Long time since last post....

Sorry for the long time since my last post, I just never seem to manage my time well. We have had a great past couple of weeks here. A couple of weeks ago we were able to meet our new nephew, adorable little Carson Reese. He is so adorable and such a good baby, he is even sleeping well this early! I was too busy meeting him that I did not get any photos of him, but here is one that Stacey took, isn't he cute!

The week before last Nana came to stay with us for a week and we had a wonderful time. Elena really loves her Nana and it was wonderful that they were able to spend some time together. They were able to go swimming together and have fun around the house. We got out a little and also stayed in a lot to watch the Olympics. I love watching the Olympics when they are on, but I know that Sam is glad that they are over. One place that we took Nana and PawPaw Danny was the Aquarium. It is a neat resturant downtown that incorporates huge aquariums into the dining area. Elena loved looking at the fish! She is so cute when she gets excited about things. Here is a photo of her and Nana checking out the fish.

Well those are the main updates for now. I will try to do a better job keeping our blog up to date :-)

No damage to report

Well Tropical Storm Edouard made his presence known on Tuesday morning. The storm really started to move into our area around 7 AM and the rain and wind lasted until about 4 PM. We lost power for a few hours, but luckily it was back on before it got too hot. We had over 6.5 inches of rain in our area and the pool was overflowing. The archway in the back yard broke, but other than that we were pretty lucky. In fact most parts of Houston did not flood, which is amazing since Houston floods so easily!

We are headed to East Texas this weekend to meet our new nephew Carson. I cannot wait to hold him and see his tiny hands and feet. I mean our baby is so big now that it is hard to remember what a newborn is like. I will post photos of him once we return. Plus Nana is coming back with us for the week and I am sure Elena cannot wait to spend a week with her Nana! I am sure I will get some other great photos next week that I will post. Have a great weekend everyone!

Waiting on Tropical Storm Edouard

We should see the effects of Tropical Storm Edouard, possibly Hurricane Edouard, by tomorrow morning. We are not expecting too much damage, but we will probably lose power. It will be Elena's first tropical storm. We will let you know how things go tomorrow, or whenever we get power back!

A Visit to the Children's Museum

On Saturday we took Elena to her first visit to the Children's Museum. Her cousin Victoria joined her for a day of fun. I was a little nervous that the museum would not have enough to entertain her, but she had a wonderful time. The highlights of her day included seeing real baby chicks and playing in the toddler fun zone! Here are a few pictures from our day of fun!
