last weekend

pickin' berries

evidence that he loves strawberries!

it was hot out there

I had a great mother's day weekend! Uriah and I went strawberry picking with Michelle on Saturday, and then we went surfing!!! I am hooked again... all Sunday afternoon we were back out in the water and Jodi joined us (even got a few action shots)! I am so excited to get back in the water after not getting in last summer at all. Oh I've got a way to go to get back in shape, but I'm working on it!! What fun!!!

Changes

Everytime I get him out of bed, he is bigger...I'm sure of it! He is such a joy; we can't get enough of him!
Our big thing right now is weaning; it's been an ongoing process for a few weeks. He is doing well, and I am just flat out ready to be done breastfeeding!! :)



He's sleeping right now, I just had to snap a pic and share :)



On the beach last weekend, enjoying the cool weather!

A trip we will never forget

:) ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** We just returned from our visit to Texas on Saturday after 2 weeks of meeting new friends and lots of family too! Uriah did great on the planes, and he was a real trooper when things got rough (flights delayed and cancelled). We just about spent the night in the Houston airport, and we got home a day late with no luggage...that's another story. Anyway, we had a great time! Made lots of memories we will always have!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY URIAH!

April 22, 2008



















One year later!




















Yummy pumpkin pie!

Super excited!

Oh my, the time has already come...we are flying to Texas tomorrow!! I can hardly wait any longer! I know our time there will go by so fast, but we are going to cram in as much time with family and friends as we can. This will be Uriah's first airplane ride :) I have been praying for safety and for Uriah to be flexible and go with the flow (he's not one to sleep in my arms anyone). I am sure all will be okay. We are flying into San Antonio and spending the night with the Meier's and then driving to Bmt area on Saturday to see friends for a few days and go to COTR (I want to see you ALL, I hope it works out), then driving back to the Meier's to celebrate Easter and relax in the Fredericksburg hill country. Oh I can't wait!!! Hope to see you soon! Uriah can't wait to meet you all!!
