We CLOSED!

FINALLY ... and, of course there were issues at closing, but it happened! We will be moving over the course of the week ~ check back soon for pictures of Will in his new house!

Galveston!

Will went to Galveston with my parents, Aunt Amy, Uncle Josh & Miler on Saturday while Patrick & I went to my 10 Year Reunion (which was a blast!). We met them down there on Sunday to celebrate Father's Day with more family. Will & I stayed with YaYa Sunday and Monday night ... we went to the Strand, swam in the pool and just hung out and played in the condo. It was nice and relaxing!








Here are a few pictures from the Reunion:

A couple new pictures....

I got my new camera charger yesterday so here are a few pictures of Will from this morning...

Bedhead!!

Update...

Well, we are STILL waiting to close on our new home. This has been a process to say the least, working with his bank has just been ridiculous. We have gotten a lot more updates in the last week however, so we know it is in the works and should be very soon! As soon as we are in and get settled we'll post some pictures of the house.

*I managed to lose the camera charger during the packing/move, BUT I have ordered a new one, so there should be new pictures of Will SOON! He is learning something new every day, and talking like crazy! He pretty much repeats anything you say (which means we all are on our best behavior, and really have to watch what we say these days!) He loves babies after visiting Miler, and his new word is "bobby" (for baby)~ he thinks anyone in a stroller is a baby, and will say it over and over. Yesterday in Michael's he saw a stroller across the store and began yelling for the "bobby" ... luckily he listens pretty well, and knows what "shhh!" means!! He is developing a funny personality and is definitely getting a temper :-( which we are working on!

Baby Miler

Will & I went to visit Aunt Amy, Uncle Josh & Miler ... here are some pictures from our trip up to Lufkin.

Happy boy!

My cutie on one of our LAST drives to Cypress (I took it at a stoplight with my phone). Luckily he did not mind being in the car most days!) for an hour there and back. Thank goodness summer has started ... and now no more long drives for Will and I!

An evening with the Novosads ...

Memorial Day weekend we finally got to spend an evening with my best friend Jennifer, her hubby Brandon and their PRECIOUS daughter Malley. Malley and Will played so well together! We enjoyed our yummy pork chops, the fresh green beans and most of all the great company ... we cannot wait to have you guys over as soon as we move in our house (if that ever happens!!!!!)

Trying to get them to pose at the same time ... impossible!

Will is so excited to be at the Novosad's house!

Baby Miler has arrived!

Amy and Josh welcomed Miler Guy Stewart into the world on May 22, 2008 at 4:52 PM. He was 7 lbs. 5 oz, and 20 inches long. He is absolutely perfect! Mommy is doing well, and they hope to go home sometime this afternoon. We could not be more excited with the new addition to our extended family! Will is looking forward to playing with his baby cousin soon!!
Congratulations Amy & Josh ... he is beautiful!

Will and the baby pool

We definitely have a water baby ... Patrick and I decided to get Will a little pool so he could play in the water last Sunday, and he had a blast. We set up his Little Tikes slide so he could slide in the water, and he loved it! He would slide down, and say "Some!" because he wanted to do it again!!
We are going to have a fun summer!

Our weekend away ...

This weekend we headed to Canyon Lake for a family getaway. We enjoyed having some time to ourselves (and giving my parents their house back for the weekend - hopefully we will have some good house news SOON!)It was also nice to have some time to relax, of course only when Will took his naps! Most of our weekend was spent just hanging out and enjoying watching the deer off the back porch, and watching Will run around ... he is a very busy boy these days!


Our drive there ... sunglasses in one had, his pretzel in the other!


Getting ready for the pool ...


He LOVES the water!


There were deer everywhere.


Our sleepyhead on Saturday morning, isn't he adorable?


Will really enjoed climbing in and out of the open space on this table ... it kept him entertained for quite a while!


Enjoying his ham sandwich on the ride home.


Being Will is tough!


Our Mother's Day picture (after a LONG day!)

Talking up a storm!

Our little guy has SO much to say these days ... his favorite word is some. He points to everything and says some, it is too cute.

Now that we make our long drive through the country a couple times a week he also knows what cows say, he will "Moo!" if I point and ask him.

This weekend he started saying all done. He had a runny nose/cough, and started wheezing last week so Dr. Taylor has him doing breathing treatments right now. When we finish and turn off the machine he very proudly says, "All done!"

He has also mastered everyone's name in the house - of course Momma & Daddin (not Daddy!), my mom is YaYa, and every time he sees my Dad, he says, "Hi Pa!"
Nonnie has turned into Nonna, and Poppy is Pop.

We are amazed at all he is saying ... everyday it is something new!

Bluebonnets!

One of the great things about living in the "country" (as Patrick likes to call Montgomery!) The beautiful bluebonnets...



I promise he did not pick any!!

Update

Well we are officially living out of suitcases and boxes ... and patiently waiting to close on our house. Please pray for us that everything works out, this home selling and buying process is much more stressful than we could have ever imagined!

Here is a picture from Amy's shower in Lufkin that Will, Mom, Nonnie and I went to last weekend (in the midst of the move!) Needless to say we had a CRAZY weekend. We are hoping to get settled into my parents this weekend as we wait on word from the next house....


I promise to post some more recent pictures of Will SOON!
