New Baby

We sold our house Tuesday, and baby Charles decided to come the Saturday afterward, 2 weeks early! I was hoping he would make it by may so all my babies could share a birth month, but he decided he would rather be an April baby! Labor was not as quick as Elia, but from first contraction to baby in my arms was about 11 hours. Not too shabby.

I snapped this right as the girls saw him for the first time.

A few hours old.

Back at home, this is a fave outfit!

October

Well, the cat is out of the bag.  I am pregnant!  That, and a new school year, are just 2 of the many reasons I have neglected blogging.  Here are some October Highlights:

Elia's first field trip to the pumpkin farm tuckered her out!

Alumni weekend- we spent Sat morning at UD
Cap Bar

Trail from West side to the art village

Swing by the fish bowl

My parents came to visit for a long weekend!
So did Grandma Rowles, but I took no pics.  :(

 

We explored Grapevine with my parents

Obligatory Pumpkin Patch photo

My awesome room mom threw me a party the week I revealed to my class I was pregnant.  She also had a baby blanket made- gender neutral, that says "Jesus loves Baby Rowles, and so does 3rd grade!"

Halloween- a zebra and a kitty cat

Bittersweet- probably our last Halloween in Carrollton!

Pregnancy details to come...

Welcome to the World Baby Brendan!

Aunt Shanny had her baby!  He is so sweet.  I cannot wait to visit them at the end of March!

Love when they chew their little hands!

Weekend in Pictures

This weekend was crazy busy! I got my hair did, we bbq'd with friends, Chris frolfed, and we watched R's kids since she had her baby late Saturday night! Xavier James was born 6lbs, 14oz at 11:02. PRECIOUS. I really want to put a picture up, but I won't, since he isn't my own baby.

Anyways, not time to blog, but here are some pics from this weekend (and some from earlier this week too)

Tuesday we planted potatoes. Why potatoes? Because durn Walmart didn't have any flower seeds for us to grow, so G picked potatoes. Should be interesting.

G found a caterpillar and carried it around for 20 minutes, calling it little fella, and look mom, this is my new pet! She made a little house for him and everything. Poor guy must have fallen "asleep" after all that, but Gianna just put him back in his house and that was that.

We met some friends at the park after school on Friday, and on the way home while we were walking around our alley, Chris came home and the girls got to take a ride in his car.

They car danced for a while.

We went to John and Sam's Saturday night to bbq. They had out their baby pools, which Elia could not get enough of. The cold front came through right around 5 and Elia still refused to get out. She was shaking, teeth chattering, so we finally took her out and she was not happy about that! Nothing Sam's queso wouldn't cure though.

Such a full, wonderful weekend! Can't wait till next weekend!

PS.....

I can't believe I forgot some of the most important news...We're having another GIRL!!! Two little rowles girls I thought one was cute enough....how can I handle two... I admit I was hoping for a boy...only because I need something to offset the cuteness factor of G...a little punk boy I can slap around...but two little cuties running around the house is going to be a complete delight....it will be cuteness to the max for now..and in 20 years when they have boyfriends....I'm dead meat...we're working on names right now.... The only part of it that we have set is Francesca.... it's my great grandma's name and is only fitting considering the circumstances.

The latest addition

Thats right! Moe is pregnant with baby Rowles #2. We are due May 24th, which is coincidentally Gianna's second birthday! Moe is doing great, and the baby bump is just beginning to show! We will keep you updated!
