Summer of 2011 will have many changes for our small family. Adam pursued a new job that is moving our family to McKinney, Texas. Starting June 1, he is working for Traxxas. And if a move isn't a big enough change already, we are expecting a baby girl due July 19. Alexa already loves "baby sister"! We feel strongly that God has been clear on His plans for us and that makes us so excited for what is in our near future. As we are (sadly) leaving many amazing, amazing friends and family in Kansas, we felt it was important to start the blog back up so we can keep everyone in the loop. Thank you all for your never ending support on this adventure for our growing family!

Family Pictures!!

We just had some AWESOME family pictures done. A friend from church, Jess (www.mommyalwayswrites.com), took pictures of us and did an amazing job editing them. We have so many great pictures and we're thrilled! Here is just a preview of the pictures. I could post 20 more, at least, but you can appreciate these for now. :)

It was pretty cold out when we did these, but they still turned out great!

The bottom one on this picture is Alexa displaying her signature ornery grin!

Here's a couple more cute ones of Alexa.

We did have one minor mishap when Alexa fell and hit her head on the ground. We tried to take more pictures after we calmed her down and didn't have a lot of luck. She was ready to be done. I had to show this picture... even though it's a sad face, she's still cute.

Tree Farm

This was the first year that Alexa went with Mommy and Daddy to get our Christmas tree. It was pretty cold but she was a trooper! Here's a few pictures. Unfortunately, we didn't get any pictures of Alexa and Daddy... Daddy was too busy cutting down our 13 foot tree!

This man is Grandpa Ewing... I promise! :)

Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving 2009 was spent in Olathe with the Ewing's. We had lots of good pictures and here's just a brief snapshot of the fun Alexa had.

Alexa LOVES to dance with Mommy. She gets big smiles every time!

Alexa had a blast playing with Grandpa and his hat.

Alexa loves Sugar and is always following her or laughing at her. Sugar is great and very tolerant of Alexa.

Having fun with Grandma now.

All that fun and she's worn out at breakfast the day after Thanksgiving. It didn't take her long at all to fall asleep on Aunt Teddi.

Been Busy

Hi strangers! I know I have been slacking on the blog. I do apologize... like I normally do when I go through this phase. I thought I'd have time this week to update but boy the week flew by. I will promise to have Thanksgiving pictures up before Christmas next week!! We also had some really awesome family pictures done last weekend so I will get some of those posted too. So be sure to check back by Wednesday next week and there will be lots of new pictures!!

And while I'm on here... Wishing a Happy Anniversary to Adam and I. 5 wonderful years ago we were married on December 18th in Manhattan, Kansas, and to describe how beautiful the day was - December 18th was sunny and around 50 degrees! It was amazing! The cold front came through that night by the time we got to our hotel in Kansas City. Luckily we flew out early in the morning to Mexico and enjoyed a wonderful honeymoon just before Christmas. =) Just love to reminisce!
