November 2009

November was a busy month we had a great time doing a little shopping, cleaning up leaves & fun at Thanksgiving. Elizabeth is almost 2 months old already-I can't believe it. We are gearing up for Christmas around here and it's gonna be a fun season!

Miss Elizabeth is here!

Well, I went in to be induced on Sunday, Oct 4th at 5PM & Miss Elizabeth didn't make her arrival until Tuesday, Oct 6th at 6:36PM-it was a long 2 days. We had to do a c-section delivery because she wasn't heading down the birth canal correctly. Thankfully everything turned out fine & we came home late Thursday night during a flash flood-literally. We have been home for a few days and are still adjusting. Elizabeth has her days & nights mixed up so that is wearing us all out, but other than that she is doing great! Hannah is a great big sister & we are glad Nonnie is here to help us. We will be dealing with a longer recovery for me due to the c-section, but we know it is well worth it. We are so glad she is finally here & are excited about the years to come.
Thanks for all of your prayers & well wishes!

Baby Shower for Elizabeth

Some of my friends from church planned a baby shower. We had a great time & would like to thank everyone for the gifts. It turned out to be a horribly rainy & dreary day, but we had fun anyway!

Tulsa Zoo

We went to the Tulsa Zoo on Friday and had perfect weather. Hannah loves going to the zoo, but I think she was more excited about riding the Zoo's train & seeing the Tigers than anything. This was our last Zoo trip with only one kiddo.

Virginia & DC Vacation...

We went to Virginia for a week to visit Israel & April. We had a great time seeing them & their home. They showed us around Virginia & we spent a few days in DC. It was a good time for us to get away & we enjoyed it. We probably won't be able to take many vacations during our busy summertime, but we were glad to take advantage of it this year.

We are having a fun summer. We tried planting some veggies this year...we'll see how they turn out. Hannah helped me plant Zinnias. We are staying busy keeping up with the yard. Things are also busy at church. We are taking a trip to Virginia next week to see Israel & April-we are very excited! I hope Hannah does OK with her first flying experience :)

Hannah Turns 2...

I know these are very late. Hannah turned 2 on April 17th & I'm just now putting up pictures. She had a blast and is still enjoying playing with her toys. We had a party here with friends & family. She is growing up way to fast!

We went to youth camp last week & we were at Super Summer the week before that. We are glad to be home and hope we can rest a little.

Spring Break

Over spring break we decided to meet Pa & Nonnie in OKC for a few days. We went to the Botanical Gardens, The Zoo, The bombing Memorial & just relaxed. We had dinner with Pop & Mammy one night & Hannah loved swimming at the hotel. We decided since I'm still dealing with this morning/all day sickness to not go too far from home. Later in the week Hannah went back to Texas with Nonnie & Pa. Luke and I spent a few days downtown just relaxing, eating out & watching movies to celebrate our 5th anniversary.

The Botanical Gardens

The OKC Zoo

Christmas was busy as usual. We had fun opening gifts with the Gilley's a few days before Christmas! Nonnie & Pa came up on Tuesday before Christmas and stayed until Christmas day-then we all went to Texas to celebrate at Granny & Grandan's. HoHo, as Hannah calls him, brought a kitchen & lots of toys!
Happy New Year!
