Happy 10 Months TESS!!
You have been, and continue to be, such a happy baby. You weigh 21.5 lbs and are 29.25 inches long. You have come a LONG way since your 9 month birthday. Eating lots of solids, we took out a bottle, you're pulling up on everything and starting to crawl on your knees some, and have two BIG teeth on the bottom. Two are trying to break through up top. You go to bed at 7 and sleep until we get you basically. Usually around 730-745. You're a moveable sleeper and we will be forever grateful to you for that bc your sister is not! :). We love you with everything we have and are so glad you completed our family.
Look at these legs!!!!!!

Some things I never want to forget
Cam reading books at 16 months.
This adorable army crawl
Cameron's bed time routine. It may take 27 minutes from start to finish but we wouldn't change a thing!!
My girls playing together. Although they're supposed to be IN the playroom, the doorway will work I guess. :)
Super bowl Sunday 2015.
P-A-R-T-Y!!!
My sweet niece, London, killing it on the uneven bars last Saturday at her meet in Denton.

No Words
I've thought and thought about this post for almost two weeks now. What to say. How to say it. And the only thing that really comes to mind is the fact that I have no words. No words at all.
Last Monday, January 19th, my boss called. And on the line with her was our HR Director.
Apparently TridentUSA Mobile Clinical Services, the division I worked for, had a rough 2014 and the tough decision to eliminate positions was upon my boss. And my position was affected. In a bad way. The words, 'effective immediately, Trident has eliminated your position and terminated your benefits.'
NO WORDS.
Not only was I unemployed, but my babies had no insurance. I broke down like no other. Bawling. Out of control. Although my boss assured me it had nothing to do with my personal performance, I still felt like a failure. She said I had done her and the company a wonderful job, that she was so so sorry, but that she had no choice. She was instructed to lay people off. But she said she would write me an awesome letter of recommendation, be a strong reference, whatever it took to get me a new job.
I still had no words.
I woke up Tuesday and life did go on but I was sad. And beyond petrified to look for a new job. A brand new start. I have been very blessed over the years to have only worked for two companies since graduating college in 2001. But.....I got up, updated my resume, asked my best friends, bible study group, and family to all pray for me, and I hit the ground running.
I have absolutely no words for what went on during these last two weeks. I had friends from my gym passing my resume along, bible study women giving me phone numbers of people to call who may be hiring, I had sorority sisters rallying together to not only make me feel better but find open jobs for me......It was amazing. Unlike anything I've ever seen. By Wednesday, I had 3 interviews set.
No words. None. Nada. Zilch. He was holding my hand, giving me strength and confidence, and showing me things were going to be ok.
Now I'm humbly and happy to say Ive had one offer, 2 second round interviews with two difference companies, 1 forth round interview, and a phone interview. What an experience. My dear friend Drea said it best: 'Looking for a job is a full time job when you do it right.'
And, I couldn't agree more. Ive been busy as hell these last two weeks but I wouldn't have it any other way. I've told everyone I'm talking to that I'm looking for a new start but that I'll be there till the end. And I firmly believe that. Although extremely difficult, I'm starting to see the silver lining with this lay off and know God has great things in store for me.
Tess has been a little under the weather lately, and of course, the night before my fourth round of interviews with Grace Health, T starts running a fever. Perfect. What to do?!?!? I can't cancel!! So, I call my friend Katie, who doesn't work, to see if she could keep Tess for me for a few hours and I'll be damned if that angel wasn't on my doorstep at 830 AM the next morning. Not only was she available but she was on time and ELATED to be in the presence of my baby. Which made me feel so good and thankful for good friends.
No words.
Her kids are 7 and 9 or 8 and 10 so she is ALL about a baby right now. Thanks KT for being a major life saver!!!! I will owe you for life!!! Here are some pics she took while keeping her. So precious!!!
Mom had to come the next day bc she was still running a low grade fever and I had interviews. After my first one I decided to take her to doc just to make sure it wasn't RSV or flu and it wasn't thank goodness!! While there I took this video ....You would never have known she was sick. Bless her... Such a happy happy baby. Thanks for your help mom!!!!!
And, last but certainly not least: this man is my rock. He's been my biggest fan and supporter through all of this and I would never be able to tackle this huge life changing event without him beside me. I have no words for how much I love this man.
Cheers,
Lindley

FUMC Infant Cebration
I could just cry I love our church so much. Last Sunday, there was only 1 service. There are normally 5. You can only imagine how powerful that hour was. They do this every once in a while just to bring everyone together and remember our purpose for being there and to remind us all that we are one family. Regardless how many services are offered. And to top it all off, they chose last Sunday to recognize all the babies born in 2014 with their very first bible. Melt.My.Heart. My folks, sis and family, In-Laws, and Trent and Kelly were all there and it was perfect. What a great day!
Getting ready for church Sunday morning. T was super excited to see everyone!!! :)
We all went and ate at Stella's afterwards. Hello Mini Brian Herring!!!

Palmer, swimming, and snowmen
Ok so Bridget never posts pic of her baby on social media so I will on my blog!! I mean... How cute is this muffin?!?!?? I need to see him again. Soon!
When she sent this one over she captioned it with, 'hey, would it be cool if Brian and I just hung out and watched football all day?' Hands in the pants and all. Hahahaha!! Love it!!!
I mean... I can't. Those cheeks!!
Cam started back weekly swimming lessons at Tech this week and is in heaven!! Amber is her favorite and I was told she wasn't teaching anymore due to her new full time job but I wasn't taking no for an answer. I texted her right on up and sure enough, she's teaching on Tuesday nights! Hallelujah!!!!! We tried lessons at the club this past summer and she was NOT having it so we are elated Amber had some room in her schedule for Cameron.
Reunited and it feels so good!!!
We have gotten like 4 inches of snow and it's beautiful!! And, we built our first ever snowman yesterday. Uumm.... Pretty sure that will be my last for a while. Im sore today!! Ha! Building one of those suckers is no joke! Hard work, to say the least.
These were take early in the morning yesterday, and it snowed pretty much all day.
This was great packing snow!

REK and Tess is away
Last Thursday night us, the Warshaw's, and Team Cooper all went to see Robert Earl Keen at Cactus Theater and he put on a damn good show!!! I so busted out my boots and pearl snap. Didn't snap a pic of my shirt but did get the boots. Thank you to an ex-boyfriend back from 2004 I've got pretty fly sh*t-kickers. Unfortunately, my feet have grown a half size since having my babies so my mother is now the new proud owner of these gems. It's quite ironic because Jake was her LEAST favorite boyfriend of mine but she said, 'hey, at least he's got good taste.' Hahaha!!!
Mom was in LBB yesterday and decided to take this little home with her for a few days.
Playing at Grammy's and having a fabulous time!!!
Leaving only this little at home with mommy and daddy.
She and her daddy have a movie date today to see the paddington bear movie which is a British film that looks adorable!!!!!
Notice the British accent. Haha!!
Cheers,
Lindley
