Arkansas & Oklahoma

So yes, I know it's been over a month since I last posted, but I would like to start by giving you my excuses, er, reasons for taking so long. Sophie and I went on an almost 2 week escapade to Arkansas and Oklahoma (including a quick trip to Texas for Erik's brother's wedding). Then when we returned I immediately started getting ready for our big move. Yes, we bought a house and are closing next Wednesday. So the blog hasn't really been at the top of the priority list. But let's be honest, I've been a terrible blogger all year long. Sorry about that. But here's what we've been up to:

Although Erik was unable to make it due to work, the rest of my dad's side of the family gathered in Little Rock to celebrate my grandmother's 90th birthday. It was a great time of fellowship and my mom and aunt did a fantastic job planning the event.

The family at the big shin-dig.

My brother's wife, Laura. I really don't know what to say.


Sophie preparing to give her Uncle Jo-Jo (my dad's younger brother, John) a wet willy.


Cousins!

Sink bath with Gran.

Cuddle time with Nannie.


In Oklahoma at Uncle Bubby and Aunt La-La's pool!


Sophie and I think we want a pool. Christmas gift, anyone?

Sophie w/ her BFF. Who needs a bearskin rug?

Sophie thinks Cosmo needs a diaper too.

Sophie w/ her horse.

We had such a great time on our trip. More pics to come of the wedding, etc. We are so blessed to have such a wonderful family, but it was really great to come home to the best husband and daddy in the world (who made sure the house was nice and clean when we got home!).

That Cosmo... he really is a keeper! What a good boy! So, is he getting the "Be Fri" or the "st ends" part of the necklace?

I was great seeing you guys too! Love the pics from Aaron and Laura's! Now that you guys are moving into a house I think Soph needs a Cosmo of her own!

Thanks for italicizing 'younger' in the caption of the pic of Sophie with me. I love the blog and check it regularly. Thanks for the updates.

That picture of Sophie lounging on the dog is so funny!

Congratulations on the house! That's exciting!
