Hey everyone! I can't believe Journey has already been here a month! It has been the hardest and most rewarding month for Drew and I. We are so proud to be parents to our perfect little angel! She has been quite a busy girl since she was born. Listed below are a few of the highlights of the past month.....
*She got to meet a ton of family and friends
*She has already been to the Marshals office and the OSBI
*She had her first trip out of state
*She traveled 7 hours to Hannibal, MO to meet uncle Taylor
*She saw her first fireworks show
*She went to her first cave in Hannibal (home of Tom Sawyer...and they are very proud of it!)
*She went to her first baseball game
*She stayed in her first hotel
*She went to the lake for the first time
*She has had two photo sessions (she did not cooperate at the first one)
*She has been to two unsuccessful Wal-Mart trips (Target she does fine...strange)
*She went to 3 full days of Cheer Camp and LOVED it....a little cheerleader in the making I am sure :)
*She had lunch with Aunt Sarah, Cousin Connor and Adi in Edmond
*Gigi and Pops babysat her for a few hours while Drew and I had some us time :)
*She acquired a nickname "Junebug"
AND MOMS FAVORITE FIRST........Journey slept from 11pm to 5am....only one time, but it was so nice!
Drew just went back to work on Monday and he is so sad. He loved being home with us. He comes home so excited to see her and I am pretty much not the princess anymore....of course I have moved to the Queen's spot :) I love watching him with her, he is such a natural! He is an amazing husband and father.
Everyone should be getting a birth announcement in the next week or so, I know I am a bit late, but I looked up the etiquette and you can actually send them up to 6 months after birth! Honestly I would have had them out sooner, but our 1st photo session was not so productive. Journey pooped on the photographers WHITE sheet and after that she was so upset she pretty much cried (screamed) the rest of the session (Journey not the photographer!). Tara, the photographer, did get some pretty good shots though. Mandy, family friend and photographer came to our house and did a photo shoot as well. She did an amazing job and Journey cooperated a little better....not sure if she is ready to hit the runway and time soon and if she is, it will be on her terms!! Anyone who has facebook, be sure to add Mandy Lundy to your friends and comment on Journey's pics she has them posted! I don't want to spoil the surprise, but I want everyone to be able to see the photos we had taken. We are lucky enough to have two amazing friends that are so talented. We thank Mandy and Tara for doing such a wonderful job. You can view them on each of their websites listed below:

One more exciting update.......drumroll please..........Drew and I finally found a rent house in Edmond! We hope to sell our house within the next year and buy in Choctaw possibly but who knows we may love Edmond :)
Well that is all the news I have for now. Below are a couple of pics...hope you enjoy them.
We love you all!
Drew, Kristen and Journey
