We went for her two month check up, and she weighed in at a hefty 13 pounds, 9 ounces! You'd think her momma would be losing some weight with all the weight she's gaining! But I'm sad to say, it just ain't so:)

I almost forgot...
This chunky monkey turned two months today!

A Special Delivery
Most of you know what a fan I am of this crafty momma! So, you can imagine my delight when this arrived in the mail today, especially after reading about all of the hard work she put into getting them shipped out so quickly!
Hopefully, I'll have pictures of Walker wearing his new shirt this weekend as we kick off the start of the 2010 football season.
War Eagle!!!

A Mile Long
Now that we are settled into our house (if you count storing all of the unpacked boxes in one room "settled in"), it's time for some decorating! Of course, with a new house, there's not much room in the budget for that right now. But a girl can dream...
I'd like to start with my living room first. So here's my mile long wish list...
*(I literally just copied this picture from Ballard minutes before copying the link, and now it's gone. So sad, because it was listed at a great sale price. I'm not surprised they were all scooped up!)
1 Wing Chair
1 Coffee table*
*(Note to self, should probably wait until Frances is at least 3 or 4 before purchasing glass top table!)
*(In either black, chocolate or olive depending on fabric for cushions)
With cushions in one of these fabrics...

Catching Up, Part 2
I have to admit the best thing I heard all summer was when I called Walker and Kathryn's new school and found out they started August 9th! We were in desparate need of a little routine around our house!
Can I just say not only am I spoiled that they now go to school three days a week, but their school provides snack, lunch AND it's less than ten minutes from our house. That makes for one spoiled momma!
Here's Walker outside of school on the first day...
Kathryn refuses to smile on demand, hence the somber face.
I'm laughing at this picture of Kathryn's shirt because as I mentioned the school provides lunch, but they serve the kids the most unkid-like things. On this day, they ate ravioli. Great for kids, not so great for the white shirt and shorts Kathryn was wearing! Since then some of the funnier items they've been served are "egg" sandwiches (this is what the kids called them, I'm assuming it must have been egg salad???) and bbq short ribs. Walker also refused to eat his corn one day because he said it looked like our corn but didn't taste like it. Funny thing is the only corn we've eaten around here lately has been from a tv dinner:)

After school, we stopped at Pollman's for some cookies to celebrate their first day!

Catching Up, Part 1
Finally, I am glad to report the internet in the Busbee house is up and running! So now, let's get down to some catching up business!
Matt was blessed with two weeks off between finishing his fellowship and FINALLY starting what we lovingly refer to as his "real" job! So, we decided to leave all of the unloaded boxes behind and pack up the kiddos for a quick vacation. Thankfully, we didn't have to go too far.
The Grand Hotel in Point Clear was the perfect get away! They have a great pool and even a playgroud built in the sand, but my two enjoyed playing in the bay the most. Matt and I enjoyed it too because there was actually a breeze down by the bay, that you couldn't really get at the pool! Plus poor Walker got an AWFUL case of swimmers ear that just about killed him (and me and Matt too), he was in so much pain. The sandy beach and bay provided a better alternative than swimming in the pool!
And daddy found a hermit crab! 
Walker running along the beach!
Let's not forget Frances! She basically did this the whole time...
