Alexis at Four Months

Feeling blessed

It feels like it has been raining forever. Apparently Houston gets a lot of rain. According to my brother...52 inches per year. The locals have said it not normally this bad--of course we put in a pool and fire pit and can't use it:)

Right now I am sitting in my bedroom watching the rain and lightning show. I am holding Alexis...to make sure she is really asleep before putting her in her crib. Allen is asleep next to me. I am feeling very blessed. I am so thankful for my family and to have a roof over my head. 

Alexis looking super cute tonight. 

Happy Easter

We had a great first Easter with Alexis. Allen was off on the Thursday and Friday before Easter. He has been working so much it was nice to have him home for a long weekend. 

The weather was great on Thursday and Friday. We were able to enjoy sitting in our new backyard. Here is one picture of the pool. I will include more in a separate blog.

My Mom and I got Easter baskets for everyone and decorated the house. Here are our baskets....

The Easter Bunny delivered the baskets early so we could enjoy our candy all weekend:)

Allen got a Jesus chocolate fish instead of a bunny. It is a little joke we have. 

Here I am with some yummy peeps

Trevor was able to leave work early on Friday so we were able to have dinner with him. Glad he could spend the weekend with us.

Alexis looking good in one of her Easter outfits. 

Here is another one. It was too cold to wear the sundress I got for her. The bib was a gift from the Murphy's. Kept her clean most of the day😘. 

Check out her boots. Unfortunately she has the Bergin ankles so they won't stay on😁

She sat in her high chair for the first time. It was nice to eat together at a table. 

She had so many toys to help keep her occupied. 

My Mom and I went to church on Saturday. Allen and Trevor watched Alexis.  I prefer going Easter morning all dressed up but this worked better in our schedule. On Sunday we made ham and all the usual sides. We were able to Skype with our family and friends in NY. It was great to see them and share the holiday. 

Overall it was a great Easter.
