Lindsay got hitched!

My little cousin, Lindsay, got married last Friday. It was a beautiful wedding! Caroline had fun getting to be a flower girl again. This was the second time she has gotten to be one. It was lots of fun, but we are very thankful that it is over! We are fortunate that she survived both weddings and has made it down the aisle twice now!

We were able to have a mini family reunion and get to see lots of family we don't get to see that often. It was a great time. Enjoy the pics!

"Let's Go To The Movies"

This was the theme of Caroline's dance recital today. Her class did ballet to Tinkerbell "Fly to Your Heart" (I love this song)!! They also did tap to Bambi "Little April Shower" (or as Caroline would say "Bandi").

We stepped out on a limb this year and hoped that we would be able to make it through a few months of dance. Thankfully she has FULLY enjoyed every moment and we are so proud of her dedication. We have loved getting to see her grow over this year in the art of dance. This was the first time she has performed on a big stage in front of a large audience (probably 500 people). We will always cherish these special memories.

We are closing!

I just got a call that our closing date is set for 6/25. There were days when we weren't really sure we would ever see the day! I'm overjoyed just thinking about the "freshness" of a new home. I lay awake in bed at night thinking about how I will decorate the house. We've never had a brand new home so this is VERY exciting for us.

As I write this, I must say that my heart hurts thinking about leaving the life we've known for the past 8 years. There are so many things about this place we will miss. Some of the many things we love...in no particular order:

1. Our church family at Hill Country Bible Church in Pflugerville. These people know us like no other. We have been through so much with them.

2. Chuys-I hear the Chuys in Plano totally stinks.

3. Playgroup-Caroline has made sweet friends here and it's been so fun getting to know these ladies-Irene, Becky, and Karen. They better visit often!

4. My obgyn is Dr. Susan Orth and she is amazing! Because she delivered my babies I feel oddly connected to her. She is so nurturing.

5. My sweet friend Krista, who I met at the library of all places!

6. Our dear old neighbors from our old house. Margo and her husband Charles lived across the street from us. She literally became like a mom to me. She's the kind of person that will drop everything for you.

7. Greater Austin Dance Academy. Caroline went here all year and she had a blast getting to learn ballet and tap. I met a sweet friend named "Amanda" here. We laugh because it only took us the ENTIRE year to talk to one another and we instantly clicked. She loves Dallas and I know we will definitely keep in touch.

8. First Baptist Church in Pflugerville. Caroline LOVES going to preschool here. Her teachers are amazing and have HUGE amounts of love to give to all of these kids. I will miss how whenever it's time to leave all of her friends yell "BYE CAROLINE!!!"

9. Beautiful lakes and hills

10. I knew I was missing one...HEB, our favorite grocery store!

These are only a few of the things we will miss. There are so many more. I will have to do another entry on what we are most excited about...so stay tuned!

Yep, that's me

I'm walking! Will took his first few steps several weeks ago, but now he's decided that he prefers walking instead of crawling. I'm going to miss his unique, crab crawl or whatever it was.

He's so full of life. We love this sweaty, curly headed kid!

beautiful...

She is

1. unselfish
2. tender
3. understanding
4. servant
5. godly

This is my mom. I know I can call her at anytime and her ear is always available. I don't know anyone that puts herself last as much as she does.

I can't imagine life without her.
