The Past Month

Time to play catch up on the blog! I can't believe I haven't updated in a month. We've been busy and the pictures that follow will confirm just that!
Right after school started back for AC, we went to Houston for a girls' weekend with my mom and sister.

After returning from Houston, we had the opportunity to keep our friend's 9 month old son, Grayson - such a cutie!
And then we were off to SNU for a weekend of fun! Brad is on the Alumni Board this year, so he had to attend some meetings. We also were able to help welcome the new students to campus. AC thought the college life was pretty fun!
The Alumni Board had shirts for everyone to wear. The kids' shirts said "A Storm is Comin' Class of 20??" AC also bought these glasses at Claire's, a new favorite store!
You will notice that AC is sporting a lovely temporary cast on her right arm. Before leaving Baton Rouge to head up to SNU, AC was doing somersaults in the sanctuary. She landed wrong on her hand and broke it in two places. We took her to the after hours clinci where they put this splint and wrap on her arm. When we got back from SNU, we went to the orthopedic who put a hard cast on her that she has to wear for 3 weeks. You will see the hot pink cast in most of following pictures - you can't miss it!
Anna Claire is in a fun stage right now - DRESS UP! It's the first thing she thinks of when she wakes up in the morning and when she gets home from school. She will play for hours changing clothes and trying on all kinds of costumes and accessories. Some ladies from church donated some items to her dress up trunk.
This past weekend, we headed up to Dallas for NazNite. We were able to stay with my sister and we weren't there 5 minutes, and AC had my sister looking for clothes that she could play dress up with! Elizabeth found a winner of a dress for AC to try on:
In addition to dress up, AC is really into her dolls right now. She plays with Carly (her Bitty Baby from American Girl) all the time. AC is a good little mom to her babies. We took her to the American Girl store in Dallas, and she was in Heaven! She studied every inch of that store!
And you can't go to Dallas without stopping by Sprinkles for a cupcake. We were also excited to see that Swoozie's reopened - such a fun store!
We were able to meet some family friends for a delicious breakfast at  The Egg and I.
And now I'm almost caught up on the blog....just a few more pictures.
AC before church yesterday morning - cast, silly bands, and all! :)
At the American Girl store, AC got a new shirt and matching outfit for Carly. She wore it to the church picnic today, and ofcourse, Carly joined us!
I didn't take many pictures at the picnic, but here are a couple:
And there you have it - our last month in pictures! Here's to staying up on the blog in the future!
