with her Granddaddy! She has him wrapped around her little finger, just like she does her Daddy!

Uncle Dave and the Grandparents really love these two little ones, and are excited about Austin's baby sister Sophie who will soon join the family! We are so thankful to have them in our lives!
