The last of the random July photos that have to be documented! 

Jason being an awesome Daddy while I was big and pregnant! (He always is but more so then) 

Surprise birthday dinner for Drew! 

Front yard fun 

Isn't this the sweetest? Main street walking after the splash pad and then headed for Kawaii Ice! 

HOTT this day for sure! 

Checking out the plants at Home Depot 

Figured out how to get out of her zip pajamas! 

Buying fresh Texas peaches! 

Dress like a cow day at Chick Fil A! You get free food! It was great. 

Jason went for all 3 meals (eye roll). 

Cutest cows I've seen! 

One of our final Austin date nights to a place I'd been dying to try: Clark's Oyster Bar! We went for the famous burger (ironically) but did get some grilled oysters too that were great! 

Those fries were OUTSTANDING. Probably the best fries and burger I've ever had. 

Then we went to Bribery Bakery for dessert after dinner and it was a great night! 

Nora claimed these chips for herself. And also wanted to eat them right then I guess?

Prego belly! This is about 2 weeks before. 

Nora's Sunday Best! 

Nora in a basket! 

Loved these cute photos of her outside! Such happiness! 

Then Daddy came home and they were looking at airplanes

Love her hair and this dress for summer was so so cute! 

Having a tea party! 

So silly! Trying on Daddy's shoes

Ice cream date!

Last day at Blue Hole with the Cavanaughs! We went with them the year before too. Good memories

My model girl! Isn't she gorgeous?!

Such happiness! July 28- This was our last day together just the two of us before I had the baby the next day! Good memories. Love you sweet Nora- you will always be my first baby! 

IVF Fest

It's not something we have really ever publicly announced but we went to a fertility center in Austin to help us have both our beautiful girls! We love Texas Fertility Center and Dr. Hansard and are grateful to them for helping us on a long trying journey that brought us our greatest blessings.

Please feel free to talk to Jason and me about IVF or fertility or anything really- we are open books these days but originally kept things private when we didn't know how our life would turn out. We know how hard the infertility journey can be and it's so important to have support along the way so seriously call, text, email or find us if you need help navigating! We will do our best. :)

Anyways, every year the fertility center hosts a Baby Reunion for all the patients (us) to bring our babies (Nora) to see the doctors and nurses. It's a big big party and so fun to go. It literally brings tears to my eyes to see so many families, kids and pregnant women happy on a beautiful day. How amazing is technology these days that we can have babies despite lots of obstacles? So cool! Anyways, they had snacks, a bounce house, snow cones, a petting zoo, balloon animals, photo ops, and tons of toys etc. It's just a fun day at a beautiful Austin ranch to celebrate our family! It was fun returning this year pregnant again! Sadly, we didn't get a photo op with our doctor because she was in emergency surgery the whole day and missed the party but I'm glad she was there for whomever needed her.

Thanks TFC- we love you! 

 Just lounging around
