4 Months

Our baby girl was 4 months old on Sunday! Where has the time gone? We are having so much fun with her and enjoy the personality she has added to our family. She can sit in a Bumbo seat, loves to "talk", has the sweetest smiles, rolls from her tummy to her back, and I noticed today that she is starting to get her 1st tooth. As you can tell she is also a great eater! It's hard to believe that this time last year we were finding out that this sweet little thing would be joining our family in 9 months. At the time we wondered "how could this be?" and "what have we done?" but we wouldn't trade her for the world!!

THANKFUL!!!

It's that time of year to reflect upon the things in our life that we are thankful for!


Every day I am thankful for my husband and 2 beautiful children. I have really been thankful for how wonderful they are over that past 48 hours...Tuesday night I came down with the most horrible stomach virus I think I have ever had. So horrible, that I will spare you all the details :) Needless to say my dear sweet husband was there for me every step of the way nursing me back to health. Thankfully his job allows him flexibility so he was able to take Greyson to MDO yesterday and stay home to take care of me meanwhile tending to the kiddos. Thankfully the kids were wonderful for daddy while I was in bed trying to get better. I am happy to say that I am starting to feel like a normal person again!! I know it will take a couple days to return to 100%, but anything better is great!

Country Fair

We had a great time tonight at the Country Fair at church! We hope you enjoy seeing our chicken and little egg!

Pumpkin Patch

We had a great weekend with "Sito" (Jason's mom-Lebanese for grandma)! On Saturday we went to the Pumpkin Patch and had a wonderful time together as a family. We could not have asked for a more beautiful day. The place that we went to had all kinds of fun things for kids to do...hayrides, corn maze, petting zoo, pig races, and of course a pumpkin patch. It was so fun to watch Greyson having a good time. It is hard to believe he is old enough to enjoy all the fun things there were to do.

Fun Pics

I love looking back through old pictures...here are some of our favorites. Enjoy!

Friday Fun

Today was an absolutely beautiful day! Even though our Texas fall has not seen fall like weather during the day we have welcomed the low 80's as a nice break from the upper 90's. Since the weather has been so nice we have been spending a lot of time outside. I think Greyson would spend all of his waking hours outside if we let him. We had some of our sweet friends over this morning for a playdate. The kids played outside while the mommies visited; everyone was happy!!

After Greyson woke up from his nap he "helped" me make brownies. Greyson is always very curious when I am cooking and loves to watch what is going on in the kitchen. So, I thought this would be a perfect way to start getting him involved in the kitchen. What child doesn't like licking the brownie spoon too, right??

Even though Davis was napping while we were outside this morning and while we were making brownies, I won't leave her out. She is growing like a weed, "talking" all the time, and is just as sweet as she can be!! Here is a picture to catch you up on her.

deceptively delicious!!!!

You mommy friends of mine that have toddlers may struggle with the same monster I do...getting your child to eat vegetables. I have been as creative as I possibly can but obviously not creative enough. I got Jessica Seinfield's new cookbook Deceptively Delicious in hopes I could find some recipes that Greyson would like and at the same time get veggies into his little body. I must admit, I was a little skeptical of how good brownies w/ spinach would be, but so far so good!!! I have made the brownies with spinach, quesadillas w/ squash, avacado spread, grilled cheese with squash and mac-n-cheese w/ cauliflower. He has eaten them all and I cannot tell you how exciting it is to see him eat something he loves secretly knowing there are veggies there!! I will tell you I made the gingerbread spice cake with broccoli and it was awful-I didn't even let Greyson try it b/c I spit it out myself :). Oh, and did I mention the house smelled like broccoli for a day after baking it?? So if you are struggling with the same problem I would highly suggest you investing in the cookbook. Happy veggie feeding!!
