new pics of nephew

Wanted to post some pics of nephew Alex. I'm dying to meet him and give him tons of smooches. I think my sister has plans to come home with him at Thanksgiving so until then we will be emailing pictures of the kiddos. Wish we lived a bit closer, I would head up some weekend before school starts.

I've been working on this fun t-shirt project with my cousin. She is the most talented & crafty person I know. Would die to have some of her creativity. She has come up with this adorable t-shirt idea of "Save the Hooters" I told you back a few post's ago that my college roommate has breast cancer. I thought I would sell t-shirts for $12 and $3 of each shirt would be donated to help with her fund raising. On the right hand side of my blog there is a paypal button for you to order.

The t-shirts will be charcoal heather gray with two shades of pink. Light pink for the owls and a bit darker for the ribbon.

* Sorry I can't send to individuals it would be too costly but for the ones who know her and want to purchase a t-shirt arrangements can be made to pick up in cities listed.

Nephew born this morning!!

**update-- I have a photo

This morning my sister gave birth to a healthy little boy at 9:50am.

Both are doing great. Wish I could be there. It takes me back to the day Ellie was born almost 6 months ago and how exciting that day was for us. I don't have pictures but I guess he has just a little bit of hair. Can't wait to meet him.

Well our vacation is coming to an end. Friday morning we left the house at 4am, crazy I know but Ellie would sleep most of the trip and we wanted to avoid traffic in OKC. We went to the Bureau of Engraving and Printing in Ft. Worth. We did a short tour and watched them print some money. We had some prior warning that it would take awhile to get from Ft. Worth to Dallas so that's why we chose to go early morning well I don't think it really mattered. It took us 2 hours from there to our hotel. Friday night we met Robbie and Herb for dinner at Cheddars...Yummy! It was quite different this time doing dinner with them as last year we were just hoping we would be pregnant and this year we had Miss Ellie to show off.



Didn't bring Ellie's bath tub so we made due and I think she had a good time in the sink.

Saturday we went to Frisco Freedom Fest. There was a soccer game and lots to do down in the square. We stayed for fireworks, Ellie was awake until they started then she fell asleep and slept through all the noise of the fireworks. Then it was off to bed because we had a big day at Canton. Met Robbie and Herb at 7am and then off we went to one of the largest flea-markets. It was larger than what I had envisioned. Didn't buy much just took it all in and would love to go back when it's a little cooler and after I get a full time job.

Today Ellie is 5 months old. We were killing time before IKEA opened and went to Buy Buy Baby to see what that store was like. Well this sweet girl came around the store looking for baby's to have their picture taken. She said we got a free 8x10 for being a new customer so we went for it. Ellie was happy at the time and took some pretty cute pics. Hard to choose just one so we bought a small package.

We should be on the road by noon tomorrow, not ready to go home but ready to see Sophie. Miss the little pooch.
