The latest in the Derenthal home.
One of my few friends here in Texas is an amazing photographer and she took some newborns pics of Me and little Beckster. He was about 3 weeks I think. Everything is such a blur. I can't believe he is already seven weeks old!
I went upstairs to check on the girls and this is how I found them. Bryn had climbed out of her crib and I guess they both just fell asleep reading to each other. Precious!
Bryn playing with the vacuum extensions...again. I don't even know why I waste money on real toys.

The Latest in Texas
The biggest news that we have had in the past month is that we are expecting a little boy in December. We are so excited! Although I have no idea how to handle a boy and Drew and I are disagreeing considerably on names, we can't wait. Mostly we play dress up and go to the pool. You can't stay outside for very long here. The girls faces turn bright red pretty fast.
Drew and I got to go to an Astros game with his company and we got to sit in a box which was such a treat. There was food and a bartender/waiter and cake and ice cream! I don't think I can ever go to a baseball game with the common folk again. :)
If anyone has any ideas on how to keep kids occupied and entertained during the day, suggestions are welcome!!

Such a Sad Day :(
The time has come to cut Darcy's hair. Especially with the heat and swimming everyday it got pretty bird's nest-like. I started cutting the front and when I got to the back I realized just how much I was cutting off. I was kinda depressed for the rest of the day but I think she is more comfortable. It's a good things it's curly too because it hides all the flaws.

FINALLY!!!
Life in Texas is HOT! They have 13 community pools and a couple of water pads that we visit often to escape the heat. I never thought I would miss Utah though but I do! I mostly miss the people and knowing all of my neighbors and having little friends for Darcy to play with. But we are making new friends here it'll just take some time to adjust. More to come soon!

Darcy Turns Three!!!
Last Saturday we had a cute little Tangled themed birthday party for Darcy. We were telling her about it all week so she was getting pretty excited. When the first friend knocked on the door she cried out "FRIENDS!" and was just as cute as can be. I followed the "invite twice as many people as you think will show up" rule because usually only half will come. Not the case here. Everyone but 2 came so there were 19 kids and about 12 adults packed in our tiny apartment. Good times.

Drew traced a big wanted poster of Flynn Ryder for the kids to play "Pin the nose on Flynn". It turned out pretty good. :)

We made mini braids with clips in the end for all the girls.

We also made little jello boats after the scene in the movie where they are obviously on a boat. I got a lot of these ideas from this super cute blog. My photos are a lot more ghetto but I don't think Darcy minded the chincyness.
