San Antonio Girls Weekend

The Sleep family girls have done a girls weekend for the last several years. It has become a great tradition that we look forward to every year. This year we decided to go to the Westin La Cantera resort in San Antonio. It was even better this year with the addition of Miss Taylor and she made it that much more fun. We were able to get a lot of sun at the pool, do some shopping and had some wonderful dinners. We even got to see Melanie (who at the time was 38 weeks pregnant with little Charlie) for dinner at Perry's Steakhouse. Naturally, Taylor was the entertainment for the weekend and was totally spoiled by Gaga and Aunt Titi. This little girl is LOVED! I already cannot wait for next year...but I think we need to turn it into a week long trip :) .

The Dirty Thirty

As reluctant as I was to turn 30, it was the best birthday I think I have ever had. My brother and sister in law came into town from Amarillo (sans kiddos) and we left Tay with Gaga and Grandpa and went to Eddie V's downtown Thursday night. After martini's,cocktails and lots of wine we had a wonderful meal and it was great to double date with Trent and Jo. The next morning (after my first "pump 'n dump") we headed to the lake houses on LBJ that Kevin rented for my 30th. It was such a great time and meant so much that all of my best friends came from all over Texas to celebrate. Even my parents came so they could watch the nugget while I had a little play time on the lake. It was so fun to have everyone all together again. The Nowlins made the best fajitas and my honey made amazing 40-day aged steaks and king crab legs. I even got a home-made carrot cake (my fav) from my mom with candles. Thanks a million to my sweet husband, friends and parents for the best birthday I could ever wish for. I am truly blessed.

San Diego

A personal goal I had set for myself while pregnant was to run the half marathon in San Diego the first weekend in June. As always wih running events, my dad was game to do it with me. Although we just ended up doing the relay, (me running 8, and my dad 5) we did it! San Diego was pretty although we wanted warm beach weather and it never got over 65 degrees. The marathon was great and I was proud to say that I was actually able to run the whole thing...even with my limited training! ;) I barely took pics so here are the few I took on my iPhone. I have to get better at that!

It's been a while...

I have seriously been slacking with my blogging. Firstly, all I really use now is my iPad and I am not as skilled with it as I was on my laptop. Secondly I have a almost 6 month old who loves to non-stop wiggle and thirdly, we are living in Austin for the summer! So... To say the least it's been a little loco at the Morgan household (where ever that is!)To catch up- Memorial weekend we moved to Austin so my husband could focus more on the new software company he is a part of. We are living in a high rise downtown by Whole Foods which is an amazing location with a view to die for. We rented furniture and just brought down our personals, so it doesn't feel quite like home but is plenty cozy. It is def different being in a 2 bedroom condo vs. our 3 story home, but I am loving not having to deal with all the stairs! It is very convenient knowing wherever I am in the condo I can always hear Miss Taylor with out having to drag my monitor everywhere. Although we have been here a month, we have also jumped back to Houston several times. Gone to San Diego, Lake LBJ for my 30th and San Antonio for a girls weekend. So, like normal we haven't been here very much yet. We should be slowing down for the next several months and I look forward to just enjoying Austin...and Taylor, Kevin and I are loving being by Gaga and Papa too (my parents).

Taylor's 1st trip to Georgia

Taylor got to visit Atlanta and Albany to meet her great-grandma, aunts and cousins a few weeks ago. She was absolutely wonderful on the airplane flights, as always. We started her early so we are hoping it stays this way the older she gets. We got to see Granny, Uncle Bob and Aunt Sherrill in Albany and then had a great "low country boil"(texans version of crawfish boils) at the Frames. We had a great time but it was too quick! And a big CONGRATS to my cousin Betsy & Stephen on their engagement! We can't wait to celebrate with y'all next spring!
