Baby Watson

So for all of you that haven't heard yet...Ben and I are expecting our first baby!! We just found out on Sunday that there's a little bun in my oven :)

If you're interested in following our journey through pregnancy, we started a blog: www.baby-watson.blogspot.com **warning, there might be GIRLY stuff in there!** haha.

We are extremely excited and thankful for this wonderful blessing!

Love you all,

AW

*UPDATE: For those of you that haven't checked the Baby Watson blog, we had a miscarriage unfortunately.  But not to worry, God has big plans for us, so we know there's plenty of Baby Watson's in the future!*

SNOW?!

Christmas time in Houston means sunny skies, warm days and cool nights. Out of the 26 years that I've lived here, it has snowed...and by snow I mean flurries that never stick...maybe 4 times that I can remember. Last night we got a cold surprise of 4 inches of white, fluffy snow the likes of which this city has never, ever seen. It blanketed everything and delighted everyone. Sophie...our bratty-beagle-baby...got to step out in snow for the first time in her year of existence :) and she LOVED it! As the snowflakes made their way to down to the ground, Sophie would try to snatch them out of the air...when she realized that she could eat them, she started licking and biting the ground! Afterwhich she proceeded to do her Beagle-thing and dig as if her life depended on it. Who would have thought our little girl would enjoy snow so much??

After spending a warm, cuddly night knowing that it was snowing outside (somehow you sleep better!) we woke up to most of the snow melted already. Our stairs heading down from our home however, were still snowy and quite slippery. So what does my darling husband do?? Gets up extra early, grabs the broom (its not like we have a snow shovel or anything!) and starts clearing the way for me! THEN he grabs my keys and not only starts the car to warm it up for me, but turns on the SEAT WARMERS so that my bottom wouldn't freeze! Is that an amazing husband or what??? You've earned major brownie points with my babe!

Of course the day after the snow, when all of Houston is supposed to head to work, things didn't go so smoothly. Wreck after wreck, along with closed bridges and highways, does not make the commute easy. I'm surprised all of Houston didn't shut down from shock.

Here's to a snowy December day. We should be back in the 70's in a couple of days.

It's a Smiley World

I must apologize, I've been really bad about posting lately...I think I'll blame it on the busy-ness of the holiday season. 

Awhile back, we were able to go and visit my brother and his beautiful wife and sweet little daughter in Northern Virginia.  We had such a great time hanging out and getting to know our little niece.  To celebrate our good times with them, we of course did what we do best...shot our little hearts out.  So we have plenty of pictures of the Smiley family to show the world!  And since little Addy is so special to us, she gets her own post tomorrow :)

Brother, Adri, Addy--we love you guys so much and we miiiisssss you!!!  Hope you like your pictures and we have plenty more where these came from.  Hugs all around!
