wow!

Lots and lots has been going on in our little world! I started back to work last week and that was probably the hardest day of my life. This is part of the reason my blogging as suffered. Last year was difficult, but Crawford didn't know I was leaving, so that made it easier. Now he just cries and holds his hands up to me. It just breaks my heart!! I know it will get easier, but it still sucks. He has found something he likes though, the hats! I know you're thinking to yourself "what? Crawford wearing a hat?!" I know crazy! He really likes the construction hat, which hopefully means he'll be the superintendent, not the trash picker upper!


He has been adjusting so well, actually probably better than I have. I am just so thankful that he is with Marisa again!! She is so great with him and doesn't let him get away with anything, and he WILL TRY! The picture I took the other day of him on the end table was a foreshadowing of what was to come. I watched him climb on the table at school as Marisa was telling him NO. She had to come get him down and he was laughing. I promise Marisa we are not letting him get away with this at home!!! I'm so sorry!
We will be going to Dallas this weekend for my cousin's baby shower and to see one of my best friends, Brittany. She found out on Monday that she has thyroid cancer, which is devastating, but we know that God is in control and we are just praying. Hopefully we'll have pictures from this weekend.

Such a little boy!

Crawford is climbing even more now! And he loves it!!! He saw me coming after him, which is why he's smiling, and NO I was not smiling, he just thinks it's funny. Not a good thing. I guess this is just a glimpse into what's to come :)

zoo!

I know this is a little out of order because I haven't done our vacation yet, but I thought I would do this while I was thinking about it. We went to the Austin Zoo today with my friend Marisa and her two boys, Nicho and Noah.

Marisa is Crawford's teacher at school so we thought it would be a good idea for him to see her again before next week. We got to the zoo right at 10 when it opened before it got too hot. Crawford LOVED the goats and feeding them. He is definitely not afraid of animals, which I'm sure is because he has so many at home! :)




He also liked feeding the deer. We see them all the time around our house, so it was cool to get to be so close.

Test!

Well we got back yesterday from Baltimore & we are tired!! I will update with pics hopefully soon!!

First PROFESSIONAL haircut

I'm not sure if y'all remember but Crawford had his haircut by his dad two days before his 1 year pictures!! So even though he's had a haircut before, I consider this his first REAL haircut. We are going to Maryland on Saturday so we wanted him to look good for seeing family :) The place was great because he was able to sit in a car with a steering wheel.

This was the beginning and he wasn't too sure about what was going on. He didn't really want to wear the cape either so I had to work pretty hard at distracting him while she put it on. He was a little squirmy too! The girl said she would rather have squirmy than screaming, which I agree with.




AFTER!! I think he looks so handsome and no mullet! Yea!!!

Water Park

On Tuesday we went to the water/splash park with Addie and April. It was great because there was a fence, so Crawford was contained. Him and Addie had fun exploring. They both however, got a bucket of water dumped on them, which they weren't too fond of. I did get him in the water a few times though.





After the splash park, we went back to the Goudeaus and had lunch and let the kids play. We didn't put them in their clothes for a while, which they didn't mind. It started raining really hard so we took them out to play in it. They both loved it and were not too happy when we made them come back inside!





I'm pretty sure these pictures will be blackmail pics some day! :)
