2.12.09

We went to San Antonio this past weekend to celebrate my dad's (Poppy's) birthday. We went to eat at Pappasitos on Friday night and had a great time! On Saturday we received the heartbreaking news that my mam-ma had been taken to the hospital with severe back pain. We drove to Austin that night and arrived shortly before the doctors came and told our family that she did not make it. She had an aneurysm of her aorta and did not make it through surgery. My Mam-ma and Pa-pa had been married 62 years....amazing! This is extrememly hard on all of our family...Mam-ma was the center of it all....but especially hard on Pa-pa. Please keep him in your prayers. He is having to learn to take care of himself now and I am sure the next few months are going to be very lonely for him! This picture is from the last time Mam-ma and Pa-pa came to visit us in Del Rio. They love it here....especially eating in Mexico!

Bryan went and got donuts last weekend and gave Addie an ENTIRE bag of donut holes...who does that? Well she decided she needed to carry them around in this blue bag....so she dumped them in there and proceeded to carry them with her all morning. There may have been a few screams and fits when I (mean mommy) took the bag away before lunch.
While in Austin this past weekend, Addie got to play with her cousin Brooklyn. She absolutely loves her. She held her...watched her eat....and played in her stroller. Brooklyn is so adorable and we loved getting to spend some time with her!
Finally, here are a few pictures from this morning. We were not doing anything special...just goofing around and I got a couple of cute ones!
