One Year Ago....

One year ago today Walt and I were in London
We were getting ready to go see Mama Mia
We were a family of three (Gracie, Walt and Me)
Walt was trying to convince me to take a pregnancy test
I was a coward and didn't want to see a negative result
We were praying, wishing and hoping for a baby

one year ago tomorrow our lives changed
Walt realized that musicals are awesome...especially Mama Mia
Walt FINALLY talked me into taking a test
I became strong and realized that no matter what the outcome, God had a plan
We became a family of four
All of our prayers, wishes and hopes were answered

Little did Walt and I know that while we were in London...God was creating and molding....

this little ham here!

Eloise! We LOVE you! You have made our lives COMPLETE!

Lake Brownwood

relaxing weekend for sure. walt and i were asked to go to the lake and spend the weekend with our wonderful friends Madison and Lauren Napier. we thought they were crazy at first....who would ask us to come....with a baby? but, after walt called to make sure that they didn't need us to get a babysitter...we packed up our stuff, dog included, and headed out to the lake. they have a beautiful lakehouse and we had the best time. eloise must have really enjoyed the lake. she slept from 8:45-6:30 on saturday night and then she slept last night from 9-7. the last time eloise went without a nighttime feeding was april 25th. maybe...maybe...maybe...we've turned a corner!!
