The Hawvers come for a visit!

Monday evening, Josh, Catie, and Josh came for a quick overnight visit.  I haven't seen them since Gus was 2 days old!  Catie and I keep up with each other through texts every day.  We talk about what we have done that day, what the boys are doing, exchange questions and advice.  When we said goodbye right before I moved, we stood in the doorway of her hospital room and hugged each other crying.  We had become even closer friends while we were pregnant since we were going through the same things and were able to plan and shop for our boys together.  It was so great, but then we were being forced to say goodbye.  We vowed to keep in touch.  Thankfully, we have stayed true to that.  It has been almost 6 month since we saw each other last but we picked up just where we left off.  It felt so natural for them to be sitting in our living room while we watched our boys play together.  We got some great pictures of the boys together!  We also captured a few of Catie and myself with our boys (I never seem to get pictures of myself with Robby, so it was fun to get some with Catie and Gus!).

After the boys played for about an hour or so, we decided to go to dinner at Chuy's.  It was excellent and seriously felt like old times when we would eat Mexican food together, we had just added our boys to the mix!

We came home and let the boys play for a bit before we put them in the bath!

The boys were so tired but still fought going to sleep for a bit.  Once they did, we were able to relax and catch up on everything.  We had to get up really early this morning because we had to leave the house at 6:45 so we could make it to my doctor appointment on time and they could head out of town to visit Josh's parents.  I am thankful for the short amount of time we got to see each other.  We are going to see them in about a week and a half.  We are staying the weekend with them so we can go to a wedding in Amarillo.  We are looking forward to a longer visit with each other soon!

MORE Cousin Time!

Ryan, Natalie, and Graham came and visited us this weekend.  Sadly, I didn't get a ton of pictures.  I need to get more from Natalie.  But here is a recap of our weekend.

We met up early afternoon in San Marcos (about 20 minutes north of us) at the outlet mall for a little shopping.

We stopped on the way home at Mamacita's.  So good!  The boys were tired, but held on really well while we ate! (I didn't get any pictures, what was my problem?!)

Sunday, we got up, got ready and headed down to the Riverwalk.  We walked around, went to a few shops, then stopped for lunch at Chili's.

After lunch, we walked a few blocks to the Alamo.  Everything was going great, until Graham threw up all over himself.  Poor guy.  I think he was just overheated.  After that, we just headed back to the car (we were done sightseeing anyway).  We headed home and just relaxed the rest of the evening.

The boys had a blast together.  They played and talked back and forth.  Even though we just saw each other two weeks ago, it was amazing to see how much Graham and changed.  He was saying a ton more words!

I don't know when the next time we will be able to get together will be, but I'm thankful we have been able to see each other twice in the last 2 1/2 weeks.  We had a great time and made some fun memories!

Robby has something to say...

...I'm going to be a big brother!
















Although not in our plans, God decided to show us that His plan is much better! We found out two weeks ago Monday night that we are pregnant and found out this morning that we are 14 weeks along (much farther along than we thought, that's for sure!). Robby will have a little brother or sister around the beginning of March!
