First Week Home

I have officially experienced my first week as a full time stay at home mom!! It was GREAT!!! Gavin and I had a blast all week-- we went grocery shopping and spent almost 2 hours in Wal-Mart, we both took 3 hour naps, we played games (peek-a-boo and giving high fives), we practiced waving bye bye, and started learning sign language. We spent an hour making, fixing, and eating lunch (Gavin really likes grilled chicken, mashed potatoes, and nectarines). We went swimming at Palm Beach (in Galveston) with some friends from church where we soaked up the sun and went down a water slide. Brooks had today off so we went shopping at the Galleria and ran into Shaquille O'Neal (he talked to Gavin in a store).

Brooks is LOVING me being home-- the house is clean, dinner is ready and on the table when he gets home, laundry is caught up, and I'm actually not exhausted at night so we can work out together.

Our trip to Palm Beach was a blast. We went with our with our new friends, Che (who is one of our group leaders) and her daughter Peyton (who is one week younger than Gavin). It was a wonderful chance for us to get to know one another and hang out. Gavin and Peyton got a long great and bonded in the back seat of the car (Peyton put her hand on Gavin's car seat, and then once we were at the beach, Gavin put his arm on Peyton's shoulder. Looks like we are going to have to talk to him sooner than later. HAHAHA

Overall, this was the beginning of a BEAUTIFUL new chapter in our lives!!
