This Easter we decided to go camping and enjoy the outdoors while we celebrate Christ’s resurrection. We went to Enchanted Rock. Its a giant rock in the middle of TX hill country. We camped for the first time with Adolai, 7months old. She loves being outside, so it wasn’t too bad. There is quite a lot more to think about and arrange for to have all the things she needs, but it was so worth it. Here are some photos!

We got a gray couch from Ikea and she sits up pretty nicely on it. I thought I should take a few of her in her favorite outfit

It has been so fun to take pictures of our little girl. I have learned to just snap 100 photos and maybe one or two will be in focus She is constantly moving. I love these sweet smiles.

My sisters and I were all pregnant at the same time this year. Me on #1 and both of them on baby #3. So our daughters will each have 2 cousins only weeks apart in age. Here are some of the latest trio pics. The last photo is when Jonathan walked out in the backyard to find us bending over holding up our babies… Looked a little more like a boob shot than a baby photo opt.

Its two days before Adolai’s surgery and 3 days from closing on our new house. To pass the time and try and keep positive, why not make my little girl smile and snap some photos of it. Oh, and yes, I am posting the last two months all today!  I’m sure I will be a bit of a basket case while we are at the hospital waiting on our baby… For now I feel calm and very thankful we have found what the lump is and how to fix it. For information’s sake, she has a hernia in her pelvis area that her ovary can fall into. The danger in that is her ovary twisting and possibly loosing blood supply. Its a small cut and a surgery that will take 45mins. We will probably be at the hospital for most of the day, but we can bring her home that evening. Praying that we would feel a peace and calm during the process and that everything is routine and successful. My sister suggested asking the surgeon’s success rate on this procedure… I think I’ll just believe its 100%! More updates and photos to come. Glad to have the resources to heal our baby and excited to be in our new home.
