A Very Busy Week...

On Wednesday, February 2nd, Miss Zoey Daniella Almon made her entrance into the world! Travis and I are the proud Aunt and Uncle to a little 6lb, 1oz little peanut. She is super precious and we are very excited for the new parents. Since Travis has been on antibiotics, he hasn't gotten the chance to see her yet, but we are hoping in the next few days... we wouldn't want her to catch anything. Craig and Ligia were able to bring Zoey home from the hospital last night and are getting settled into the new world of parenthood and lack of sleep.

This past week has been freezing... literally. Temperatures (on some days) did not get above freezing. This of course means that Travis' job has been crazy hectic with long hours and non-stop scheduling. The Houston weathermen were predicting Friday to be a snow day (this being our "Winter Storm 2011"), so Houston began shutting down Thursday. Since Travis had to be at work on Friday, Direct put him in the Renaissance hotel for the night to ensure he would be able to safely make it in. Houston didn't see any snow, but we did get a lot of ice. I went into work late once the roads began thawing out. It took nearly 20 minutes to get the ice to melt off my car! Today was back in the 60's, so it's been a nice change from the cold temperatures.

Today, Aunt Sharon and Aunt Sara hosted a baby shower for me! It was a wonderful shower and we are so lucky to have so many wonderful family and friends to help us celebrate Blair's impending arrival. Here are just some of the pictures from the shower... thank you to everyone that came - especially those from out of town!

Tomorrow Travis and I plan to do more work on Blair's room... mostly the finishing touches (like hanging pictures). Once we get done, I will post pictures of her beautiful nursery!
