Thank You, Mom!

This past week, our house fell to the stomach bug!! When we had visitors on Sunday of Labor Day Weekend, Will threw up but went back to playing after taking a long nap so we chalked it up to something he ate. On Monday, we started packing up our house and cleaning and then I got sick that afternoon in the night. I decided that I would stay home on Tuesday to rest and bring Will to the sitter. That didn't happen...he ended up getting sick at breakfast! So, him and I hung out together and I brought him to the doctor to make sure it was just the stomach bug. Sure enough he diagnosed us both with it. Earlier on Tuesday, my mom decided to fly up to take care of us since neither of us were eating and I barely had any strength from the lack of food and Travis had just left for his work trip. I was beyond grateful for her to come back up to Texas on Tuesday after leaving on Monday. She cooked us some homemade chicken soup and helped me take care of Will since he didn't lack on the energy part! :) It was so nice having the extra help around and plus I got to spend a little extra time with my mom. I ended up going back to work on Thursday and she flew back to Louisiana that night. Travis came in SICK! We had passed on this awful bug to him!

Thank you mom for being here for us and taking such good care of us! We loved having you here and spending extra time with you! I appreciate everything you and dad do to help us out even when we are 8 LONG hours away!!

Family Visit

This weekend, my family came up to visit Travis, Will and I. We always love having family here. I love when I get to spend some time with just my mom and I too. We spent Saturday shopping and then Saturday night, my mom, dad, and grandpa watched Will so Travis and I could have a date night. We were so excited to be able to have some time to ourselves but we couldn't wait to see our little boy when we got back before he went to bed. On Sunday, our friends Brittany and Derrick came to visit after they spent the weekend in Dallas for the LSU/Oregon game and more family came up from Waco/Keller area. It was so great seeing everyone and spending time with them. My parents and grandpa left this morning and I hate it when they leave. We just keep telling ourselves that we only have a few more months and then we'll be home.

It's Official...Our house is for sale!!

For the last few months Travis and I have talked about moving back to Louisiana so we could be closer to family. After talking with a couple of realtors to get several opinions and finding out we are pregnant again, we figured it was a good time to move! So, our plan is to move after this school year so I can finish out my year here in Texas. Even though we are excited about moving and being close to family and having the extra help, it was still very hard for me to see the sign in our yard and to sign the papers! This is our first home where we have made so many memories as a family. It is the best decision for our family and we are very excited to get back "home!" Luckily for us, we still have family in Texas so we won't be gone completely! :)

My aunt Lene gave us a St. Joseph statue that you are supposed to bury in your yard to help your house sell along with a prayer. We just hope and pray that everything works out for the best and we know at this point it is in God's hands.
