My lovely co-worker (from my now former job) was out on a very well deserved holiday for 3 weeks and it was busy, busy, busy for me and BJ. Let me tell you how much I appreciate Gracie: All the way to the moon. And back...I am extremely blessed to have her and a friend and was blessed to have her as a co-worker! Love you sugar. Plus, she's southern and she just gets it.
We also had Lincoln's 6 month's photographs taken! Can you believe it has been 6 months since 24 April? Dear Sweet Baby Ray's. 6 month's since he was this small. Our peanut is now 17 lbs and over 23 inches long. He's come such a long way. And he's finally getting teef-ers! I see them barely poking through and seem kinda stuck there. I am sure they are growing but I try to look at them every day so it seems like nothing is happening. I'm impatient yet don't want him to grow up.

....I digressed....back to Lincoln's photographs. The ever lovely Ms. Julia Raymond took his photographs and she is just beyond talented. Such a sweet, bright and intellengent young lady. She also just had a birthday a few days ago, happy birthday Julia! Again, I digress. Anyway, we went to the Wichita Falls Nature Preserve and took pictures in the Pumpkin Patches, behind an antique general store and in a covered wagon. So stinking cute. So, if you live in (or near Wichita Falls) please give Julia a call for photos (family, maternity, ect)--she truly is a gem. And I don't get anything for referring her. She is just a good friend that happens to be very talented with a camera.
Then, Lincoln and I decided to make a trip out to Dallas (well, my sissy WAS coming into town town and it WAS my Godson's birthday after all!). After my last week at work we hung out and vegged out (okay, Lincoln vegged out, I cleaned and organized) for a few days and then we headed towards Dallas. Now, the drive to Dallas usually takes 3.5 hours. When we drive with Licnoln about 4. Well...this last time it took us 5 hours! Why, do you ask? Let me start off by telling you how Linc likes to drink his bottle. Lincoln likes his bottle to be very warm and to have me hold him while rocking in the rocking chair. My fault? Yes. Do I dislike it? Only when we travel or want to go out to eat. So, ooor little man was hungry but refusing to eat because it wasn't what he was used to. Frustrating but we made it in one piece. Which was the point, right? We are still in Dallas (the original plan was to leave to Monday but with all the storms in Altus and Dallas we decided to stay an extra 2 days) and enjoying spending time with the family!
Speaking of family...guess what: Husband is finally coming home soon! He's been deployed for 3 months (4.5 if you count all the pre-deployment trainings). Deployments are tough. But do-able. I won't get much into it here because I'll write a post about my experience with deployments. But yes, I am just so happy I could burst! Being sans Husband is not fun and I just really want to give him a big squeeze. Can't help it, being away from the one you love is not cool. At all.
But now that means I have to start planning good food menus from now on...
All I have to say to that is thank goodness for pinterest! Maybe I'll make him something bacon-y...mmmmn
