Back to School?!

So, everyone keeps asking me how it is not having to work anymore and finally be a stay at home mom. My only response is that I am not really sure what it is like yet. As a teacher, we get our whole summer off so I am used to being home all summer anyway. Only last week did the reality set in...I went to Walmart to pick up some stuff and they were taking down all the summer/4th of July stuff. In its place they were putting up back to school stuff. The first thing I did was run over and try to find pencil boxes and see if I could buy 30 of the same color. Then I noticed that they uped the price this year too. 62 cents per box. Then I remembered that I don't have to shop for school supplies this year. It was a very strange feeling. I love staying home with Harrison and now I can finally say I am feeling like a stay at home mom. Now all I need is a house to take care of! Good luck to all you teachers out there with the back to school sales...it is weird to walk by and not be filling my cart with school supplies and looking for all the teacher appreciation sales!

Big News!!

Well, after months and months (we put in our first offer in March) we finally got word on July 14th that the bank has accepted our second offer and we should be moving into our new house here in Houston on August 1st. Our realtor knows there is a lot to do in order to close on August 3rd (that is the date the bank set). So hopefully it all works out and everything can run smoothly! We are so excited...this house is more then we though we would be able to have at this point in our lives, but it has worked out for us!

In other good news, Harrison has turned 9 months old. I can't believe how much he has grown and changed. He is crawling all over and fast, pulling himself up on everything and starting to take a step here and there. He will be walking before I want him too! Anyway, the same day as we got news about the house, I had him in to Target to get his 9 month pictures done. These were a few of my favorites!

I didn't really want to be in the pictures but she got a few cute ones of us together!

Our little athlete. Jeff loves "playing catch" with him already. He doesn't really throw but he can kindof roll and kick the ball away.

He loves getting up on his knees. Usually he is begging for something when he does it...and that smile usually gets him his way every time!

Love that face!

He is always studying things. I love to watch it. And it brings out those cheeks that we love!

And that smile...I can't get enough of!
