A New Place

We are so excited about CB's new place of residence while Mommy is working! We survived the first two days with minimal crying! Daddy dropped her off this morning because I had to be somewhere at 7am for work. He said she cried when he left. I am going to choose to believe it's because she wanted me, but maybe it was just because she figured out that she has to stay all day. Who knows! But she got the hang of things and seems to be happy about the change. Helen told me that she is "strong-willed" when it comes to eating! Ha! Ha! I probably should have warned her about that, but she found out quickly that when CB says she is "all done" she is "all done!" Her vocabulary truly amazes me right now! I am anxious to hear all about what she is learning and I know that she is really going to enjoy the structure and the fun activities in her new place! Thank you Lord for providing this wonderful couple!

Football Time!

Well it's almost time! August brings extreme heat and with that we know that football season is right around the corner! We kicked it off by going to the Highland Park family picnic (although we ate inside)! CB enjoyed running on the indoor turf and hanging with Granddaddy! We got to see the new football facility and eat some Chik-fil-A. She doesn't have a cheerleader uniform, yet, but she has pom poms and a cute little Scot onesie that still fits from last year. I am holding out on the cheerleader outfit, after all...I am not going to endorse that in any way, but the outfits are really cute, so I am sure she'll end up with one soon! Eye roll! :)

Big Changes

We are meeting with a couple today that will potentially keep CB beginning on Monday. JoJo and her family are moving to Sherman so we have been looking for a new place for several months now. I had written this couple off because we didn't think they were going to have a spot for her, but low and behold she called on Friday and said she wanted to meet with us! I am really excited because she will be close to my office and also close to my parent's house so it's a win/win. I'll have to find someone to keep her in the summer, but that is a long time from now. This couple have been keeping kids for more than 20 years and they have a little school inside their home. All of the meals are homemade and she will be learning in a structured environment with only 3 other kids. This is such a great scenario! I hope that CB will adjust well and that it will be like a new home to her. Jodi has been a blessing and we are going to miss her so much. :( CB and Jaci have become good friends, so we hope to maintain their friendship through playdates, etc... It won't be the same without our sweet JoJo around, but we wish her all the best!!

Cousins

CB LOVES her cousin Abby! She is so sweet to her and it's been so much fun to watch Abby respond. She is already six months old and she talks and squeals when CB is around. It is great to see them playing and I know they are going to be sweet friends as they grow up. We have been on a roll lately and have been able to see them nearly every weekend.

I love their expressions in this one! They look like twins!

Little Babbs!

She looks like my brother in this one!

Playing!

Little Runners

This is pretty cute! It takes a minute to load so just stay with it until the video pops up!

CB and Dax

CB had another playdate with her little friend Dax. We got together at the Galleria for some lunch and to celebrate Dax's second birthday! He turned 2 in July. It has been fun to watch their progression. The time before, they both stared at each other and cried. This time they had a ball watching each other, running and laughing. Dax is a character and kept CB entertained the entire time! Jennifer and I are pretty sure they are soul mates, so these photos will be fun to see at their rehearsal dinner!! Ha! Ha!

Stay Tuned

I am getting really frustrated with Blogger! It won't let me change my background and this has been the reason that I have am lagging behind on my updates! I have tried several times to make this happen, but it's not working. FRUSTRATION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
