Summer Fun

We finally made it to the NICU to visit and show alexis to the staff there. Loved visiting the best NICU docs on the planet. 

The girls loved visiting and goofing off with Dr Green and Dr Nystrom. Wish I had taken a pic with the amazing nurses. 

Your old man had another birthday this year so we took him out for BBQ dinner. 

Love these two. Dad and I went out with friends to another BBQ place for date night to celebrate with friends. It was so nice to get out together. 

Adrianne took me out for my birthday to lunch and lots of my sweet friend visited. I have awesome friends. 

Dad and the girls took me to dinner for my birthday. I picked Gloria's. Love me some Mexican food. 

We sure missed Claire at girls camp! :( 

Lexie was really grumpy waiting for the chocolate cake. Since I can't have dairy while I nurse alexis, Dad bought me a vegan Oreo cake that was super yummy. He's so thoughtful. 

The girls begged and begged to paint Lexie's toes. I caved and have to admit I love seeing her teeny toes nails painted. 

She is starting to notice things around her and grab onto them. Her fist in her mouth is still her favorite. 

She's so cute I could eat her. 

We took a trip to Austin since dad took a week off and we stopped in Waco and went to Dad's law school. Here's the Baylor bear statue. I'll look in old pictures to find one we took way back when. 

We did lots of wakeboarding during his week off. Dad is pretty tricky and seriously fun to watch. 

Pretty awesome huh? 

Lexie was such a trooper. 

A serious trooper. 

Here's Claire going off the blue slider. She's getting to be quite the rider. 

I will post videos of Hallie and Audrey soon. They are all such great wakeboarders. Love spending time together. 

Lexie has been sleeping around 7 hours at night which has been amazing. I feel like a new person now that her colick has made a turn and I'm getting more solid sleep at night. Daddy starts at a new firm tomorrow. We are excited to hopefully spend more time as a family. 

I've been missing you so much lately. Been having lots of hard nights and days. I can't even express the emptiness I feel knowing I will spend the rest of my entire life waiting to see you. The part of my heart that is yours will have to wait much longer to kiss you again. 

It's been so nice to spend so much time together this past week. Sure wish you were here. 

Love you like crazy. 

Xoxo
