It took you how long to register?

Am I the only one who spent 5 hours in Babies R Us and still had changes to make and items to add to my registry? My mom, mother-in-law, and I got started at 11:15 a.m., took a 30 minute lunch break at 2:00 p.m., and finished at 5:00 p.m. When we went to lunch we had only made it through the Infant Care section of store. I can only imagine how long it would have taken if I hadn't done any research. My feet were killing me and my back was in need of a massage. Here are the pictures from the big day.

Ladies Lunch

Wednesday my mother-in-law invited the ladies in the family to La Madeline for lunch to begin the celebration of our baby boy. Here are a couple of pictures from lunch.

Uncle Derek's Weekend Home

So my brother came in town this past weekend. He was planning on taking dad golfing for father's day, but those plans changed shortly after the events of last week. Stephen was out of town, so I spent most of my time hanging out with my family. Derek and I went and saw "The Proposal" on Friday. This was Cole's first trip to a chick flick. On Saturday we managed to get my dad down to Kemah. We ate dinner at Landry's and then had yogurt (not ice cream) at Marble Slab. Here are some pics of the family from the weekend.

Crazy week!

Well as some of you know, my dad had a heart attack on Monday night. He had a stent put in on Tuesday and was resting at home by Wednesday afternoon. He seems to be doing well now, but is hesitant to leave the house (rightly so). Continue to pray for him to have the strength to quit smoking. He hasn't had a cigarette since Monday evening and doesn't really plan on it. He is also having to watch his diet, so he is definitely not at his best. He is having to give up a lot, but he knows that it will be worth it.

On a lighter note, mom and I bought Cole's furniture and bedding yesterday. We had our eye on a furniture set that was on sale at Babies R Us. The furniture should be in sometime in the next two weeks and the bedding was ordered online and should hopefully be here by next weekend. Stephen would like to start painting the nursery next weekend, so hopefully we will have the bedding so we can go pick out some paint.

Here is a picture of what we picked out. I was really leaning toward a more modern, geometrical print, but Stephen and I both really liked the nautical theme and I think the one we selected will be super cute. Don't worry...we didn't buy everything in the picture. They really like to cram all the accesories into one shot.
