Mini Milestones

30 Jun 2004 by

Therese is reaching more milestones these days. Since last week she has been sitting up on her own. She still topples over sometimes, but not as often. And she’s perfectly content playing on her own. This helps mommy out quite a bit.

We went to Houston last weekend where she slept the whole way there. She would have slep the whole way back if daddy hadn’t missed the turn to Austin and almost ended up in San Antonio. We also picked up a wooden high chair we bought off of ebay. She loves it and actually lets us eat dinner again.

We expect to start feeding her solids this month…but I’m in no rush while she’s still perfectly content with mama’s milk. We’ll probably have new adventures in feeding and cloth diapering to tell you about.

Walk for Life and Father’s Day

21 Jun 2004 by

Thanks to all of you kind folks out there who sponsored Therese in the Texas Alliance Walk for Life! The walk was last Saturday. There was a great turnout. It was excellent to hang out with our friends: Mark, Brian, Norma, Tanya, The O’Sullivans as well as some Squires–Steven and Mike. Although Therese did not win the “Top Youth” award for pledges this year (but watch out next year), she did manage to raise $1,170. Not bad for a 5 month-old. :) Our friend, John O’Sullivan out-did himself again this year raising over $8,000 and our parish raised over $10,000. (Most of which was John’s contribution!) Look for pictures soon in the gallary.

Sunday Adam celebrated his second year as a father. (Babies in the womb count!) I made him a special brunch and dinner complete with a very yummy Triple-Berry Cheesecake. We watched a little NASCAR and went out to the batting cages to let Adam hit a few. Happy Father’s day to all the dads out there especially our own! :)

Another Year Older

01 Jun 2004 by

Well, our Church and I turned a year older this weekend. It was very awesome sharing my birthday with Pentecost and the birth of our Church! No tongues of fire came down above our heads, but the Holy Spirit was definitely present in the blessing of all our friends who stopped by to celebrate with us.

We can never get too old for a game of croquet or Mexican train when you top it with birthday cake, ice cream, and a housefull of good friends! :)

It was the 4th anniversary of my 25th birthday and life is as it should be. As I was lamenting it almost being the 5TH anniversary of my 25th birthday, a friend reminded me if it were any different perhaps it wouldn’t be as it IS…and it sure IS wonderful! The best husband and the loveliest daughter!

We have some more birthdays this week to celebrate:
June 3: Dad Gretencord and Kimberlee D.
June 4: Dad Lozano and Rebecca L.

May you all have very blessed days!
