Tech Gameday!!!

I didn't want Craig to feel left out, so before Carlee got all decked out in Tech gear, I put her in her Baylor Cheerleading outfit. Sic'em Bears!!!

She loves her Daddy!!!

Chelsi and her 9 months old daughter Brierley came over to visit. Brierley is absolutely adorable! It was fun to watch her move all around the house. It especially gave me a good idea of what still needs to be child proofed. She wanted Carlee to play with her...maybe in a few more months.

Chelsey made this fabulous tutu for Miss Carlee and the Wreck Em onesie!

Thanks Aunt Chelsey!!!!!

A Perfect Sunday!

A perfect sunday includes going to church and sunday school, eating BBQ with good friends and then watching the Cowboys win! We put Carlee in the bumbo for the first time this weekend and she loved it. It is never to early to teach her about football, especially Texas Football. We had to practice and get her ready for the big College Game Day event this weekend - Tech vs UT! Wreck 'Em Tech!

Happy 3 months to Carlee (yesterday)!!!! There was a new little 6 week old baby in daycare this morning and she looked so tiny compared to Carlee. I can't believe how much they change in such a short period of time. My little 5 pounder now weighs almost 10 lbs. She is full of smiles and coos and is starting to roll over onto her side. She hasn't quite made it to her stomach yet, but it is coming real soon. I can't wait for what is to come, but it seems to go by too fast. I got a little teary eyed this morning when I heard the Trace Atkins song, "You're Gonna Miss This," because I already miss my little preemie who is quickly turning into a little lady!

Love, Susan

AMAZING Photos and Back to Work!

We had professional pictures made of Carlee on Monday and I've only seen a few, but they are fabulous! I could not be more pleased. I don't know how we are going to choose! Christi is AMAZING!!!!! I definitely recommend using her. Below is Christi's blog and webpage. You can see more of Carlee's pictures on the blog link below.

This is my first week back to work and man, I'm exhausted!! Being out of the office for 5 months really slows down the brain. I used to be great at multi-tasking and now I can only concentrate on one thing at a time, which doesn't really work well for my job. I need to be able to juggle! It will all come back to me soon.

Tuesday was Carlee's first day at Cambridge Christian Academy and she did great. I didn't hang around too long because if I saw her cry I would have started crying, so I quickly left. When I came to pick her up she was sitting in a little swing very content just looking around the room and then when she saw me she got this huge smile on her face. It just made my heart melt!!! So far I haven't had a meltdown yet. Of course, I miss being with her all day, but it is refreshing to have adult conversations.

Love, Susan

Pics by Kelly

One of my very best friends, Kelly, took these fabulous pictures. She has always had a passion (and good eye) for photography, but recently she started taking a class and bought a new fancy lense. Taking pictures of an 11 week old is great practice! I also love the last picture where Maddy (my dog) is looking through the window - she didn't want to be left out! Great job Kelly!

A "Sip-n-See" for Carlee

Perfect timing...right before football season. Carlee was needing the perfect Red Raider outfit and this is it..."Wreck 'Em Tech"

Cici and Mimi - Carlee is very lucky to have such wonderful grandmothers! They look pretty happy too!

These ladies look too young to be grandmothers!!!!
