Coming Soon

In April there will be an addition to the Hewitt family! We have been praying for the Lord to bless us with another little one and are so excited to find that Lord willing we will have a healthy baby around April 11th. :)

Sorry for the lack of posts lately. I have been tired and staging a one woman rebellion toward blogging. I do that sometimes. :) So I've decided to change my ways and post some pictures. The first ones are of Annie playing with bubbles that her aunt Katie got her. The next ones are of her in an old t-shirt of mine. Doesn't she look so cute?

A few pictures from our trip to Kansas

We spent the weekend on a support trip visiting friends up in Kansas. It was so nice to see our friend Julie again! The trip went very well and Annie even endured the 9 hour car ride better than we expected. :)
At the coffee shop where Julie works. It was such a neat place with lots of room and interesting decor. I told Julie she needs to start one in Dallas.
A little boy there fell in love with Annie.

Play Time!

We had the opportunity to watch one of Annie's friends last week while her mommy went to the dentist. It was so fun to have another little girl around! Here are a few pictures from little Ava's visit. PS. the string you see is from Annie's birthday balloon.Annie enjoyed playing with Ava.
I wonder if Annie is applauding Ava's standing abilities. Annie just started "walking" around hanging onto the furniture, while Ava is a full blown walker!
Sweet girl!
Annie would follow Ava around and try to do the same things she did. Maybe she will try walking now!
"My mom has these really cool things inside - sometimes she opens the door and lets me look!"

Pictures from Annie's Birthday Party

One Whole Year!

Happy Birthday Annie! It's hard to believe a whole year has gone by...Mommy and Daddy are so happy we have you and love you very much!

4th of July

I don't have pictures because I was a slacker during Independence Day and refused to take any. We did have a wonderful day, though! We decided to watch fireworks the night before since we had planned to visit some friends 4th of July evening. I think it was the best firework show we've ever seen! They were real close and spectacularly arranged. (don't ever ask me to write ads, you'll just end up with bad descriptions like that one) There was music playing as well to go with the light show. Annie loved them! We were nervous she would cry, but after we told her how fun it was she decided she liked them and would clap. Josh said her jaw dropped open when the show first started and one could hear little sighs of delight coming from her open mouth. Too cute...

We had family and friends over the next day for a BBQ starring Josh's new grill. It makes the best grill marks ever - and the meat turns out just right! We played some games and watched our entertainment (Annie). After all the excitement we didn't go to the party that night after all. Hey we're old married people now - we can use that excuse!

Hope your celebrations were memorable.

All Dressed Up for Church

The Felling of a Tree

...Really just it's branches. The storm I posted about previously caused our tree in the front yard to split. Josh spent the weekend cutting the branches up and bundling them on the curb. We sure appreciated our neighbor's help and chain saw. It would have taken Josh a week if he just used his little saw. We're set with firewood now!

Ghost Stories and Stuffed Animals

We had a massive thunderstorm blow through on Wednesday which included our power going out. Annie found the flashlight intriguing and played with it until bedtime. It looks like she is trying to share a ghost story.


Annie loves stuffed animals. This morning after I picked her up from her crib she insisted on carrying these two around wherever she went.
