Water Baby

First time in the pool, and she loved it! It was a beautiful day on Saturday, not too hot, so we took her for a swim. She was SO mellow, and relaxed, which is the opposite of her personality, so I think we have ourselves a water lovin' baby!

At first she was really excited

Then she started to relax, so she popped in her thumb

Then she sat back and chilled for awhile, all she needed was a drink. 

Don't Stop Believin'—and other notes on good music

1) Lately, I have felt a strong association between lower-level office work and Journey's iconic anthem.  (Perhaps due to this scene.  And then this scene.)  Luckily for me, I do about 40 hours a week of lower-level office work, so yes, that means that my Ipod is doing Don't Stop Believin' overtime.  It seems that every time I walk into a file room, my soul just craves to hear: "Searching in the night!!!!!!!!"  An empty file room makes an awesome stage for sick 80s air guitar solos, trust me.
2) Does anyone remember this post, Adam's Top Billboard Hits?  Well people in the music industry apparently read it and took it to heart, because that song has gone big time, being played as the anthem to no less than a Steven Seagal series, a The Rock movie, and even that weird, awkward welcome party for Lebron James in Miami.  Right now, this song is hotter than Hansel circa 2001.

All I'm saying is, you heard it here first, folks.

A little time off

When we moved to Texas for our year off we had lots of expectations. But they haven't quite turned out as much as we hoped (I know it sounds sad, but it's not). We are learning so much, and having fun with this crazy roller coaster of a life. And even though at times we regret not going straight off to law school, we sit back and remember what it's all about, FAMILY! Adam and I have been so blessed to be able to spend so much time together and to  have time to learn all about our daughter. So I guess what I'm trying to say is that I'm happy that life doesn't turn out the way we think it should, surprises are always exciting, and we should always welcome change....can't get too bored ya know.

So before Adam got promoted at work, we had some quality time with our little family. Here are some pictures of what we were up to.

We all laid on the floor and got some fun family photo's.

The twins

This is our new walking trail we discovered, it's really big and only 5 minutes from the house. It has lots of cool caves and different trails to take.

Solana was only interested for about half hour, then she dozed off on our way back to the car.

I love this picture. Just playing in her nursery

I put her down for a nap and when I clicked on the monitor to see if she had fallen asleep, I got this BOOTY shot staring right at me. We were laughing so hard, she cracks us up when she sleeps.

Morning time is my favorite with her, she has all this energy and is so playful. This is her singing away. She has discovered her voice in full volume!

G-pa Prestidge just got back from China and spoiled us all. Solana got some pajamas, in many colors, and a HUGE panda bear, I love that it's bigger than her right now.
