Easter

Easter was really fun this year with us being closer to our families. Andrew was also at a good age to have fun with Easter Egg hunting. We have also joined my hometown church that I grew up in. It has been so nice to go back and be apart of a wonderful church!

My family always took our picture in the courtyard at church on Easter Sunday. I'm loving that we can continue that tradition!

We celebrated Easter a week early with Tom's parents in Longview. Andrew loved the egg hunting!

Andrew 18 months old

I can't believe this little guy is 18 months old! He is so much fun, we can do a lot of activities because he is a good age. He was in the 95th percentile for height, probably going to be tall and lanky like my dad! Andrew can give high 5's, says animal sounds like cow, horse, and duck, says mama and daddy, and a slew of other words. He is such a sweetie, loves to give hugs to everyone.

It's Hard to Say Goodbye

We are moving to Tyler! As many of you know, Tom has been looking for another job for a while now. He accepted a financial advisor position with Hardy Wealth Management, Wells Fargo Advisors in Tyler. He is very excited about working with a new team!

But, then there's the part about us moving and leaving the place that Tom and I have been living for the last 9 years. We met here, our first child was born here, and we love our house. We are sad to leave so many of our friends.

Below are pictures from our last playdate with Andrew's friends Kaden and Nate. These boys have been friends before they could all crawl! It has been a blast getting to know their Mom's. Nate's Mom and I live across the street and it has been such a blessing having a neighbor going through the same stage of life you are. Kaden's mom lives very close and it has been wonderful to call her up last for last minute lunches at Chick-fil-a or having the boys play if there is a day they are driving us crazy. I'm going to miss them a lot!


I don't think they want Andrew to leave!

Music Class

We started a Gymboree Music Class this month. Andrew has really enjoyed going each week. It's great to have a class like this with it being so cold outside. One of his favorite things is when the teacher dumps all of the instruments out in the middle of the floor and lets them have a free for all! It's quite loud! :)


Andrew loves the scarf game too!

Happy Birthday to Me!

31 years, I never thought about being 31. It's amazing how time flys! My birthday is also on Valentines Day, so Andrew and I enjoyed my birthday cake and some fun activities! Tom took me to dinner at Sauce on the Square in downtown McKinney, one of my new favorite places! It was a great day!

My sweet Valentine

Andrew wanted to help blow out the candles on my birthday cake!

Our little drummer

Oh my! Is this my future? A son who will play the drums like his Dad. Andrew has been fascinated with Tom's drum set, but recently grabbed the drumsticks and started playing. I guess he has seen Tom play enough to know what to do! We are in trouble!!!

Big Snow

I thought this snow was never going to go away! It lasted several days and we were so ready for it to melt!

View down our street



There was so much snow, Andrew could barely walk in it.
