Sorry...it had been so long between blog postings that I didn't realize our comment notifications weren't being properly forwarded to our email accounts. Thanks for all the comments on our two prior posts!
We just passed our official due date, as our little girl has decided to ride out the cold front hitting Houston. We don't blame her, but we're getting very impatient!
Thank you, our sweet unborn lovechild, for providing the justification for blowing a ton of money on a fancy DSLR camera. We've long lamented the fact that we never take enough pictures, a trend we wanted to reverse before Baby Girl comes.
The Houston Arboretum, inside Memorial Park, has long been a favorite place of ours to go for walks, and after the hottest summer on record in Houston, the weather this weekend was absolutely amazing--a little crisp in the mornings and turning warm during the day--so that's where we spent some time Saturday afternoon. Sadly, the trees in the park, like many of the trees in Houston, haven't survived the drought. It was sad to see so many Xs painted on the trees that need to be removed.
It's that time of year again when we repent for being bad bloggers and give a quick rundown of the last year.
The other day David A left this comment on our blog:
you know why i love your blog? because every time i get sad that it's been a full month since obama's inauguration, i can visit your website and relive the historic experience as though it happened yesterday!
Well David, we were doing it just to keep your heart happy, but I'm afraid we can't hold out forever. I've resisted. I've stalled. But the time has come for another post.
We came home exhausted, and even now our bodies have not completely recovered from the ten hours of walking in the cold after little sleep. I had wanted to share some of the thoughts that I had during the ceremony and speech, but they will have to wait, as we'd like to post this before it becomes completely irrelevant.
Dannii and Jess, who live in Northern Virginia, came up the night before for a sleepover and to join us going downtown (as we can walk to our subway line, and no one really knew what to expect with parking). Check out their version of the day's events here.
When we got married, we wanted to be cool like everyone else and document our lives in a we're-a-cute-little-family blog. A year after the fact, we're finally getting our first post up. (If this starts to sound like Seriously So Blessed, please tell me.)
2008 was a great year. Some of the highlights:
We got married! What started off as a pipe dream became a reality with our low-key wedding in Hawaii in January 2008. (This morning, exactly one year since the big day, Elliott rolled over and groggily said, "Uuuhhh. I wish we were in Hawaii." Amen.)
