Wedding Album

4 years ago Brad and I got married. I still love looking through our wedding album. I love thinking about the beautiful day we shared with family and friends. One of my bridesmaids posted pictures of her wedding album today and it had me thinking about how thankful I am to have wonderful pictures of our special day. Below are some pictures of our wedding album. The album was made by our photographers Schmidt Photography. I took the pictures of our album in my dining room so there is a slight glare and while I did not post a picture of every page there are a lot of pictures in this post. Enjoy!

Possibly the WORST Thanksgiving EVER

Last Saturday we traveled to Georgia to visit Brad's family for the Thanksgiving holiday. On Monday Hudson was hit with a stomach virus. On Thursday we thought he was getting better, only to find out that Brad was now sick. Everyone woke up feeling fine this morning and then Hudson had a major relapse tonight and Brad is still not feeling great. We have been stuck in the house all week and we all have cabin fever. Poor Brad did not even get to go to his family's Thanksgiving. We are facing a 13-14 hour drive tomorrow with 2 sick people. This sounds miserable but we have to get home. My thoughts are scattered because I am one exhausted Mommy. At this point I am just trying to hold it all together and make it home before I get sick too. I am praying that we can make it home tomorrow in one piece and that I can get my poor boys well. Please send good thoughts and prayers our way...we could really use them.

Is this the worst Thanksgiving or holiday ever. I would love to hear some stories that top this (let's be honest - I could use a good laugh about now).

Hope everyone else had a very Happy Turkey Day. I am very thankful for all of my wonderful family and friends and I will be even more thankful when my two boys are feeling better.

Trick or Treat Recap

Hudson had a great Halloween weekend. We started off the weekend with his class Halloween party and then the Barton Creek Halloween party. A fun time was had by all. On Saturday we watched the Dawgs put up a good fight against Florida but in the end it was not enough. We ended the weekend with a block party and some good old fashioned trick or treating.

Hudson Reading

Weeked in Pictures

We watched the Dawgs lose again (but we still look cute getting dressed up in red and black) and we went to the Pecan Street Festival in downtown Austin. It has been a fun weekend.

Just a little mess....

First I want to say thank you for all the kind words about the new house. We are getting settled in and we are really enjoying our new home. So when I posted the pictures of the new house I did not share pictures of every room. I did not share pictures of the office because the office furniture we purchased is on back order until September 10th. So I have not really unpacked or organized the office mostly because there is no where to put all of our stuff. And now something has happened in there that I had not planned on... more junk is migrating in to the already cluttered office. Anything that does not have a home ends up in there. Since my favorite blog posts to read are the honest, real life accounts decided I would come out of the closet and share my mess.

Here is a view when you look into the office. Don't you love the card table as a make shift desk?

Lots of unpacked boxes. I can't even stand to be in there. That is why I am blogging from my laptop in the very organized living room.

Some of our favorite photos just stacked in a corner...Sad but true.

So for now the doors to this room remain shut!

I hope that shortly after September 10th I will be able to share some pictures of a beautiful, functional and organized office.

First Day of School

Today was Hudson's first day at his new preschool. He was so excited to go to his school. He loveshis backpack and lunch box. He was ready for a great day and he looked so cute. His day started off rocky because he did not want Mommy and Daddy to leave him at school. I think overall he had a good day and each day will get better.
Check out some cute pictures of him below before we left the house this morning.
