Fun Day at the Beach

Last week we ventured up to Galveston to spend the day with a group of friends. We had been to the beach once before but Aunt Celeste never shares her pictures with me so I don't have anything on record. Aunt Amanda was nice enough to bring her camera to the beach so we took pictures of Caroline enjoying the muddy sand...she kept trying to eat it and it drove me absolutely nuts. She loved it when the waves would come up and surround her and then also really enjoyed digging in the sand when the water would go back out to the gulf. I decided enough was enough when she kept trying to eat the sand and then she started rubbing her eyes...didn't want to turn a nice afternoon into a nightmare...so under the tent we went. We'll have to try this beach thing again...when she's out of the stage of putting EVERYTHING in her mouth! We had a great time

Congratulations Celeste and Matt

I would like to congratulate my baby sister, Celeste and her new fiance, Matt on their recent engagement. Matt popped the question a few weeks ago during a trip to the Guadalupe River. Matt came up with a story to fool Celeste so she had no clue what he was up to. Celeste went to the designated spot with the idea that they were participating in a couples photo shoot for an up and coming photographer in the San Antonio area...she was way wrong! They are currently enjoying their engagement and are slowly starting to think about a date for the special occasion. Matt is going to fit into our crazy family just fine...we are so lucky that they found each other!

Blogging: A New Adventure

So this is my first blog...I've had friends and family members doing this for months and I am just now catching on. It is probably going to take me a while until I am familiar enough with this to get it up and running on a regular basis...plus I will require the cooperation of our 8 month old, Caroline. Keep your fingers crossed that I can pick this up quickly...I may resort to asking for help (you know who I'm talking to...). Until next time...
