Q at 5 months
We drove to Houston for our annual crawfish weekend the first of May. It was a long trip, but she did really good for the most part. I know in a couple of years she will be right in there with us peeling and eating the crawfish. We love this time we spend with the Garretts each year and it was even better this time because Q got to be a part of it all!
I celebrated my 33rd birthday on May 5th. Sutton surprised me with beautiful flowers even though he had to be out of town that day. Q surprised me by rolling from back to tummy for the first time. Unfortunately I missed it because I was at work, but I got to see her do it again when I got home and now she rolls all over the place. Q and I went home to see my parents later in the week and we enjoyed shopping with my mom on Friday.
We enjoyed drinks and dinner with our friends to celebrate my birthday that same weekend.
Q with our dear friend Wynell who helped watch Q while her normal sitter was in class on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Wynell was a true blessing to us and she helped ease my transition back to work.
A cute pic I took of Q to put on our Mother's Day cards.
Papa came through town on Mother's Day and treated us to lunch at the Grill. We loved getting to catch up with him!
Q and I went to Aggie Happy Hour and I enjoyed getting to catch up with sweet Nancy Lane. Nancy was in the girls Bible study group that we had at my house in 2006. Those girls blessed my life more than they will ever know and I love that we all still stay in touch (thank goodness for Facebook!). This was Q's first time to meet Nancy. I am so proud of Nancy- She will graduate from Texas A&M in December and she is an amazing young woman!
I love that we share this bond- I am class of 1999 and Nancy is class of 2010!
Q and I went to Yoakum for my niece's confirm-ation. I cannot believe Emily June is already 14- I am so proud of her for confirming her faith in Jesus Christ. She is growing up to be a beautiful lady- inside and out!
Here is a picture of my family that was able to make it in for the weekend. Judith and her boys came through SA to pick us up since both of our husbands were busy farming. It was so much fun traveling together!
A cute one of John Thomas and Q. He and Laurel were a big help in entertaining Q...I can't believe they just celebrated their 10th birthday- It feels like just yesterday they were this size!
On May 25th we welcomed a new neighbor, Miss Josie Kristine Chesser. I know she and Q are going to be the best of friends and I can already see them playing under the shade tree between our houses. We have been so blessed to have this family next door to us.
Q started rice cereal the week before her 6 month birthday and she did great! I think I am glad I waited so long because the transition was very smooth and she was truly ready. She is still nursing twice a day and takes a bottle twice a day when I am at work. We enjoyed having my sister, Ingrid, and niece, Laurel, come for a quick visit the last week of May. Laurel helped Sutton watch Quincy while Ingrid and I went to see Sex and the City 2 on opening night. We had so much fun I forgot to take pictures!
We went to cousin Garrett's high school graduation in Eldorado at the end of the month and enjoyed seeing the Lux side of the family.
Just a few of the Lux cousins
Q with her cousin, Corrie
While we were in Eldo, we got to check the crops with Sutton. Daddy has been busy and we enjoyed getting to see all of his hard work. This was Q's first time to check crops with Sutton and I know this will be something they love to do together in the future.
She was so amazed by the heads on the wheat. I know Sutton can't wait for her to be old enough to ride on the tractor with him. 
Q is a great sleeper and typically sleeps 7-7 now. We have established a nice bedtime routine that makes putting her down much easier since she knows what to expect. I took this sweet picture of Sutton reading her Good Night Moon one evening when we were getting ready to put her down. I am trying to soak up each precious moment and I don't want to forget a thing!
