Sheesh, behind again... what can I say?
I am thankful today for the ability to drive to different cities in Texas to see friends! Yesterday we visited Houston to see our friend Kimchi, who was working at the International Quilt Festival. We hadn't seen her in over a year (she commented that the last time she saw Amelia, she was still only 4lbs).
Today we went to San Antonio to see Leigh, who was in town for work. It's so nice to be able to spend time with friends even though we are so far away. In a few weeks, we will see another friend who is coming to town for the Formula 1 race.
I am also thankful for my Aunt Paula, who is incredibly strong and is inspiring me in ways I can't explain. Not only does she have a successful book blog, but she raised an incredible girl who is kicking butt at an ivy league school, and living her dreams. Meanwhile, my Aunt is battling Lymphoma, and taking the time to research schools for Amelia to attend when she gets old enough to go! It would be so easy to give up, burrow away in her house, and let the tough things in her life get her down, but she doesn't, and it's incredible to me. I hope I have that much resilience in the face of pressure, and that if I ever lose my hair, I look that cute with a bald head! :)

We're in Texas, Y'all!
So we've been in Texas for almost 5 months now, and time has flown by! This month, we had both mine and Tim's families visit, in addition to a few friends from AZ. It's been so fun showing people around our new city.
I've been slacking on the blogs because I've been spending all my spare time crafting. I signed up to do a Trunk Show at the Little Gym, where Amelia takes classes. I'm nervous about selling my wares to others, but I think it will be a fun experience regardless of the outcome. So far, I have aprons my mom made, leftover Owie Owl ice packs from Amelia's birthday party, reusable snack bags, and a few jean purses to sell. We'll see how it goes!
Amelia continues to grow and change. She is walking a bit, crawling everywhere, babbling up a storm, eating us out of house and home, and cracking me up on a daily basis!
I decided I need to do my month of gratitude again, because so often I forget how incredibly blessed I am. Forgive me if any of these are repeats from last year. :)
Gratitude days 1 and 2:
I am so thankful for Amelia and Tim! They are the source of most of my joy and happiness. Amelia is sweet, smart, and inquisitive, and Tim is patient, kind, and thoughtful. I am very blessed to have them in my life!
