August-End of Summer

It's August and summer is about over, but sure doesn't feel like it in this Texas heat. The first exciting thing that happened this month, was that we asked my brother Sam and his fiancee Chelsea to be the godparents of our new baby boy to come, Noah Paul! They seem pretty excited and so are we. : ) My dad got settled into their house at the end of July, so we went to go visit him and have dinner. Genevieve was very excited to see Pa! One of my friends I know from Fort Worth area (she also now lives in Plano) has a 15 year old daughter named Jade who is very sweet. She watched Genevieve for me one afternoon, so I could start registering for baby boy stuff. She was so great with Genevieve, so yay! New babysitter. : ) Nathan's mom and brother came to visit us, which was a lot of fun. We spend a few days swimming at the pool, showed them Nathan's office. then their last day here, Nathan took them to the mall to do some shopping. It was so great to see and spend time with them.

My mom came in town this same weekend for an interview at the church connected with my dad's school, so she and Dad came by for an afternoon visit, which was fun! One of my friend's Ana had her baby shower, she is also having a boy and due in October, so that was fun to see her again and see all the cute baby boy gifts! I have also started potty training Genevieve. She is pretty good during the week with using the potty seat, but weekends are another story. Since Daddy is home, she thinks its playtime haha! We recently went to a Newcomers Dinner at St. Mark's to learn more about our parish and what they have to offer. That was good to meet new people and find out a little more about the church. Turns out the mom of one of my friend's from Dallas is the assisant to the Pastor. So that was pretty neat! My brother's wedding is just a few weeks away, so I will be picking up mine and Genevieve's dresses from the alteration shop next week.I can't believe Sam is getting married, crazy, but so exciting! Should be a super fun weekend. : ) 

Nathan had his one year performance review and got a wonderful raise! So yay, so proud of him and all of his hard work! Now we can start gradually doing some things to the house. We ended this month with a fun a little visit from my cousin Jacque and her husband Phillip. It was so great to see them, I have really missed them since they moved to Laredo. Jacque is like a sister to me. It was fun to show them to our new house. Jacque painted Genevieve's nails haha! Genevieve was fascinated by the whole thing, haha too cute! They treated us to dinner, which was too nice of them. Then Jacque and I watched Hush, Hush, Sweet Charlotte, and old family favorite! Meanwhile, Nathan and Phillip went to the pub for a drink. But they returned just in time to end the movie with us. They left the next morning, was sad to see them go. But we were happy to have spent time with them! Another exciting note, my mom made it to Fort Worth yesterday with all of her things. so she and my dad have been busy unpacking everything. We will be seeing them tomorrow to celebrate my dad's birthday, yay!

Well, I guess that's it for this month! More to come in September. : ) xoxo
