Beautiful Week

This week was fabulous. I had off Wed, Thurs, and Friday. I had fun with Sarah picking out fabrics at High Fashion Home so she can make her bedding for babygirl Homer that is coming this July. I wish I knew how to sew because that store makes me want to be creative. Too bad I am also a little busy raising a 5 month old. Thursday Ryan and I went to the Woodlands and had lunch outside and went to the new Hubble and Hudson market/bistro. I wanna live in that store. It appeals to me with the beautiful flowers, yummy looking food, and all the fresh veggie, organic meat, different foods, I feel like I need to cook/eat/fill my pots with flowers RIGHT NOW. Friday I met Jennifer for some girl time. My sister was supposed to come too but got stuck in the DPS line to renew her license and had to commit after waiting 3 hours. It was great to see Jennifer, you looked so pretty as always. These days were also filled with long walks with Guen and trips to the park to swing.

Happy 33rd Birthday Ryan!

Love you, Liz

Love you Guenie

Happy 20 week birthday! Love, Mama

Three Days Off

This Saturday, Sunday and Monday I had off and was I busy. Saturday, I went to my sister-in-law's baby shower at noon. Right after that I went home grabbed Guen and we headed into the medical center to my work. My primary baby that I have taken care of for 9 months was finally going home. For the big day, myself and some other primary nurses threw baby Brandon a going home party for him and his parents. I took Guen with me so my coworkers could see her. After the party at work, I went straight to the BJ's where I met Ryan, my parents, and my sister Missy who was in town to see my parents' new house. We had dinner and called it a night. Sunday we got up and went to church. Right after church we came home to change and then headed over to my parents' house where my sister Tootie and her boyfriend Chad met us for a big Superbowl late lunch. We had so much food and we watched the game. Guen was melting down around halftime so we took off. Today, Ryan went to workout and we all went to the grocery store. I came home and made tons of food for this week for us to eat since I will be working 3 days in a row starting tomorrow. This past week, Guen did her first rolling over. Guen is hollerin', gotta go bathe her.

Weekend Report

This weekend I had off Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Friday I had a meeting at work from 10-2. It was for a committee I am on that I know I really would be more interested in if I a). was not a new mom and busy as heck b). actually lived close to the medical center so I could come in and work on stuff c). if they could pay for the $12 parking when I have to come in and d). see a! Anywho, I got home from the meeting thinking I was going to come straight home, change and help my parents move into their new house that they closed on last week, but somehow there was a misunderstanding. I thought they were moving Friday and they were really moving in Saturday. Oh well. So Ryan and I hung out watched a movie, made some dinner and called it a night. Saturday we got up and met the Sarah and Aaron at Grand Luxe Cafe for some lunch. That is when they told us the big news that Sarah is pregnant! How exciting! After lunch Ryan and went to the Galleria and exchanged some Christmas clothes and I bought a sweater, purse and graphic tee. I have not bought myself clothes in so long in the hopes that I will lose more weight. After our shopping we went straight to my parents new house and visited with them for awhile. It is so weird to see stuff from San Marcos that I grew up with in this new house. But the house looks great and they already had a lot done. Since they are keeping the San Marcos house they can make more trips to pick up other things slowly. Sunday we went to church and dropped Guen off in the little childcare nursery there. Both time when we leave her she is awake and so cute and when we come pick her up all the other babies are screaming bloody murder and having to be held and consoled by the caregivers, but Guen is just sound asleep in her crib. She is such a good baby. In fact, the last 3 nights she has slept 12 hours. We don't know if this is a fluke, growth spurt, or what, but we are loving it. Cross your fingers that she does it tonight too. So back to Sunday, we came home from church where my parents were cleaning out the closet of their room here at our house since they have stayed so long, they have a bunch of stuff over here. We all had lunch over here including Ryan's mom who came over too. I ran to the store to get ready for the work week and Ryan took Guen for a walk in the stroller during this pretty day. Here is a pic of my sweet girl who is 4 months old this weekend. She is getting so big.

Congratulations Aaron and Sarah!

Sarah is preggers! Ryan and I are thrilled.

Christmas 2009

Gosh, it has been a long time since I have written. I guess that is what happens when you are working full time, with a cold and taking care of an infant. Yes, I started back to work on December 28th and Ryan has started his paternity leave for 3 months. Work is going well and Ryan is doing a great job as a stay-at-home dad. We have been busy this last part of 2009, beginning of 2010. We have had the Homers over for dinner, we had a nice Christmas Eve with Tootie and Chad and then church service that evening. Ryan, Guen and I celebrated Christmas as a little family. We opened prezzies for Guen and had a big breakfast casserole. On the 26th we celebrated Christmas with Ryan's side of the family and on the 27th my parents came back into town and we celebrated Christmas with them. The next day was my first day back to work. We did not do anything for New Year's since we are old lame parents now. We were in bed by 10pm. This past week I have had a cold but I am on the up and up now. Hope you had a wonderful Christmas. Here are some pics for you to enjoy of Guen's first Christmas.
