TEN YEARS and counting. . .

Happy Anniversary to us! Ten years ago I said "I do" to the most wonderful guy. I am so happy that he asked me to be his wife and even happier that I said "YES!" I took a trip down memory lane and picked out a few pics from the night. We look so young. . .

Ten years has gone by so quickly and to think about all that has happened - medical school, residency, DC, Portland, Austin, travels overseas (Japan, Africa, Haiti, Honduras), and not to mention the addition of a dog and two amazing kids. Whew. It has been quite a journey. Matt, you are an amazing father, husband and Godly leader of our household. I am blessed to call myself your wife. Here is to 50 more years together. Fasten your seatbelt - I can't wait to see where God takes us next!

Haircut #2

I decided it was time for Alivia's second haircut! We have a sweet neighbor just around the corner who cuts my hair at her house so we took Alivia there, too. Alivia was wonderful and sat still throughout the entire haircut. Thanks, Sam!

Sissy Reads to Bro

Alivia got out a book and started reading to Will. He was thoroughly intrigued and listened to her read for some time. Matt said at some point, "OK Alivia, now just put him in the crib and tuck him in. . ."

Saturday at ACC

We had a fun family outing at ACC. Mimi and Avery joined us. We ate lunch there and the girls had a great time playing. They have such a great baby pool - shaded, graded entrance and fenced in. It was the perfect way to spend a summer Saturday morning.

Run Will Run!

This video makes me giggle. Something about my little boy's trot/run just sums him up perfectly.

A New Stage

My sweet, rules-follower little girl came out of her room during naptime today. It is the first time that she has left her room. Before she always stayed in there until we came and got her. It's hard to believe she has not done it until now! I am hoping to find some sort of timer with a light or something that will go off when naptime is over so she knows how long her "body-rest time" is.

Paige Katherine Taylor

Paige has arrived! She came today at 2:39 am and weighed 7 lbs 15 ounces. Emily had a really quick labor. Paige is gorgeous and both Avery and Alivia loved seeing her today. We look forward to getting to know her in the years to come. My mom's birthday is tomorrow and she said the Paige's arrival was the best birthday present she could have gotten.
