Around our house...

Saturday was a great day because the ladies at our church had a Welcome Tea for me. It was held at a nearby french bakery type restaurant. The food was very yummy and many ladies showed up to simply say, "Welcome," and to get to know me better. We played a few games and they took a quiz about me. I was also able to share my testimony with them so they could see a little bit more of who I am. Below is what I came home with- a beautiful cookie bouquet that represented Texas. The heart cookie in the back said, "Deep in the heart of..." and then the Texas shaped cookie was in front of that. It was so cute!



This is Halle in her new bathing suit going to the pool. Our church had a big event on Sunday at a water park in our town and we left the park with no bathing suit for Halle. I'll spare you the details, but let's just say a constipated child + a laxative= a bathing suit that goes in the trash. Halle is getting more comfortable in the water, the more we go swimming and loves to wear her bathing suit!





This was my conversation with Halle in the pool.
H: Bye, have to go to work
M: Where do you work?
H: Have to go to meeting, have to go to lunch
M: Oh ok, well we're going to go home in just a minute.
H: 5 minutes.
M: Oh ok, Halle


This is what happens when Halle disappears for 30 minutes- a big mess!




She is becoming quite the little mommy. She loves to take her baby for walks and feed her a bottle. I've caught glimpses of her rocking her and last night as I was washing dishes, Halle came in and took the dish towel off the hook and wiped the baby's mouth- then returned to what she was doing! So precious!




In other news: I'll be 15 weeks tomorrow (Friday) and I have had about 2 days of feeling better- so I'm holding my breath, but hopefully I'm on the way to no morning sickness! Halle and I will be flying to Chicago this weekend to spend the week with my family, so I'm especially hoping to feel good with all the traveling. And, we have a really strong potential house that we're looking at. We're getting the roof checked out today, so please pray that if this is the house for us that we'll know and everything will work out accordingly!
