Precious Moments, Angels and Aggie Football.

It has been such a fun October! Caroline has woken up to the world and loves to smile and watch her big sister dance all around! Despite the occasional slaps and pokes...Annalee is really sweet to her. Since neither Blake nor I had a sister, I love watching their sisterhood develop. In my nightly prayers for them I always pray for their current and future relationship. They are so close in age, which I know will bring challenges but at the same time, a life long play mate. Lucky girls!

I feel like a very fortunate mother because Annalee usually naps 2-3 hours (at least) a day. During this time I have started making it a point to spend at least some of it alone with Caroline. Sometimes she is awake and other times I just hold her while she sleeps. It is nice to have this precious time for just the two of us. The rest of the time...I have made her no promises...Annalee is the cute squeaky wheel and Caroline is destined to the bouncy chair or swing!

Last week during our time together she looked so peaceful, sweet and beautiful to me. Could not help but grab the camera and turn our time together in to a 2 month old photo shoot!

Annalee is up from her nap! She welcomes Caroline with a nice, sweet, strong cheek grab! Better keep saying those prayers!

Sweet sisters...I promise childhood will be fun sharing it together!!

Ok Caroline. Back in the bumbo!

In mid October we all headed to College Station for the Greek Week Reunion and football game. Also...Caroline got to meet her namesake, her maternal Grandmother. It was a bit crazy...since we hosted the Pi Phi tailgate party as well as my best friend Terri (who attended kidless...so fun to be with her).

Here is Dad teaching Annalee to "gig'em". She did not get it at all. I guess gig'em is a pretty strange concept. Her sweet Aunt Sydney gave her her cheer outfit. CUTE.
Here are two of my pledge sisters, Katie and Terri...loved seeing both of them. I got to meet Katie's kind and handsome husband who was experiencing A&M for the first time! I hope you liked it Daniel!
Here Caroline and I are visiting with Ms. Betty Westbrook Trant. She was one of our advisors..and believe it or not...still works with the chapter. She is one of my mentors. This women is in AMAZING shape. I hope I have half the energy that she does when I am her age.
This is my Dad in his A&M golf cart. Cute. I still can't believe he lives on campus! Here is is before the game with his game face is on. Unfortunately the team forgot to wear theirs!
Lots of father, daughter moments during game weekend...Annalee LOVED the football game.

I have to admit...I was VERY proud to see those Pi Phi letters in front of my parent's house on campus. Thanks to all Pi Phi's who came by the house. I loved seeing and meeting everyone.

Me and Caroline Lawrence with Norma Lawrence! It was so special of Grandmother Norma to make the trip. I pray Caroline inherits her wit, beauty, faith in Jesus, and fun personality... right along with her name!

So far having two kids has not felt like double the work...but double the fun! I have to admit, somedays I feel like I change diaper after diaper after diaper...and at the end of most days I feel like a diaper. But, overall they are so much fun to watch, to hold, to love. I can feel the time fly by...there are so many moments during the day when I wish time and space would freeze. For those many moments...I am so grateful.
