Back from Texas after a great week!

Who knows why mom would put this outfit on me...
My new fish

Sitting like a big boy

Wow! It's been a while since I've written on this. My mom, sister and I just got back from Texas on Sunday morning. What a great week! We had such a good time with the Hipsher family. The weather down there was beautiful. Every day was over 95 degrees but it was always breezy and we were able to swim in their pool to keep cool. We were also able to go to the beach, do a little shopping, play cards, and work at the homeless shelter one night for dinner. We were originally supposed to come home Saturday night but we missed our last flight to Indy due to weather. There were about 12 of us standing in the airport knocking on the window waving our ticket to the pilot in front of us already pulling out...it was sad!!! We ended up staying a night in a hotel in Memphis courtesy of Delta airlines. My mom, sister and I had a good time though spending one more night together.

Michael did an excellent job with Dane while I was gone. He not only had to take care of Dane but the girls and himself all by himself at night. Michael's mom and Judy were able to help us out during the daytime while Michael was at work. Michael even made it to church on Sunday morning with Dane.. and as our good friends told me ..."he looked a little frazzled and could tell he hadn't shaved in a few days." Dane is now sleeping through the night and also doesn't cry when we go on stroller rides in the morning with the girls (Lucy and Lola). I can also tell that Dane has grown more fond of him, as the night I came home and Dane was fussy....Michael told me "he likes it when you do this..." 

Michael met me at the airport with Dane and I never thought I would, but I cried when I saw Dane. After spending every day, every moment, every hour, and being "attached" to me, it was overwhelming to see this little boy that somehow looked and felt different when I held him. Even though I was gone 6 days from him, it felt like weeks. It's made me appreciate every moment during the day I get to spend with him. I am the luckiest girl!
