And now another post just because she's so cute...

This is my mini-me - we have a very similar picture of me as a baby!

9 week comparison

Some people are saying how much Gus and Carson look alike and others think they couldn't look more different. Here is each at 9 weeks of age - you decide!

Our Whirlwind Holiday Season

One of the great perks about BJ's company is that they shut down for the week between Christmas and New Years, so for the first time in both of our adult lives, we actually had a long break at the holidays. My parents and brother arrived here in TX on the 21st, we spent a few days getting ready for Christmas and celebrating here, then we packed up and headed to Shreveport for Christmas with my Mom's side of the family, and then we hit the road to Greenville through the 1st of the year. It was wild and exhausting, but memorable (we'll probably stay put next year!)


Learning some Lax moves with the new sports set from Gigi and Papou


Never did a child get so excited about a hat and some gloves - he wouldn't take them off

Hugging Gigi


Gus wanted Santa to bring him a "Big Choo Choo" and so he did...


And this how Carson spent most of Christmas - snuggled up with me :)


Love that sweet smile (she started smiling really big at 5 weeks - melting our hearts everytime)

Carson and Nonnie

We arrived back home on January 3rd and we're finally starting to settle into a routine for the first time since Carson was born. I'm actually looking forward to quiet boring winter at home with my babies (I give it until the 2nd week of February before I'm ready to be on the go again!)
