Right place, Right time!

Last weekend we took {yet another}
trip to Amarillo! For the 4th weekend
in a row...for Ritchie's life-long friends
wedding!

Here's a peek at our fabulous weekend!

Middle + baby girls

Poppy came to Lubbock on Friday for some meetings

and took Emma lunch to school, then picked Abby

up from school & met us for lunch {again!} at Caprock Cafe!

Then he worked a bit, and picked Emma up from school

and took her to her piano lesson. Then he, Emma, & Abby 

loaded up and headed to Amarillo ahead of Mommy & Daddy

{our house has never been so quiet for so long! unless you count

the times when we're all in Amarillo :)}

I got up early Saturday morning

 {THE one morning I could have slept in...}

Ethan and Sophie both slept in til 8:30, but my body

is so used to 6:45 that I was up at 7 :/ 

The upside, my house got cleaned and organized

before we went to Amarillo for the weekend! :)

Ethan entertained Sophie while I finished packing...

Ethan showing Sophie around the Baby Einstein :)

Ethan & Sophie slept the whole way there...

We barely made it in town before we had

to rush to Palo Duro Canyon for Patrick + Lindsey's 

beautiful wedding!

Seriously the.most.beautiful setting for a wedding!

The girls looking at some lovely butterflies

Daddy + baby girl

such a lovely backdrop!

Emma brought her new sketch pad

and sat and drew and drew...

our budding little artist!

Sophie finally met Patrick!

Beautiful Lil Sophie Belle!

Love this one!

Me and My Guy :) {gosh am I lucky!}

And forgive the repeats, but I just love

As we were leaving Palo Duro Canyon

I called my Mom to see what she was up to

for the evening and she told me that 

she had been trying to get ahold of me...

{Palo Duro Canyon=no phone service}

My sister, {Jill} was at the hospital...

about to have my precious new niece!

I got my kiddos settled at Mammy & Poppy's 

and sped to the hospital!

I just happened to be in the right place, 

at the right time :) Jill was scheduled to

be induced on Wednesday, the 24th

and I was going to have to drive back

to Amarillo for her delivery, but little Miss Ellie

had other plans and decided to come 2 weeks

early! :)

Molly, waiting to meet her baby sis!

The coolest part was that I got to be in 

the delivery room! I was fortunate enough

to be in the room when Jill had Molly

and was SO excited to help her welcome

their newest lil blessing!

Little Miss Ellie Jane made her 

debut at 12:55 am on October 21st

8lbs 1/2 oz, 20 inches long!

Sweet baby girl!

I headed back to Mammy & Poppy's 

around 2:30 am...and a

GRANDE Turtle was the only thing that

kept me going all day long at church, then 

lunch at Mam Jerry's {YUM!}

After lunch we took the kiddos to the

hospital to meet their new baby cousin!

Abby, of course was beyond excited
to hold Ellie!

Emma loved her instantly!

...sleeping with her mouth open...

{she's Jill's daughter alright!}

Uncle Ritchie meeting Ellie

{he used big.sexy.hair shampoo in the shower that morning

...if you can't tell, his hair is abnormally fluffy!}

this might be my favorite pic of the weekend...

Sophie Belle {4 months} Ellie Jane {1 day}

BFF's for life :)

{aren't they adorable? I love how Sophie's holding on to

Ellie and Ellie looks like she's excitedly 

cheering the Red Raiders on in their victory over TCU!}

Nana, Sophie & Abigail

Nana and all of her grandkids!

Abigail {4}, Emma {5}, Ethan {2},

On the way home I caught a few cute shots of

Such a memorable weekend
