We've been living in Brenham for a little over two weeks now and for the most part we have all adjusted well. We are missing our old routine and friends but we've been having some fun new adventures. If our house would hurry up and sell so we could start looking for a new one I would be feeling pretty good. Unfortunately it's not which is very stressful and Adam's hour and half commute every day is wearing us down, we are really missing having Daddy around! Jackson has become like a third arm and doesn't want me to go anywhere without him, I think I'm the only thing that hasn't changed so he is clinging to me for dear life. Hopefully Grammy and Pawpaw don't get sick of us anytime soon because it looks we are going to be here for a while.
Don't get me wrong we are having a great time living with Grammy and Pawpaw out in the country with the cows and the chickens! Jackson goes on golf cart rides every day and checks on the cows and the chickens and has made several appearances at happy hour. I think he has really enjoyed how large his yard has gotten, if I would let him he would spend every waking hour running around the pasture with the dogs and the cows. Here are some pictures from our country living...
We discovered that HEB is a way better grocery store and has awesome carts!
We went to Aggie Family Night and got to ride the Antique Carousel
Grammy was so kind to ride the train with Jackson!
I had fun swinging with my Dad when he got there
I got some new rubber boots to go stomping around in the country
Jack likes wearing his boots all the time
Trying out his boots in a puddle
Afternoon golf cart ride with Mom waiting for Dad to get home
We fed the "horsey" some corn and lettuce, Jack loved it!
Grammy got Jack some new shoes and he is obsessed, he either requests the rubber boots or these new nikes in the morning
Helping Dad give Trigger a bath
Jackson's set up under the nice big trees, he has got it good here
Having fun with the water hose
He thought it was pretty fun when Hunter joined him in the pool
pushing his dump truck around the yard
Getting his spa treatment after bath time with Grammy
Besides hanging out in the country we have also gotten the opportunity to catch up with friends we haven't gotten to see in a while. Jack and I went to College Station last week and had lunch with Pamela and we also got to attend her baby shower this past weekend. It has nice getting to see Pamela twice in one week, that hasn't happened in a long time! Mike and Michelle were kind enough to invite us over for a delicious BBQ one Saturday afternoon. We've really enjoyed seeing all these people we missed so much!
Avery and Jackson having fun at the BBQ
We've been fortunate that Josh and Lindsey live in the Sugar Land area and they've been allowing us to stay with them once a week. Jack and I get everything packed up and head to Sugar Land and have lots of fun hanging out with Lindsey and Walker while we wait on Daddy to come home. It's wonderful to have Adam's commute cut down and actually get to spend some time with him at night. We are also enjoying all the fun time we've been getting hanging out with the Woods Family. Here are some pictures from our adventures with them...
Before we went to see the Woods, we went to the Woodlands with Cousins, Jackson and Emily had a blast on the Carousel
So did Katy and Travis
He really loves riding on the horsey!
We went to an awesome indoor playground, Jackson however was scared, like I said he is attached to me lately, that's Walker behind him happily climbing up while Jackson cried for me to get him down
Walker giving Jackson hugs before we went home
Doing some coloring with Walker last Thursday
Giving his cousin a ride in his favorite toy at Walker's house
The next visit we tried out Inflatable Katy, I thought for sure Jackson would love this he always plays in them at Birthday parties, I was wrong I had to climb all over those things trying to get him to play, here we are trying to convince him to go down the slide
Mom had to go down with him!
Meanwhile fearless Walker has no issue
Jackson was more into the snacks and trying to escape out the front door
I'm so glad we are getting a chance to spend some time with Josh, Lindsey and Walker. Jackson and Walker are becoming great friends when they aren't trying to steal each others toys. We've really enjoyed exploring the area where we will be living hopefully very soon!
We are a thankful bunch, thankful we have wonderful family that has taken us in and been so generous, thankful for Josh and Lindsey letting us stay to help with the commute, Thankful for all the help from family and friends. I asks for your prayers as we try to get our house sold, I know God has a plan and I am trying my hardest to put my trust in him and know that he has a plan for us. Adam's new job is going great and he seems to be enjoying it, we are very thankful for Adam's new job! I'll try to keep you updated with our happenings! Have a great week!
