Good Morning

Shaun & I race to the crib in the mornings as this is what is waiting for us...

9 Weeks

Kara had her two month doctor's appointment last week and Dr. Thorstad was super impressed with her neck control.  She said she would have expected to see that level of strength and control at her four month appointment, so Kara is setting the bar high! 

Sleeping Beauty

Kara slept through the night last night!  This definitely calls for celebration as I got my first long stretch of sleep since she was born, 7 consecutive hours!!!

Crusin

It's the end of bat season but what trip to Austin is complete without seeing the largest bat colony.  Therefore, we ended Ross & Mere's visit with a Sunday Funday on the water. 

 

Pflugerville Pfall Pfest

For two years Shaun has been dying to enter the Pfall Chili Pfest and this year we finally had time to do it, or so we thought.  Who knew how much time it would take to make 10 lbs of chili, thanks to Ross who came to the rescue.  Friday night the boys spent the evening cooking and chopping away while Meredith and I escaped to hit the town and have a girls night out.  The boys had a really long day preparing for the cook-off which was followed by an even longer one to execute.  The day started off at 6:45am as the boys had to cook the chili on-site and get everything set-up for the festivities.  Once again Meredith and I took a different route and showed up at noon for the start of the contest ;)  We did our best to pimp Kara and boost sales but once again Ross came to the rescue with his salesman technique, slogans, and swagger.  The event was a blast and we definitely picked up several lessons learned for next year.  We're coming back and gunning for a trophy!

Three Best Friends

We've added some new additions to our "Three Best Friends" crew.  Obviously we have a plus one now with Kara but Meredith also has a plus one with her new beau, Ross.  They made the trip down to Austin this weekend and Kara definitely approves, she kept gooing and gaaing over him ;)

8 Weeks

Kara amazes us, she's getting stronger and more active with each passing day.  She's recently started grabbing for things and of course the first thing she pulled was Mommy's hair ;)
