Ok, 6 weeks ago Reese had to get a DOC Band to correct her misshapen head (flat head) due to spending too much time in her bouncy seat or swing because of her acid reflux. Since that day, we have been asked the strangest questions as to why she has a "helmet" on her head!!! Most people will either stare because they don't want to offend us by asking, or they will say something like "do you mind me asking what is wrong with her, or why she has to wear the helmet?" My personal favorite, was when we went down to Groves to see Justin's family. We were at a church pot luck dinner and someone came up to us and proceeded to ask this question (keep in mind he was dead serious)... "Now do you put that helmet on her head when you put her in her carrier because you are afraid you might drop her?" WHAT? I guess I would rather people ask than just assume something is really wrong. Anyway, we went to the craniologist last week and it looks like she has about 6 more weeks in her band. I have to say, she wears her band well, but we are excited for the day that we are all done. Here is one of my favorite pictures of her in her band.

It's not a helmet!
Two posts in one day... I know, can you believe it? (that's for you mom)

The 3 Amigos
We went to my grandmother's in East Texas on the 4th to celebrate her 93rd birthday! A bunch of the family ended up coming and it was so much fun to see everyone. When I was a little girl, I wanted my sister (who is 3 years older than me) and I to be twins soooo bad. In fact, I think we both liked that idea at some point or another. Since we are not twins, nor do twins run in our family, I will have to settle for the next best thing... cousins, all within 2 years of one another! And thankfully, Mimi (aka my mom) loves to dress them alike!!! YAY for matching outfits. So, without further adu, I give you the three amigos! (and a few other pics)

The Wonderful World of Blogging
Well, I finally broke down and joined the wonderful world of blogging. I have actually wanted to do this for a while, but I have to be honest, it all seems a bit overwhelming to me. Although there are many days that I feel like my life would make a great sitcom, I doubt my creativity. That being said, I will try not to disappoint. So, happy reading.
