Labor Day Weekend and Update

As usual I am behind on my blogging so I am going back to Labor Day to get caught up. We really enjoyed the long weekend and got to spend good quality time with family and friends. My sister, Ingrid, and her daughter, Georgia, came and stayed a couple of nights with us. Sutton's sister, Chelsea, also came with Casey and their daughter, Caroline. They stayed in Eldorado with Grandma Lux. Sutton and Casey went hunting and I think they had a blast. We all had dinner on Friday night at Fuentes and it was fun to watch Caroline and Georgia interact. On Saturday while the boys were hunting, Ingrid helped me set up my registry and decide what I might need for the baby. My friend, Ashley, met us at Target and we made it a fun girls day out. I am so glad these two came to help because I am clueless and there are just too many options out there. I feel so blessed to have so many experienced moms in my life who can give me good advice. We had lunch at Cheddar's which included sharing this amazing piece of chocolate cake...I have not had any real cravings besides sweet tea, but I do not pass up chocolate cake these days.


Georgia was a trooper during the trip to Target and lunch, but she was pooped by the end of the outing.









That evening we drove down to Eldorado to visit more with Chels and the rest of Sutton's family. We had a great meal and had a great time watching the girls play. The boys were late getting in and they seemed to have had a large time. (I stole this pic from Chelsea's blog...Sutton got a new toy and he enjoyed taking everyone for rides over the weekend.)

I thought this was too cute...

It was a great weekend with some rain and perfect fall weather. Following Labor Day, Sutton always gets busy with the West Texas Fair in Abilene and the Planet Ag booth, so that is what he has been up to and I have been busy with work and nesting. We had a bit of a health scare recently with one of Sutton's tests coming back bad, but fortunately the follow up catscan came back clear and we are thankful and relieved to have that behind us. Sutton beat cancer 5 years ago and so we always have that fear in the back of our minds when he goes for his checkup. Thanks to everyone who has been praying...God is so good! This weekend is our last quiet weekend for awhile so we are enjoying being close to home and getting a few things crossed off our long to-do list. Check back in a day or two and I should have the blog completely updated. Have a great weekend!
