Gma & Gpa

 "you don't know what you've got 'till it's gone" as brilliantly coined by a big hair '80s band. family. the go-to babysitters, Sunday dinners, holidays spent together, birthdays, watching grandma and grandpa play with your kids...... this past weekend we were blessed to have grandma and grandpa colledge come for a visit. i felt so special that my parents would take time out of their busy schedules to come spend some time with us and be here for us for gwen's blessing. i didn't realize how much i've missed them until they left. they are wonderful parents and grandparents and millie and gwen couldn't get enough of them. ♥

 Luke and I stumbled upon this neighborhood with thousands of poppys growing EVERYWHERE

the people just let them grow wild. It was absolutely gorgeous. 

per her request peanut butter and honey christmas tree and candy cane

I can not get enough of this little one. She is so smiley and giggly. 

It was hard to find a picture where she was not smiling.

Her blessing dress.

We finally finished Millie's new room and she loves it. Once it was completed she decided she was a big girl and was done with the crib. She gets so excited to take naps and go to bed because she gets to sleep in the big bed. The bed was my old one from when I was a little girl, the dresser from craigslist, bookshelf ikea, and wall decal etsy. Overall it turned out better than we expected. It is now our favorite room in the house. I had to throw on some pictures of my sweet cuddly baby. She is so cute! I can't stop kissing her!

she had an explosion so we rinsed her off in the sink. I could not resist the temptation to take picture of her beautiful rolls

steps from the country

We finally drove around our neighborhood a little bit and realized that we are at the doorstep of the beautiful rolling hills of the Texas countryside. We even found a zebra/ buffalo farm a few blocks away!

Millie is always trying to hold Gwen's wiggly hands

While I fold laundry Millie pulls everything out and plays dress up
