Some of what we've been up to

Many of you have graciously asked for an update on Brooklyn... all I can report is that she has become quite a mover and a shaker. :) She's still pretty little, but she can kick/punch like a big kid. Which makes me smile. I tell her to work those little bones and muscles as much as she wants! We see the specialist tomorrow morning, so please be praying for that appointment to go well. I will report on it tomorrow, so stay tuned for that... hopefully I'll have lots of great news to share! I can't wait to see her again on the screen. I think it will do my heart some good, so I am thankful to have this new doc who does sonograms with the visits each time!

Didn't want to post without pics, so here are a few from the last two weeks. First, David and I celebrated 5 years of blissful marriage :) on Aug 2. We dropped R in the metroplex and went on a babymoon/anniversary trip. It was fabulous.
And although it would seem as if we are eating at a cafe right on the canal in Venice, we actually went to Vegas. This is not the hotel we stayed at, although we loved our hotel. But this was our favorite. The Venetian has the canals with gondolas going through it and everything! It is like you are outside, but with air conditioning. Lovely. Sorry for the dumb pic of me that David took, but I wanted to show how cool our lunch was that day.

We took a grand total of 5 pics while we were there. Amazing. But we had tons of fun together. Here is another slot machine that stole our money. But it was David's favorite because he got to play cards with Kenny Rogers. (it was a machine called The Gambler.)
We spent a recent evening with our dear friends the Isbells. Did some dining, and the kids did some dancing outside the restaurant to the music! :) They were twirling.
The weather was great that night, so we went to a new outdoor mall/town square place near here for ice cream.
Reagan anxiously awaiting her dessert.
First time with Marble Slab... yummy!

There was a big grassy area with live music, so the kids got to run around and wear themselves out.
Another first for R... getting a balloon and wearing it on her wrist. She did great with it, but Daddy lost it when putting her in the car to leave. Bummer.
UpsideDown Fun with Uncle Scott!
Also, went to see the allergy specialist for R to get her officially checked out for the whole peanut thing. The appt was GREAT... the office and doctor were VERY kid friendly. This is what she did while I got details from the doctor. :)
We don't get results on her blood work for a week or so. Man, was that ever a WHIPPIN to deal with getting blood work done on my sweet 2 year old. We got it done on the 3rd try... the second day. It was awful. But we survived. She still has the "owee" on her elbow with the bruises from where the ladies were DIGGING in her arm with the needles. Oh. My. Word. Mommy wanted to give R and herself a trophy after surviving all of that!!!!

More later!!! I have lots of pics, so hopefully will have lots of posts in the next week!
