Oh my, So Much News

It has been a while since I have had a chance to sit and write, so prepare yourselves this is a long one . . .

Baby S went to the doctor for what should have been here two week appointment, but we did not make until almost three weeks. She weighed in a 8 lbs 1 oz, that was a good weight gain, so we were happy. We have to watch her belly button, it sticks out pretty far and they are concerned that she may have a hernia. So we will wait and see. I cannot even believe it, but she is a month old today, I do not know where the time has gone. I will post some pictures soon.

Robert graduated on May 9 from Texas A&M, whoop! We were all so excited my brother, sister in law, Mom, Dad, Robert's parents and the kids all attended the graduation. It was fun for the kids to see, but I do not think that they truly understand. The Z Man and the M Girl both enjoyed having their Aunt and Uncle in town, the love them so much! On Saturday, the girls went shopping for a bit and the boys went to kayak on the lake. Robert and Baby S stayed at home for a nap. That evening we had a family dinner at my parents house, played dominoes and ate Pecan Pie from Bill Miller, Robert's choice for his graduation. Thanks to the best sister in law for picking it up, I can always count on her and my brother! On Sunday, it was Mother's Day, we went to my parents for a late breakfast and to open presents for my Mom and Grandmother (Mom-Mom).

This past weekend we went to Austin for a graduation party hosted by Robert's family. This was also a chance for Robert's family to meet Baby S. The party was nice, but the trip was long. On Sunday, my Mom and I headed to the new outlet mall in Houston for some shopping, with out the older children, so nice. Mom got a great deal on a Coach purse, based on the lines you would have thought that they were giving them away for free. It was very reasonable. We each got a pair of sandals and a swimsuit for the S girl. We did not have that long, since Robert called in a panic that a realtor had locked them out of the house and I had the key in Houston, nice!

The time that Robert has off has been going quickly, he will start work in the next two weeks, June 2. No bites on the house, but lots of lookers. We went to Houston today to look at schools for the Z Man , I did not like the neighborhood that the first one was in. I am kind of back to the drawing board on this. We also drove around and looked for a place to live, I am kind of picky and would really like a brand new place in a neighborhood like we live in now. Basically, I would just like to move my house and neighborhood, minus one family to Houston, dreams. So, getting back on track we found nothing. While we were driving, Robert received a call from his new employer saying that they have changed his position, which is fine with Robert, just a bit concerning that he will have to move after 6 months, I do not want to be stuck in Houston by myself.

Okay, I have a couple of things that I better run and do, sign the Z Man up for some summer activities, e-mail my good friend Allison on the birth announcements and look for some possible schools for Zack in lovely Houston.
