A great weekend

The weekend... oh how we all love the weekends...

As many of you know Greg works weekends.  It comes with some good and some bad but right now it is working ok for us as a family.  This also means that me and Elizabeth spend a lot of time in El Campo.  This is mostly because I like hanging out with my mom on Saturdays', but lately we have had so much stuff to do. I love Friday afternoons and getting off early from work.  This past Friday I went and got Elizabeth early and we headed to EC.  We got to have a great lunch with my mom so Elizabeth could show her all her new tricks she had learned during the week.  She changes so much in such a short amount of time.  That afternoon we went out to my Dad's house since he had not seen Elizabeth in quite some time.  After that we went to Greg's parents house for dinner! Yum!  I think Elizabeth loved seeing all her grandparents in one day!  Did I mention that I also love the fact that on weekends my mom likes to keep Elizabeth in her room and so me and Greg get some good sleep!?!  Of course this past weekend would be the time that she decided to go to sleep at 8:30pm and not wake up to early morning.  She had been waking up about 2 or 2:30am for a bottle but not anymore!  She will now sleep until around 5 or 5:30am!   I can handle that!  It could also be that Greg is pumping her full with 5 whole ounces of formula!  Both Greg and I love that not only is our baby girl sleeping in her own room but she is also sleeping through the night.  We feel truly blessed. 

On Saturday, Elizabeth got to meet Miss Paislyn for the first time.  A really good friend of mine, Jessica, had a baby two weeks before I had Elizabeth.  I sure hope that they can grow up and be friends also.  Of course this would be easier if Jess and Nathan would move back to Richmond area!  :)  As much as I would love to have them close for both me and Elizabeth, I know El Campo is a great place for them and since I am there all the time anyway, I am sure we can have weekend play dates!  So, Miss Paislyn is so darn cute and so strong! She definitely has a smile to melt little hearts!  I can't wait for our babies to be big enough to actually play with one another!  So even though my little bundle of joy was a little cranky, here is picture of them together:  (please excuse the camera cord)

Now that Elizabeth can hold her head up and sit up pretty good, that is all she wants to do.  So, she has started spending some time in her bumbo...



On to Sunday... we will be closing on our old house in El Campo on this coming Friday.  As part of the contract we had to clean out all those old barns.  When I say we, I really mean Greg! :)  Anyway, Greg took off on Sunday to go out there and see what he could do.  I kind of feel bad for him because he kind of got left with the mess when he bought the house and now we are trying to figure out what to do with everything.  I know it should have been taken care of a long time ago but the reality is that it wasn't and now we are scrambling trying to figure it all out.  Did I mention there are about 40 old tires with rims back there?  Yeah, 40!  I am still trying to figure out what he is going to do with those!  I know it will work out in the end.  I am just super excited that we won't have two electricity payments, two mortgages, and two insurance payments!  Plus, I will be getting a new car! :)
