Sitting and Smiling
Ella has started to exhibit some pretty good head control, along with an interest in always being upright, so we dug out the Bumbo and decided to give her a chance to try the art of sitting. She still seems to be leaning more than sitting while she is in it, but she'll get the hang of it soon.
She has also started to smile much much more frequently. Seeing her little face light up and that smile spread acorss her lips is one of the best moments of my day. Every day. How lucky am I?

Date Nights
Sometimes mom and dad get to have fun, too! Recently, we hit the jackpot with almost constant babysitting services from the grandparents. Between MawMaw Shannon staying with us for a week to the girls spending some time with Granny Sue and Papa Larry in Baton Rouge, and all of us visiting during Spring Break, Bobby and I were able to have several nights out with ourselves and friends.
We hit the Houston Rodeo twice. We saw Sugarland and Rascal Flatts - both were amazing shows!
We celebrated Mardi Gras in Katy, TX style with our NOLA transplant friends, Al and Lisa.
And while in NOLA, we hit the town with a group of friends for dinner and drinks at Port of Call and a stroll down Bourbon Street.
It was great fun to get time for ourselves - thanks to our great babysitters! We sure wish ya'll lived closer!!

Visiting Mike [the Tiger]
I grew up bleeding purple and gold. Some of the best memories I have with my dad from my childhood are in Tiger Stadium on Saturday nights watching the LSU Tigers take the field. My dad has been a season ticket holder for LSU games for as long as I can remember. Years later, I found myself there as a student, and am now a proud alum of the university.Since my husband is also a die hard Tiger fan, we decided that while we were in Baton Rouge visiting family this weekend, we would take the girls to visit Mike the Tiger and to walk around campus a little while.

Molly's Birthday Party!
We delayed Molly's official birthday party a little bit this year since we were anticipating Ella's arrival. Also in part due to the arrival of a new baby, we decided to have it someplace where we had to do little more than sign up and show up...so Chuck E Cheese won us over and we celebrated Molly's birthday with 16 of her little friends, who all seemed to truly enjoy the day!
