Catching up...

We have had a lot going on since I last posted. Life has been very busy...I can't believe it is July! Keeping up with a very busy Annabelle and growing this baby(26 weeks along) has just left me with very little extra energy, but I am going to try to be better about keeping this blog updated!

I don't want to forget what we have been doing, so here is a photo recap.

Jesse and I took a trip to New York just for fun! It was our first trip since Annabelle was born, and we thought we might should get one in before there are two little ones!

The trip was really low key and perfect. We slept in every morning, ate great food, walked a bunch, sat in parks and talked a lot, and saw two shows (Phantom and How to Succeed in Business - both were fantastic).

Lots of time has been spent trying to do fun things inside the past few weeks. Pregnant Mama is not enjoying the 98 degree days! We have been swimming every other day or so...that helps!

A few "in the works" photos of the kitchen remodel. As of today, we just have a little bit of trim work and a little painting left to do. I can't wait to get some final "after" pictures up soon! I have to say - it is beautiful, and I love everything we did! The "during" part was frustrating and tedious, but very much worth the work!

My cousin/"sister", Mattison, came for a visit last week.

She starts college in a few weeks, and we were thrilled to get a few days with her! She is as sweet as she is gorgeous, and she will be a feature twirler for Baylor University this year. Baton twirling is in the blood in this family :)

Annabelle just adored her, and we miss her so much already! We had a great week of shopping, playing, and a trip to the Aquarium.

Annabelle and I made peach jam yesterday with some delicious peaches from a local orchard. YUM!

My personal favorite is the double fisting of the batter covered beaters. She and I are clearly related.

You're a great Mom. Let's see some after photos of the kitchen please.
