Christmas in July




Saturday afternoon both kids were down for a nap, a rarity. Which means Patrick and I were cleaning house as fast as we could. The good thing about having your house on the market is that it forces you to keep your house clean :)



We heard a noise, and not knowing what it was but knowing it wasn't either of the kids, Patrick looked on the front porch. And there sat 2 HUGE boxes. We knew immediately what it was- a big, fat loot! Our best friends Doug and Jen who moved to Houston, mailed us probably every article of clothing (including 11 pairs of shoes and TONS of hats) that their son Drew has ever worn!!! Patrick and I went crazy and immediately opened them up and put them in nice little stacks based on the size. There were clothes from size newborn all the way to 2T. Patrick seriously wondered if they took the clothes off Drew's back! We were overwhelmed by their generosity and thoughtfulness. Daniel is set!






Later that night my parents came over for dinner and Pat grilled yummy pork chops, potatoes, corn, Texas toast...it was wonderful! Our friends gave us tons of bibs so I gave some to my mom to keep at their house. Having 3 granddaughters, she had all lil' girl bibs and I don't want JD to have a complex! ha












Here is Daniel showing off his dinosaur

roar for his Paw Paw!! He doesn't coo anymore, he ROARS!!!!!!!!! He must have learned that from big sis :)
Roaring again and getting some good belly time in.
