Time Away

This past weekend Matt surprised me with a night away in Fredericksburg and then we spent the day at Enchanted Rock.  It was great to be just the two of us, and we tried not to talk about Emma too much!  E-Rock was some great adventures.  We got there early in the morning and did some hiking on the trails, we did some bouldering and then we summated the top.  I think our favorite part was the caving; mostly crawl space, dark, and we were the only ones down there.  The temp was around 103, what a great day to spend out in the sun!

Emma had a great time with Jen's parents.  Of course she was excited to see was when we got home!  

Good times were had by all!

Here are a few pictures:

New Arrival

We have a new arrival in the Waller house, Emma's first tooth!  This morning Matt went in to say good bye and he saw a little tooth sticking out!  So amazing how things happen everyday when they are this age.  She does not seem to be too bothered by it all, we will see if that continues.  Emma had just spent the weekend with Gigi and Paka, we are glad she waited till we got back to show her new tooth.  More on our fun weekend trip coming soon...

1st Fathers Day

What a Dad!

Happy Fathers Day Matt, we love you!!

Plants and Flowers!

We went to work!  Matt had Monday off and so we took advantage.  It was so fun to work ALL day in the yard.  We added some plants to a much needed empty flower bed and then made some new additions to the backyard.  It looks so good and we are really excited about it.  Some plants were given to us by our neighbors and then we used the mulch from our compost we have been making, so fun!  Now all we have to do is water them and keep them alive in this summer heat.  Here are some fun pictures:

This bed was totally empty when we started (besides the bush in the middle, it got to stay).

We added this in the back, its our butterfly garden.

We made this bed around the tree, thanks Matt and Susan for the plants!

Emma's new trick

I have been trying to get a video of Emma's newest trick she is just so cute and so proud!  This is the best one that I could get so far.

And it begins!

Hmmm... what to share for our first post:

Let's start with the most obvious, Emma.  She is just so big and as precious as ever.  She is 4 months old and growing so much.  

Matt is in the second week of summer.  It is hard long days, but so good.  He feels blessed and is excited to see what the Lord does this summer.

Jen is loving being at home with Emma.  Our days are spent playing and working around our new house.  Jen has picked up sewing, mainly cute things for Emma.

And that is our life right now... here are a few pictures.

Emma loves swimming: Thanks to the Thompsons for Sunday swim days!

Our first trip to San Antonio since we moved back to Texas.
