New words

Jack is just amazing us these days with lots of new words and imitating us and Lillian at times.  A couple of days ago we were talking about a token that the speech therapist left at our house (belonging to one of Jack's favorite games). Jack said "I love money."  Money is not a new word and we've been working on "I love you" but putting it together like this was very expressive and exciting!

He also says Lillian's name in a very cute way, since her name is impossible for most 2 years.  He has said these words lately around us and during speech therapy: whale (as a southerner would say it), mouse, I do, lunch, snack, wateee for water, Asheee for Asher, and funny.

As I'm laying here on bed rest, I can't stop thinking about having a newborn a my arms. But alas, I'm still at home waiting for this baby to decide to come. My Tuesday appointment showed an elevated blood pressure (same occurred with the other two) and so I spent 2.5 hours at the hospital for monitoring and lab tests. With normal results I was sent home (thank you thank you) on bed rest. This means little to no movement around. Grammy is most affected by this and she's doing an amazing job with Lillian and Jack - in fact, she's doing everything, including taking care of me and the household chores. Wow! The good news is that I've moved on from 2cm (16 days ago) to 4cm. So really, it's up to the babe to realize what a great family and world awaits him on this side :) It could be he/she is waiting for Kyle and I to decide on a good name - suggestions anyone? Here are the first pics of my Lillian May and Jack Robert: Jack joined our family at 10:24...

Arriving in the valley - August 2016

Movers arrive We are currently living in McAllen located in south Texas just 9 miles north of the border.  It is very tropical, very hot, very spanish-speaking, and our favorite part - filled with very yummy Mexican food.  McAllen is about 140,000 population but with the surrounding towns it is over 1 million.  Kyle actually works in Edinburg where UT-Rio Grande Valley is located.  It is about a 20 min drive north.  Earth view of our neighborhood From our backyard toward the park and walking path Front flowers  The boys were the first to dig in. First of many trips to Delia's for fresh tamales These parrakeets are very noisy.  We often see them around the neighborhood, at the park, and at HEB! We are able to see some amazing sunsets from the front of the house. Library time! Lillian was the first to set up her room
