I Love this Time of Year

Can't believe it's already Thanksgiving and this weather is absolutely beautiful!

Chris and I flew home this past weekend to meet the little man - Caeden. Only being a couple of weeks old, he doesn't do much but he's sure fun to hold. John and Cheryl are doing so well and they are truly blessed to have such a good baby. I never heard him cry and was happy as can be the entire weekend.

We drove back to Dallas yesterday with mom - that drive never gets any better. Mom and I met with her realtor yesterday afternoon and looked a couple of houses and have a few more to look at today. I LOVE house hunting even if it's not for me. I remember growing up going to the Tour of Homes with mom so I guess that's when it started for me. Mom's a little stressed because she so badly wants to live here but it's hard knowing dad won't always be here with her. He's traveling so much but will still spend some time in Amarillo so mom will travel back when he's there.

My mother-in-law will be here on Wednesday and I'm so excited to see her. Nothing better than having both sides of the family here for the holidays. We'll have 19 people over for Thanksgiving which is a little intimidating but it's always fun to be surrounded by family and friends. I hope everyone has a blessed week and enjoys this great time of year!

Caeden Lane is here!

Caeden Lane graced us with his presense on Wednesday, November 4 at 5:21am. He weighed 7 lbs, 13 oz and was 20 inches long. Everyone is healthy and overjoyed! They were able to take him home yesterday and now the fun begins. Congrats John & Cheryl - we can't wait to meet your little man!

House Hunting?

Mom and dad were here this past week and it was so good to see them. Dad's been in Mexico for 60 days so seeing him was long past due. They surprised me when they said they were in town to shop for houses - I knew they were beginning to think about the future but had no idea they were thinking about making the move this soon.

They found a condo in McKinney they really liked and will hopefully make an offer this week. I think this will be a great project for mom while dad's in Mexico. The condo is not 100% complete so she'll be able to finish things the way she wants. I'm so excited to think they might be here as soon as the first of the year!

On another note, Caeden will also soon be here and we could not be more excited for John and Cheryl. I know this journey has been a long one but it will so so worth it when they meet their first son. Everything will be perfect and they will be amazing parents! We love you guys and couldn't be more proud! Hopefully I'll have pictures to post before the week is over.
