Uncle Scott & Aunt Amy visit

Uncle Scott and Aunt Amy came to visit when Rowan was 6 weeks old. Reese enjoyed their visit immensely, showing off her room, toys, and little brother.

Rowan arrived!

Shamefully, I am updating this blog almost 4 months later. What can I say, a 2nd baby has required a little adjusting.

Rowan arrived April 30, 2008. He was 17 days early and came within 52 minutes of my water breaking at home. Despite the anxiety and 100 mph drive to the hospital, he was perfect, healthy and arrived 4 minutes after arriving. Reese was there to witness everything which was not part of the plan. She was a terrific daughter and big sister letting me know "the Dr. would make my tummy all better."

Reese moved into her big girl room just after Easter. Here are some pictures of the princess room. Rowan has a very blue room so that she really gets that he'll be a boy.

Getting ready for school

I never know what Reese is going to come up with before school. These are just a few hiding spots and outfits she picked out.

Trip to Dallas

We took a recent trip to Dallas to have some family/maternity photos taken with Andie Hamilton, a photographer we love. This is our favorite shot of Reese, her blue eyes melt my heart. There are many other terrific one's that will be displayed throughout our house. We hope to make it back when Rowan is about 6 months to get some of the two of them.

Easter

This year we spent Easter at Nana and Granpa's in Kerrville. Our last trip out of town for a while. Rowan is expected Mid-May, but I'll be shocked if he waits that long to meet his big sister. Reese enjoyed dying eggs, hunting for eggs and, of course, all the treats the Easter Bunny left her. It's so fun that she finally gets all the holidays and activities.

Trip to the zoo with Mom and Dad

Dad's new job is great! I say "new," it's been over a year. He gets every holiday the banks get. So, that included President's Day. We took a family trip to the Austin Zoo, nothing compared to the fabulous Audobon Zoo I grew up with. Anyway, sorry if I offended anyone, but really! Reese had a great time, minus the birds!
