Today is my friend Amy's birthday, and I want to celebrate her. Amy and I have been through a lot together in the 11 years that we have been friends. God has allowed us to experience some of life's greatest thrills and sorrows. We met at a youth retreat and by the end of the weekend were both hopeful to begin a new friendship. Amy and I have been through so much together. She has watched me make stupid choices, and she has loved me through every moment. I haven't ever really watched her make stupid choices (she is very wise) but I have loved her though difficult times. Amy and I have celebrated ten of each others birthdays, first cars, first and only boyfriends, high school graduation, college graduation, engagement, marriage, and most recently children. I was so blessed to be at the hospital within hours of both Elena and Evan's births. Amy was also with me when Caroline was born. She shared in our joy and documented the whole event with her camera skills.
All in all, our friendship has blessed me beyond words. I don't know that there are very many people who have been blessed with a friendship like ours. Amy I love you, and I celebrate your life today. Happy Birthday!

Caroline is 3 Months Old
Well as of September 7, Caroline is 3 months old. She is so adorable right now. She smiles when I get her out of her crib in the morning. She loves to smile when I change her diaper, as if to say how appreciative she is. She is sleeping 8 hours at night now, but she still naps all day. She hardly ever cries and if she does, it is so that I know she is ready for bed. She is oddly like me in her desire to sleep a lot. She is holding her head up really well now, and we think she is on the verge of discovering her feet. Her hands have been a toy for over a month now. She loves to talk to herself. In the morning, I hear her on the monitor having a conversation with her mobile. She also loves to talk to the bees that spin around the top of her swing. All in all, she is wonderful. We love her so much. These are some of her 3 month pictures with her teddy bear.

Baby Weight and New Friends
Ok, so this last Monday I started walking with two girls that I have met here in Austin. I met Misty and Dawna in our childbirth class. As we got to talking we found out that we all go to the same church. When Frank and I got settled after Caroline was born, we started going to a parenting Sunday school class at church. Little did we know, Misty and Dawna and their husbands would also be in that class. So to make a long story short, Misty, Dawna, and I have become friends and are all trying to get ourselves back in shape after having babies. On Monday, I walked 3 miles, and this morning, I walked 4 miles. As most of you may know, I hate to exercise. About half way through both each of these walks, I thought I was going to pass out. I made it though. I am hoping to walk three days a week. I will let you know how it goes. Wish me luck!

Praise the Lord
MaMa's surgery went very well. She was in the hospital overnight, but everything went just as it should. She is home now and feeling very well. Thank you so much to all of you who were praying for her.
