Early Father's Day & Birthday Celebration

I accidentally posted these photos in reverse order...just scroll to the bottom of the post and move up...


After walking we found a little hole in the wall restaurant called Hanks Casual Diner to eat dinner, let me take a moment to "plug" this restaurant...both Chad and I were quite impressed! After dinner we walked around the square some more and found a little ice cream shop where we both enjoyed some Bluebell Candy Jar ice cream...the entire day was so special...I am so thankful I got to celebrate with friends, family and my two boys!

We left the cross at the store to be grouted and look forward to see it all completed hopefully next week...

And walked around the Granbury town square...while we were walking, we found this little store that has ceramic pottery and mosaics available to make...Chad was sweet and had the idea to make a cross for our family's cross wall...I never thought that I would see Chad glue little pieces of glass with such precision...we both had a lot of fun...(Chad was a really good sport)...

After our Father's Day lunch...Owen enjoyed some time at home with Chad's parents and our friends, Kendrick and Jennifer, so Chad and I could go on a little birthday sussy trip to Granbury...it was such a gift to have time together. We visited The Barking Rocks Winery in Granbury...

It's hard to get photos of the three of us...Chad's arm isn't quite long enough to take "self takes"...so when we have the chance to get a family photo we take total advantage of it!

We enjoyed lunch with Chad's parents and celebrated Father's day a little bit early. Owen helped Chad open his very first Father's Day gift...

Yesterday was truly a sweet day...

I woke up to these beautiful blue eyes as Chad and Owen sang their own rendition of Happy Birthday to You...then we headed to Bluebonnet for some breakfast

Waiting for the Storm to Come In

Last night Chad and Owen swung together on the porch swing as we waited for the big storm to come in...B loves to be outside, it is the cure for any "grumpiness"!

I love the way B is grasping Chad's thumb...

A rainy day cooped up at home...time for a B update

Just hanging out...listening to the rain come down outside the window...

The other night we enjoyed Burgers and Bach at Central Market...Owen enjoyed the silly noises that Chad was making near his head more than the music.

B loves to take rides in the car but DOES NOT like to get buckled into his carseat...Chad tried to entertain him by wearing him in his carseat as a hat as I was getting the diaper bag together for some Saturday errends...the attempt wasn't real successful...but worthy of a photo.

We heard B's first laugh last weekend! It was so bubbly and sweet. The laugh isn't near as consistent as this sweet smile...but hopefully that will come soon enough.

I love this photo of his eyes...He looks so grown up as he is waiting to go for a ride in the car.

B's first TCU sporting event! We were able to enjoy the tail end of one of the regional baseball games held at Brown Lupton Stadium...B slept...but it was fun to be back at the ball park.

We had to capture our family's first trip to Chuck-E-Cheese...we met some friends who have a little one Owen's age and an older daughter. Owen didn't get much Skee Ball in, he hopes to play more next time! (I didn't realize I had left the burp cloth on my shoulder...this is my new fashion statement!)

First trip to The Home Depot with a stroller...again, we had to capture this moment...there will be more trips to come!

One of our favorite parts of the week...Our Saturday morning trip to Bluebonnet for breakfast...Owen keeps telling us that he wants to sample a donut...soon enough!

This is what Ella, Owen and I look like on a typical morning walk. I think we have walked almost every street in our neighborhood...at least 100 times! It is one of my new favorite things to do.
