July 2009

We found out at the last minute that we would be closing on our house 2 weeks earlier than expected! So, we made a bee line to Booker in order to fit in one last trip to visit before moving in and starting school.


We were so excited that Greg's aunt, grandma and cousin were able to drive up to spend the day with us on Saturday. Em'ry had a blast playing with Gracyn!



Hard to believe, but Greg and I finally went to dinner alone for the first time since Em'ry arrived on Sunday night before heading home on Monday morning. Em'ry stayed with my mom.






The trip home was amazingly smooth. Em'ry was exhausted from the visit and slept all the way!

June 2009

Behind Again! The summer flew by but it was an exciting time for us. We spent the majority of our time staying with Brandi and Corey while waiting to close on our house. Em'ry loved getting to swim everyday.

Greg's first Father's Day was pretty special!

We made a trip to Galveston and Em'ry loved the beach. She was so interested in the sand and played for hours without getting it in her eyes or mouth. She also like standing in the water and letting the ways roll in on her feet.

Greg's parents visited mid-month and spent lots of quality time with Em'ry. We discovered that Em'ry likes to be read to even more than we thought. She must have inherited her love of books from me since Greg has been getting by on CliffNotes since Junior High :0)

My parents visited at the end of the month to celebrate their 30th Anniversary. We had a blast swimming, popping firecrackers, and hanging out. We went to a special dinner at Maggianos to celebrate.
