FCC Fun

Our church held a huge celebration Sunday for our efforts in helping others. Our small group will be taking part in what is called a Compassion Day on Saturday as we're going to the End Hunger facility in Houston. It should be a great experience...

It was a great day to fellowship and enjoy the beautiful weather. There was tons of yummy food, rides and games. Jason and I are so happy to be part of such a great church. Friendswood Community Church is all about outreach and it is so wonderful to be a part of that. We are so blessed to have found this church soon after we moved into our house four years ago!

Runner up

Birth announcements have been ordered...yes, I know...it's about time! I wanted the picture to be perfect for her official debut and was hoping for a smile photo. We chose a simplistic and natural shot...meaning no hair accesories. So, it came down to two...isn't she lovely?

Parents Night Out!

Yea! The Newlyrents had a night on the town Friday. Dinner and drinks, friendly conversation and plenty of photo ops!

While we were out I overheard someone calling us "marrieds." The L-O-V-E must be obvious ;)

Calling in sick...

is not an option!!! I woke up Monday morning feeling like the flu was taking over my body. My initial thought is that I want to stay in bed and not move, but oh...no, no, my sweet baby girl is depending on me! I wasn't sure I was going to make it and thought Jason needs to come hooooome, but we made it and thankfully whatever took up rent in my body decided to die by Tuesday afternoon. It actually wasn't too bad as Isabella and I made a little home out of the guest bedroom and we just had cable installed :) That is a good thing and a bad thing. A marathn of a show called Real Housewives of Orange County was airing...oh my!

I just want to say thank you, thank you to my mom who raised 4...four...CUATRO!...children and am sure there were many days she wanted to "call in sick" but was the strong woman she is and clocked in and never clocked out!
