Here we are celebrating another August birthday! Yep, Mom's birthday is only 3 days after Sofia's. Grandma loves that her and Sofia have their special days so close together.
This year, we met Mom and Greg at a Mexican restaurant nearby to eat dinner. Then, we all headed over to our house for cake and presents.
We are so thankful and blessed to live in the same town. It's wonderful getting to share these moments together!

We had Sofia's birthday party at Chuck E. Cheese's this year. We had to have it a week early (August 7th), so everyone could make it. The hostess took care of everything, including cutting the cake. It was nice being able to visit with our friends and not having to worry about every detail. It was so much fun and Sofia had a great time! Here are some pics:

Opening presents at homeWell, here I am blogging for the first time. I was inspired by my neighborhood friend, Megan, and my college friend, Velma, to start a blog. I was so excited to find Velma's blog a few days ago and hear what is happening with her on a regular basis. Then, I realized we have so many friends and family who live far away and might want to see what is going on with us, too. So, here we are!
It's hard to believe we have been in San Antonio for a year already. We really enjoy living here and it has been an easy transition. Having my parents and Jessica close by has been wonderful. No more traveling to see them or having Jessica fly out to visit us. It has made life easier.
On the other hand, it was hard to leave my close friends and start a new chapter. The Lord has been faithful and has blessed us with great new friends here. We've met some great people in our neighborhood and at different bible studies. We even met a couple at the bookstore!
Over the next few days, I'll try and post some pictures of Sofia's recent birthday party and celebrating Mom's birthday on the 17th. I'm looking forward to seeing how this goes.
