Look what I can do!

When Morgan was 3 months she started being able to roll over to her side - I knew then that it was only a matter of time before she made it all the way over.  


And right before she turned 4 months, - she did it!  Lord help us, it won't be long before she's crawling after her big sister.  

Learning to love the mall

We hit the Woodlands mall last weekend and the girls are starting to appreciate how much fun shopping can be even at such an early age.  Mia was thrilled to go shoe shopping, which is really no big surprise since one of her first words was shoes.  She was in heaven picking out some cute pink shoes, riding on the carousel and spending time with grandmom Paula.  As for Morgan - she seems just thrilled to be hanging with the girls for the day! 

Tribute to Sam

On our way up to Oklahoma we were able to go by Sampa's grave in Okmulgee, Oklahoma.  We hadn't been there since last October and of course it was really hard going - but we were able to see his beautiful headstone with shots of him doing one of the things he loved best - tennis! Paula did an amazing job designing it and we all know Sampa would have loved it.  Lord we miss him dearly.  

Fireworks, family and many firsts

Talk about a fun fourth of July!  We packed up the Thompson family roadster and hit the road to head north to Oklahoma.  No one was looking forward to the 10 hour or so drive but once we got there it was well worth it!  We went to spend time with great granddad and grandmom Wagner (Mat's grandparents) and other family.    



We stayed with Mat's cousins on their beautiful 40 acres near a town called Grove.  Man did Mia have a blast!  She rode on a tractor for the first time and thought it was the coolest!  And of course since we were in the country we were able to shoot off as many fireworks as we liked!  Mia also got to set up fireworks with her daddy's help for the first time.  She thought they were pretty but wanted to stay far away from them - particularly the ones that made a lot of noise!  Surprisingly Morgan slept through the whole thing!  Man - what fun we had!!!!
