The Final Four

Well, I can't say that I'm super excited to blog about this trip, but we blog about the good, the bad & the ugly around here, so here ya go...

Last year Matt entered us it the NCAA's lottery for Final Four tickets. We were drawn and 4 tickets were delivered to our house a few weeks ago. Of course when they arrived we didn't think we'd actually be using them, but miracle of all miracles, UK beat Ohio St. and UNC and we were Houston bound!!
Don't we look so happy.



 Full of confidence that our team would win.
 Eager for the game to begin.
Oh how wrong we were. And while no actual tears were shed, we certainly did not stop to take a picture of our pouting faces. We are still proud of the Cats though and definitely planning to cheer them on again. Maybe just not in attendance until the final game.

We did learn a lot about Houston while we were there. For example, eat at the Humble City Cafe. It is awesome. And if you're lucky, the owner will be there, sing hymns, and tell you all about the history of Humble, TX.

The De Lorean factory on the other hand is a total let down. It probably didn't help that we were there on a Sunday.

On a side note, this does not count as our "Baby Moon", however, Matt will no longer fly with me while pregnant which means we'll be Baby Mooning somewhere within driving distance of Orlando. Like Disney World.

Abbie, I saw you wear that dress when I was in FL, and you are definitely showing more now! I could have completely missed the bump before, but I can clearly see it in the photos from Texas. I can't wait to hear whether you're having a girl or a boy. :)

Are you ready for this?

Monday was a very exciting day at our house. I celebrated turnig 29 (Yikes! I'm getting old) and we had a fetal echocardiogram to check on Baby Lilly #2. We didn't get any great shots because once again this little baby had their hand right next to their face. A very comfy position apparently. I'm happy to report that my birthday this year was a million times better than last year  and Baby Lilly's heart looks great! But that's not what you want to know now is it. Nope, you want to know what our name list looks like...So far Matt has suggested Jelaine  and Lapchild (for traveling purposes) and Adelyn has suggested Adelyn, Susie, Martha (if it's a boy), and Baby Scruffa Muffin. Still not what you're looking for? Hmm, how about that Baby Lilly #2 is a... BOY!!! And while we are so not ready for a boy and a little shocked we're really exicted too. Thanks to everyone who voted, commented or left me messages on facebook about the Chinese Calendar. Both i...

Two!

On August 2nd the Buddy Boy turned 2! He was and still is so incredibly proud of himself over this achievement.   Caiden is the most perfect combination of all boy and sweet and snuggly toddler that there ever could be! He loves trucks and balls, throws caution to the wind, and has a stubborn streak that isn't going anywhere. He adores his daddy more than I can explain, loves to get kisses from mommy and wants to do everything his big sister does. We never knew how much we needed this little boy until he arrived and we are so humbled and blessed because we were chosen to be his mommy and daddy.   How can we thank God enough for you in return for all the joy we have in the presence of our God because of you?   1 Thessalonians 3:9

"I have ponytail!"

Yesterday Adelyn wanted me to fix her hair in a ponytail. I can assure you it's much harder than it sounds. Poor kid got my hair. But she doesn't know it and after seeing herself in the mirror she was so proud. The first thing she wanted to do was show daddy. So, we made him a video... At dinner I was lamenting about how grown up she looks and that it makes me kind of sad. Matt's sympathetic response? "Her hair really isn't long enough for a ponytail if you ask me. She looks like a boy from the front and when she turns to the side she looks like a pirate." Ahh, just what every girl wants to hear, "you look like a pirate."
