100th Post & Suits of Summer

100th Post! I can't believe I made it. It took a lot longer than I thought but I am happy that after 100 posts I am still blogging! Is anyone still reading???

If you are, I need your help. I have a J.Crew gift card burning a hole in my pocket from Christmas and I feel the urge to purchase a new swimsuit for myself. Why, a swimsuit in January you ask. I feel like retail stores always come out with their cute new summer clothes in January - March time frame. By the time I am ready to buy swim wear in May, all the cute stuff is gone or they don't have my size anymore. So this year I am going to buy a swimsuit now. I need something that is cute, age appropriate (not getting any younger) and will work while I chase Hudson around the beach or pool. What do you all think of the following options. Don't judge on color because each of the suits below comes in several colors (colors can be seen at jcrew.com)

Ok, here is your chance to pick my suit for summer! Leave a comment with your vote.

The Joys of Parenthood

So I feel like everyone I know is pregnant. While I won't share who, I am very excited and happy for each of them. Being a parent is a wonderful thing and I am so very thankful for my little man. And when I hear the news of friends and family who are adding to their family, I can't help but think; maybe we are ready to have another. Then I am brought back to earth with moments like these: Hudson banging a golf club against the staircase, Hudson sticking his hand in the toliet and screamig water as if he has found gold,and Hudson standing on the arm of the sofa just before he dives in to the decorative throw pillows. Ahh, the joys of parenthood.






**NOTE: We do hope to add to ur family someday, but today is not the day. I have a lot of respect for those Moms out there that have 2 or 3 little ones because I am fairly certain that it is more than double or triple the work.

The Strongest Toddler in the World

Hudson has gotten really into these large stuffed animals. We had them in his room but had to remove them because he was putting a three in his bed and then sleeping on the floor (because there was now room for him). He has started carrying them all over the house. It is really cute to see. Below you will see him with the polar bear.

Bad Hair Day

This is what I found when I got Hudson up from his nap this Sunday. I promise for a better longer update later this week!!

Trick or Treat

We had a awesome Halloween this year. Brad arrived in Austin at about 1:00 pm. We are so excited that he is finally here and that he made it here safely. Hudson was excited to put on his Superman costume and head to a Neighborhood Halloween Block Party. There were tons of kids there in some great costumes. We had a great tex-mex feast. After all the Block party fun, it was Trick or Treat time. Hudson wasn't so sure about Trick or Treating at first. Then he warmed up to the idea once he realized you get candy at each house. He was a little confused and thought you eat the candy at each house. He was on a little sugar high after a pack of M&Ms and a pack of Skittles. The weather was perfect and we could not have asked for a better Halloween. Brad has been resting up today as he prepares to start at his new office tomorrow. The first day in a new office can be tough. I hope he has a great day.

More to come soon! Maybe an update tomorrow after Brad's Big Day!

Life in Austin

Wow, it has been a month since my last post. With no camera, I have not had many pictures to post.Luckily, my Mom has taken some great pictures with her camera. And I hate a post without pictures of my favorite little man. Life in Austin has been great. Brad will be here this weekend for good. We are so excited. He will be starting at Wachovia in Austin on Monday. I am still job hunting, but I am enjoying my time with family, friends, and of course Hudson. It has been challenging being a full time Mommy but Hudson is adjusting well to our new routine. We are all excited for a fun Halloween Weekend. I will be posting pictures of our little Superman next week.

long time no post

Strange title, I know. We have had a lot going on lately and therefore I have not had time to post. Hudson and I are officially in Austin now. We arrived in Austin Friday night after a long drive and a fun stop to visit friends in New Orleans. Hudson is adjusting well to life in Austin. Now all I need to do is find a job and find a preschool for Hudson. Brad should join us in Austin at the end of October. We miss him so much already and wish he was here with us. I don't like to post without pictures but sadly my camera is not working great and I have not taken any pictures with all the stress of moving. Just wanted to let all my faithful readers know that Hudson, Maverick and I have made it to Austin and we are loving it so far. If you are in Austin, we would love to see you. Give us a call. If you are in Georgia, we miss you already and please come visit us soon!

Love and Kisses!
