Happy News!

We just wanted to share the happy news with all of you that we're expecting baby number 2! I'm about 11 and a half weeks along and due around November 9th. After a few weeks of bad nausea and morning sickness that lasted all day, I am feeling much better. We had our first sonogram last week, and everything looks good and healthy so far, praise the Lord! We can't wait to find out if Huston will have a little brother or a little sister. We'll keep you posted!

He is Risen!

Clarke and I had a great time celebrating Easter with our families this past weekend. I was so excited because I thought that Huston would definitely be interested in looking for Easter eggs this year and that I'd be able to get some cute pictures of him. All of my friends with kids Huston's age have posted adorable pictures of their little ones looking for Easter eggs and holding their Easter baskets. Huston, on the other hand, wanted nothing to do with egg-hunting or basket-holding. So all we have is a video of him running away from the Easter eggs and doing everything possible to avoid them and ignore our attempts to get him interested in them. It was actually pretty funny to see. My little guy definitely marches to the beat of his own drum.


While he wasn't into egg hunting, Huston did have a blast opening and closing doors at both grandparents' houses (as usual), going up and down stairs, and playing outside. He wore himself out playing and had only about a 15 minute nap both Saturday and Sunday. Here's a picture of him with his cousins (my brother's twins) in their matching Easter shirts. (I had to put goldfish crackers on his legs so he'd stay on the couch long enough to take this picture.)

Welcome!

Welcome to our new blog! This first post is dedicated to my sweet friend, Melody, who created and ran our old blog. Without her I never would have started blogging, and you all would be without the Huston updates that I know you love (or at least tolerate). Thanks, Mel. You're the best.

This is really just a test post to see if I know how to blog by myself. If my pictures are all upside down and everything is formatted funny, you'll know why Melody was always in charge of this before. I'm not going to waste my time writing too much, in case I accidentally delete everything. Here are a few pictures of Huston from a few weeks ago when we went to the Dallas arboretum with my friend Lindsey and her son, Gibson.
