Christmas

We had a great time at Christmas this year!
We got to go spend some time with our family in Houston. Sophie made friends with the dogs out on the property, and now anytime she even hears a dog bark, she gets really excited.
Christmas morning was pretty low key, but Sophie seemed to enjoy herself, expecially when Dustan started putting the wrapping paper from his gifts over her head and they played peek-a-boo for about 10 minutes straight:).
Christmas with my folks was great! We got to spend time with Sophie's 4 1/2 cousins (Julie's little one isn't quite here yet).
Food as always was wonderful and I wouldn't trade the time with family for anything.
The New Year has come and I can't wait to see what 2011 brings-
Love you guys

So I lost access to this account for a awhile. Not remembering which email account you have things under can really cause a problem. :).. Anyway we are doing fine---day by day. Sophie will be 6 months old in a few days (crazy). Football season is closer to being done than just starting, and that means I might just get my husband back for a awhile, that's something to smile about.
I love you guys and God bless those that read this.

Friends are great!

Friends came to visit us in Dallas this weekend and we got to spend what seemed like too short a time with them.

Hans, Courtney and Ethan were awesome to see, and I hope we get to do it again soon! love you guys-

First trip to Houston

So... this last weekend was our first "big" trip with Sophie. We went down to Houston to visit family and friends. It was a great trip. I was a little worried about how Sophie would travel for such a long ride. She was a trooper! She slept most of the way, and after she ate on the rode we were almost there so she stayed up for most of the trip after that. We stayed with some friends, and got to see lots of family for the first time since Sophie was born. Sophie slept just like she would have at home (naps during the day were a little harder). We were gone Thursday through Saturday, and when we got home she was sooo tired! She slept straight through from 10:00 pm to 6:30 am. AMAZING! We got back on schedule on Sunday and ready for Day-care on Monday. Thanks to everyone that made this trip happen...

Sophie Sophie Sophie

So that's what goes through my head 24 hours a day. Even as I sleep my dreams are about Sophie. (At least I am dreaming again:)).
I have to say... last night I got 7.5 hours of sleep straight. I woke up quite confused, and couldn't figure out why my clock said 5:58am. I had gone to bed a little after 10:00 and Dustan feed her around 12:30 without waking me up. She then slept for 5.5 hours without waking up(crazy).
I am so grateful for the sleep, but I don't want to get my hopes up that it might happen again tonight. (but if it did that would be awesome!)
She's 2 months and 2 weeks old, and she is doing great! Eating, sleeping, playing, and pooping. All the things a baby should be doing. I really am falling more in love with her each day.

4 weeks old

Sophie is 4 weeks old. It's hard to believe that it's been a month. The time has flown by. We are figuring each other ouit slowly but surely. A big thanks goes out to all the family and friends that have kept us in your thoughts and prayers. Love you

She is here

Sophie Marie Thrift was born on April 24 2010. 8 lbs 3 oz @ 10:04 pm. She is awesome, and the Lord is even cooler for giving her to us to take care of.
