Visit From the Sowers Family

Visiting the JFK assassination site (babies are OUT)

Sarah Squared with Owen, Emmaline and Luke. Seriously, I could have made more of an effort to hold their heads up, but it's just too tricky with two!


Ho hum. Buh-horing. Why do our parents care about this stuff?

Vince and Emmaline sharing a joke while Luke clings on for dear life.

Last weekend, one of my oldest and dearest friends Sarah visited with her husband Bryan and nearly seven-month-old son, Luke (darling darling darling, could not get enough of him, and I mean Luke, by the way!). They flew in from Topeka, KS on Friday and left on Sunday, and somehow we all managed in our house with three babies and two dogs! :) Like Sarah and I discussed, it seems like just yesterday we were roomies in the dorms at OU, and now we're discussing which diapers we prefer. Nuts!

We kept it pretty low key and went out for meals around Dallas. On Sunday, we visited the street in downtown Dallas where JFK was assassinated, and walked around the area that includes the depository where the shot was allegedly fired and the grassy knoll. The heat of the day coupled with the stroller ride zonked my kids to sleep, but we got a few cute pictures.

Owen and Emmaline suddenly seem just a little more developed and "older" this week, and they turn 11 weeks today! Last night they had their best night yet, with no fussing and four hours of sleep between feedings.

I went to dinner last night with a friend (margaritas, yay!) and have a get together tonight for a new book club I may join, which will make my second book club (and no, I probably will not actually be reading the books, unless we will be discussing Good Night Moon, Snuggle Puppy or Dinos to Go). I feel like Vince set my friend Angela and I up for a date last night, I think he could tell I needed a baby break!
