Don't You Hate It When...

People don't update their blog for weeks!!! I do because blog surfing is what gets me through middle of the night feedings, that and texting Val and Miles who are sometimes up too! Yet here I am weeks without a new post (and this one won't contain any pics!).

The problem is we've been living without Internet, surviving off of our iPhones. We had hoped to remedy that problem by getting our cable set up last week. The customer service lady told Matt over the phone that he had to come to their office to show any proof of home ownership (utility bill, etc.). Matt went gas bill in hand, stood in line for an hour only to be told he needed an AL Power bill and a mortgage note. Needless to say, he was a bit perturbed. A quick call to customer service confirmed that the first lady gave us wrong info and that we would have to provide these two proofs of ownership. So we'll head back at the first of this week to provide our proof.

So that's the long explanation for the lack of posts. Hopefully, we'll be up and running this week. After all, we've got lots to catch up on...a mini vacay at The Grand Hotel, Walker and Kathryn's first day of school, and our ever growing and changing Frances.

Catching Up

Sorry for the lack of posts! We've been pretty busy...mostly because of this sweet little one!


But we've also been doing a lot of this...packing up and heading to Dauphin Island. There's nothing like being on the water in the summer time!
And this...visiting with family!
And a whole bunch of this...unpacking boxes!!!


The kiddos and I have been in Mobile for about three weeks now. We've been staying with Pops and Tula as we slowly but surely unpack the house. Matt finishes up in the 'Ham and moves down this weekend which means we will have officially made the move! It's hard to believe our move is almost complete!

Photos with Frances

These pictures are a long time coming, but I couldn't resist sharing them.

Here's our sweet little girl all dressed up and ready to go home from the hospital...

Big Brother Walker, who up until then had been completely indifferent to our new addition, wanted to hold her as soon as we got home. And even more unlike this high speed four year old, he wanted us to take his picture with her. I thought these were so sweet...

Especially considering the first time he came to see Frances he walked right past her and asked if he could play with my iphone. The next visit he informed Pops that he didn't need to wash his hands because he would not be playing with the baby! And then these...

Pretty in pink...
