a quick trip to austin and 2 very sweet little girls!

During the 4th of July weekend Joseph and I traveled to Austin and stayed with our dear friends, Aman and Juliana. Even being a three day weekend it was not NEAR enough time to see everyone we wanted to see nor do all the things we had planned. (So if you are reading this and we neglected to see you, I sincerely apologize!!!)

I snapped a few shots via Hipstamatic of Aman and Juliana's adorable little girls! Who wouldn't want to spend an entire weekend with them?

adorable!!!

Let me just say, if I weren't excited enough about being a mom, these two little girls make me even more excited! They are so sweet! One of my favorite memories from the weekend was riding in the car and sitting next to Alena. I was explaining to her that there was a baby in my belly. I asked her if she would like to hold the baby when it was born, and she promptly replied "NO! It will get germs on me". I said, "oh you mean you will get germs on the baby", thinking she had it mixed up. "It will get germs ON ME!" My bad! She also insisted that we name the baby Ferby! :)

Samaya kept telling me "you are Brandi!", over and over again. (When she was wearing her Cinderella dress she said this and I replied "you are Samaya". Well she corrected me..."NO, I Cinderella!" It just melted my heart. And in the car she would declare "I gonna look for diggers". (They drive by construction often and see big tractors and diggers).

Basically anything that comes out of these two little girls mouths is so sweet and will make anybody, including Joseph, want to have little girls too! When we got home he decided that maybe having girls wouldn't "be so bad!" HA!

It was a wonderful weekend and thank you to our lovely host's for making us feel at home, as usual!

(Also many thanks to Travis and Jen @Gateway Church for giving us a free crib!!!)
