For the Love of Food

Once a week in the morning I take Landyn to Riley's Donuts to pick out one donut and share some donut holes. She LOVES food and especially anything with sugar!



She also LOVES to help cook any and everything she can. One night she helped her Daddy make pizza! Such a humble face-haha!

Visit From Ba!

Our wonderful "Ba" came for a long weekend visit to meet Baby Lane and practically give her soul to us! Thank you Shelly, for the food, gift of sleep, a date night and fabulous pedi! And the water table for Landyn's BDay! We love and miss you! Wish you lived closer :)

 After we came home from a lovely date night, we found this little sleeping beauty in our bed! Sneaky girl :)

We were able to take Landyn to do ceramics at The Glazery in Missouri City. It was so fun for us to take her and make her feel special! She picked a frog and a butterfly box.
Such an inviting entrance!



Ba gave Landyn a water table for her BDay present which we opened early so Ba could see her gift in action (with cousin Jakob who visited for a day and night)!

 Landyn has converted the water table into her personal swimming pool!


The kids played with Ba's game while we waited for Grandma Goshorn's 70th Birthday lunch. They did so well taking tuns!

 While Ba got her turn with Lane :)

After several attempts for a good "grandkid" shot, we got Jake's foot!

Lunch for Grandma's 70th at Maggianos was a hit! The kids were very sweet :)

And someone wanted to be a part of picture taking so we bribed her to "cheese" (holding the camera lense cover) and them let her shoot a couple :)

Thanks for visiting Ba! We can't wait until you come back!!!

What a Ride

Talk about an emotional roller coaster...

Astroworld, Houston - and I thought this place made my stomach drop and heart flutter...

Day 1 - Sept 12 (planned 'elective' induction day): We woke up at 5:30 am to call and see if there was a room ready for us. The answer: "No - call back in 4 hours"

That was what we heard for the entire day until 4:30 pm when (after no food all day) when we were told to try back again tomorrow at 5:30 am.

Day 2 - Sept 13: Repeat of Day 1 except we were "denied" at 10:30 am so Mom and I went to eat a BIG lunch at Santa Barbara in Alvin and on a shopping trip (where we got Landyn a new mattress so that Lane could have one of his own) to get my mind off of the negative (THANKS, MOM)!!

Day 3 - Sept 14: We heard a "YES" at the 5:30 am call and headed over to the hospital once Meredith arrived to stay with Landyn!!
We gave big kisses to our sweet girl and soon-to-be BIG sister who was still asleep :)
(in the meantime, Landyn's immune system was still fighting off all previous viruses and obtaining a new, horrible infection - Pneumonia)

Lane's Arrival to be continued...

Nine-Eleven

Sunday was a sad day for the nation...

But it was a happy day for Grandparents...
for the Maternals...

for the Paternals...

Nine, Ten, Eleven

We were really pushing for a 9/10/11 birthdate for Lane, but it didn't happen...
False alarm - telling big sister goodbye


I tried though! I even thought my water broke (leaked) and went into the hospital to get checked...

Yea - not so much! They sent me home. More waiting we shall do (only 2 days until induction day)!!
