Snow in Texas!

This is our second snow storm in TX in a week! We had a white Christmas and now more snow today. Hoping for a snow day tomorrow so I don't have to go into work. Ava is really having fun with this. She enjoys catching snow flakes on her tongue and eating it by the handful.

Mia's Tummy Time

Here's Mia having some fun during tummy time today. She usually isn't a fan, but if you time it just right, she can get her exercise without complaining too much! Pay no mind to my silly baby talk to her ... ha, ha!

Last Day at Home

Today is the last day of my maternity leave at home with Mia. Ava is at school today, so my Mom and I had a fun outing this afternoon and we are now relaxing at home. We did a little shopping (I got two back to work outfits for a steal at the outlets) and had a yummy lunch out, while Mia had a nice long nap. We took some pictures to capture the moment. I am not liking the fact that I'll be leaving little Mia, but I take comfort knowing she'll be in great hands with Grammy Joyce! Back to the daily grind ...

Maternity Leave Comes to An End

I'm sad to say that this is my last week at home on maternity leave. The time has gone so fast - especially the last few weeks! Doug's family was in town for Thanksgiving and the next thing you know, I have only days left before I return to work. I'm ready to get back into the swing of things, but really got used to be home over these last few months. I'm trying to savor this last week but also get the final things done on my to-do list - deliver Christmas packages and cards, finish Christmas shopping, work on my scrap books - Oh just too much to do! I made some good progress over the weekend and today, so I'm feeling good about that. Here are a couple pictures from our visit with Doug's family. Ava had Santa visit her school today, so we got 2 pictures with Santa this year! We were rushing out of the house to get to school early, so Mia was still wearing her pj's in the picture. They weren't even her Christmas pj's. You do what you can!
