Hudson Alan

My sweet grandson Hudson came home last  weekend to see his Bella and Pops.  Well really Brooke and Travis came in for Travis' best friends wedding.  Travis was the best man, so he and Brooke were very busy and consequently we got to watch Hudson.  Such hard work for Kirk and I -NOT!  He is an awesome baby.  He is now 10 months old.  He eats well, sleeps well, and is overall a very happy baby.  We took him to the grocery store, farmers market and just played with him all weekend.  He likes getting out and running errands with us!  We had a big dinner on Sunday night - Abbey, Justin, Brooke, Travis, and Hudson were all there. Travis grilled his famous wings and we watched the football games.  It was just such a lovely weekend.  I miss them already!

Look at that big boy eating!

Carter Mark and Finley Grace

 Kirk and I have had the grand kids now since Thursday.  We have entered into a routine - much like their routine in Oklahoma-  Breakfast, Play, Outing with Lunch, Nap, Play, Dinner, Play, Baths, and BED!  Kirk and I get  very tired as well and so enjoy the afternoon naps while the kids nap.  Honestly, it is the best time of our lives.  We do so enjoy our grand kids and they give us so much love in return.  Back to work routine on Tuesday- but until then- I have only one more hour until they are up from their naps.  I need to get mine in :}

Activities with the kids:

Library Story Time

We went to one of the Austin Public Library Toddler Story time and it was awesome

Children's Musuem- I really recommend this for all ages through elementary.  It was age appropriate for Carter and especially Finley.  It is like a giant preschool with math center, literacy center, dinosaur display, life size trains, and family center with a pretend restaurant.  There was also a room for older kids with pullys, and bolts.  My two grandkids had a wonderful time.

In the design area with giant  pulleys and gears

Math center - making patterns with Bella- always the teacher!

Nuts and Bolts with Pops

Carter love the gears

Lunch on the River

TGIF on the River

Girls Date to the Drafthouse to see Beauty and the Beast

Okay- I realize Finley has a hat and Abbey's brownie vest on- but is is Bella's house.  She looked so  cute and sat through all but the last 10 minutes of the movie.  We let her walk around as the theater was not very full.  Don't tell anyone but the draft house Lake Creek lets you bring your under 6 kids to special showings.  Abbey and I loved it!

Orange leaf twice, church today and lots of hugs and play time with Abbey and Connor.  We don't know what we would do without their help! Thanks my darlings and thanks to Luci and Jeremy for trusting us with your precious babies.  We are the blessed ones!

Hudson comes next weekend- more cuddle time!  Yipeee!!!!!

Count your Blessings,

Bella
