Bubblin' Fun

I know I will be ready to be in a larger space, but we are enjoying our time in the apartment.  Drew and I stepped outside this morning to play with bubbles.  Bubbles were loads of fun but so was posing for silly pictures. :)








Look closely in the back and you will see the big machinery working on Bagby Street that runs in front of our apartment.  Both boys love watching them work!

Hello from Texas

It is has been an eternity since I blogged on either of my sites.  Wife. Mother. Banker. Daughter. Those jobs have kept me pretty busy for the last six months.  That is the only excuse I can offer.  I am sad that I haven't recorded more of Brooks' first year, so today I will start here again.  If nobody else reads it, I will have it to look back on in 20 years.


Here is the 30 second Ramsey update: We are in a temporary apartment in mid-town Houston until July 20th when we move into our rental house in Pearland where we will be less than 15 minutes from Hal's plant.  Our Mississippi house is set to close on Wednesday.  We are humbled and amazed when we look back on how God has provided for us in this transition.  


Hal:


Hal is loving being back with Cooper (who is being purchased by Eaton but we will save that for another post).  I can't tell you how nice it is to see him truly enjoying his job.  I know the stressful days will come, but it has been nice to have a break from it.


Does he look stressed to you?






Drew:


My sweet Drew has really handled all of this crazy transition so well.  He is glad to be back in Texas and gets very excited to tell me that every time he notices a Texas license plate.  He doesn't quite understand when the "big truck" will bring his "wooden trains" to his "Texas House," but we are working on all of that.

Brooks:


My Brooksie is changing everyday.  He is running everywhere and into everything.  He is fearless and determined.  He keeps us laughing with his sweet smile.


Momma:


Momma is good.  I am enjoying the smaller space of the apartment.  Less toys and less mess to keep up with.  Life has been so nuts since April that I am looking forward to this next month before we move into the house.  I am praying it will be a time for me to get some much needed rest and solid time in God's word.


That is the quick update.  And a few more pics to enjoy. :)


Such a mess!
