Today is the day that Jeff came home to see us! It was a very exciting day for all of us! I let the kids stay up until he got home! It was so cute to see how excited Ian and Hazel were to see Daddy! It is going to be the LONGEST 6+ weeks of our lives!

This is the day we have all been dreading! Jeff starts his new job bright and early tomorrow morning! So today was the day we had to say goodbye! He is staying with friends in Georgetown! Ian helped Daddy pack his bags, clean out the car, load the car up, and even helped him close the door when he got in. Here Ian is waving "bye-bye" to Daddy! We were all very sad, but Daddy promised to come back every weekend! My mom is coming during the middle of the week to help me out with the kids! Here's to the start of a (hopefully) wonderful, new adventure!

While in the area, we stayed with Jillian and her parents. So, naturally, we went swimming in their pool! This is Ian attempting to jump in the pool into Daddy's arms. He loves to swim, but is still timid about jumping in.

We had some college friends over for a cook out and here are the guys helping out with the grilling. How many does it take to grill the meat?! haha!

My parents went to Hawaii and brought us back t-shirts and necklaces. Here are Ian and Jeff in their Hawaii shirts and cool tree nut necklaces!

This is Hazel's new thing. I knew she was a flexible baby, but dang! She loves doing the splits and it doesn't seem to bother her at all! I think we have a future gymnast on our hands!

I know I probably have a million of these pictures on here, but I cannot get enough of Jeff reading Bible stories to the kids!

Here we are in Austin again looking at houses. Actually, we are in the cute little town of Hutto! The first offer we put in for a house was lost to someone else. This time we come in with a plan! We will hopefully find a house AND have a back up if something happens! Fingers crossed!

Today Hazel and I came and ate lunch with Daddy at work. It was a nice day so we ate outside on the balcony. Hazel had a great time and was very glad to see Daddy. It was still really weird not having Ian with us.

We went for a family (minus one) walk this evening. It was really weird not having Ian with us. We miss him, but know he is getting spoiled by Gigi and Gpa.

We have had a full weekend and a full house! My parents were here early this weekend watching Ian while we went down to Austin, then my Dad left and my sister and her boyfriend came up to go to a concert. Now my mom left with Ian and Victoria and Marcus are still here. So we all went out to lunch with Dana, JR and all the kids. Here is Jeff and JR with their baby girls...what goof balls!

Bedtime at the Lamoureux house! Ian insisted that Gigi read the story even though Daddy always reads the Bible story. It was a fidgety, unfocused story time, but we made it through! One guess what story we had to read! 

Here we are, in Waco, heading down to the Austin area to GO LOOK AT HOUSES!! YAY! Jeff got a new job, we are approved to buy a house and now we just have to find one! We were getting tired so we let Hazel take over driving for a while.

This morning we woke up to an infestation of FIRE ANTS in our room. Jeff was out of the house, to Home Depot and back before 7:30AM. You've seen those crazy ant exterminator commercials, right? He takes it BEYOND that....makes for hilarious pictures though!

Yes, its Forth of July. Yes, we have matching shirts as a family. Yes, I made them. YES I used a sewing machine, and yes, this was the best picture we could get of the whole family! Happy Forth of July!

Again, like most pictures of Jeff and the kids...I have no idea what is going on here, but they seem to be having fun!

This was the WORST day of my mommy career! Long story short is that it ended with a mandatory date night and late night grocery shopping. It helps to have a good lookin' grocery shopping companion! :)

I am not really sure what is going on here. All I really know is that Hazel and Daddy were playing and both were having a great time...right before bed time...greeeeaaattt!

I guess this is how Daddy and Ian "play" Note the hat that Ian and put on Jeff and the blocks that are lined up on his chest. I'm so glad Jeff is so involved in playing here!
