Silver and Sugar

::Silver::

- Edie had her first boo boo. Got a little carried away wiggling around in Grandma Billie's dining room and I just didn't catch her before her little head knocked against the buffet. Sorry Edie Bug.

But like all great grandmothers do - E's had a remedy: A Silver Dollar

Hold it on the boo boo and it will clear it right up! Grandma Billie's sister had fallen down some attic stairs as a child and held a silver dollar to her face where she had hit - that was the only spot that didn't end up with a red mark!

Wouldn't you know it - there wasn't a mark to be a seen on Edie's face by the end of the day!

Thank you 1926! And Great Grandma Billie!



::SUGAR::

I've been meaning to share this for a while - one of my favorite things about being married to Robert, besides him of course, are my In Laws! I promise I mean this!

Both sides of his family are so warm and loving and inviting and fun and I have always felt included and like a real part of the family!

Not only did I get three more awesome parentals - but a sister and three brothers to boot!!! (I love you also - Aunts, Uncles, Cousins and Grandparents!) But along with the Sister and Brother in law - I became something that I would have never been able to accomplish on my own.

I get to be an Aunt! Not just a fun, close friend of the family Aunt (not that I don't adore being that as well, and if it wasn't for Colby I would never have been dubbed Aunt Missa :) But a real, honest to goodness Aunt!

::Our Nephew Logan!

- Lo is the coolest kid around and he's bound to be the next great musician of the family!

::Our Niece Gracie

Late in the morning on July 16th - My beautiful sister-in-law Kristen brought us a sweet little girl who I'm almost certain will be E's closest partner in crime (until we decide to give her siblings of course) :

Miss Grace Emerson Lounder! (G)

Aunt Missa & Uncle Bobby

::Other Fun Happenings!::

:: E's & G's first Astros Game in Celebration of Papa Wendel's Birthday - in a Suite no less! We knew the gals were going to be spoiled!

Gracie doing what week-old babies do best!



:: A Bucket-O-Fun. Have I mentioned that Edie can sit up on her own now, is starting crawl, eating solid foods and is holding her own bottle for real? Our little baby is becoming a little girl :)
