Back in town!

I promise I haven't forgotten about the blog! We are finally back in San Antonio...for a few days. I have so many things I want to blog about! We have been in Kerrville for the past two weeks where my parents still have dial up internet (who knew that even still existed). Look for upcoming blogs about our trip to North Carolina, remodeling the new house in Kerrville, and Ainslee's latest milestones! More to come tomorrow...

6 Months Old

Dear Ainslee,

I can't believe how quickly you are growing up! In just 6 short months you have already learned how to do so much. You have become such a fun, silly, spunky, smiley, and independent little girl. You love to be around people and smile at them, although you currently only want Mommy or Daddy to hold you when you are around a lot of people. You also love animals. You could watch Charley kitty for hours, I even caught you trying to eat him! He is in big trouble when you learn how to walk... Your daddy and I are amazed every time we see you do something new. The other day you just started running full speed when you were in your "walker." Daddy and I stood there with our mouths open, we had no idea you could do that! We also love when you give us big slobbery "kisses." You are such a sweet little girl!

There is a song that is popular right now that always makes me think of you. It says:

Cause you're gonna miss this

You're gonna want this back

You're gonna wish these days hadn't gone by so fast

These are some good times

So take a good look around

You may not know it now

But you're gonna miss this

I know that these are some GOOD times, but part of me is so excited to see how much you will change over the next 6 months, year, or 5 years. When I hear this song it just reminds me to savor every moment with you right now. I know you won't stay this little for very long. Your daddy and I love you so much and thank God for the blessing he has given us in you.

Life lately

It's been awhile since the last post. We've been pretty busy with all of the fun the end of May/beginning of June always brings. We closed on the Kerrville house, Jason is finishing up his last week of school, and we are headed to North Carolina on Saturday.

As of last week, Ainslee is officially a "sitter upper" (not even 6 months old, the proud mommy would like to add). She can sit all by herself and play with her toys for quite awhile and LOVES it. It makes her look so OLD!


Sitting on Mommy & Daddy's bed. This is the new face she has started making, so cute!


Last Friday Jason's parents, grandmother, aunt & cousin all came over to have lunch with us. We had a great time visiting and eating birthday cake. Happy Birthday Grandpa!


Sunday we went to a birthday party for Elizabel who is now ONE! This was Ainslee's first kid b-day party to attend & her first swimming experience. She had lots of fun at the party, not so much in the pool. I think it was a little too cold for her liking, she refused to sit down in the water :)

At least she knows how to pose...
