Hi Ladies!!
Long time no "see"!
I've been so busy getting ready for vacation, being on vacation, taking care of Margot, keeping the house in order, etc. I miss you girls though! I lurk from my iphone a lot, but I don't really like responding via phone - kinda a PITA. Anyhow, Alyssa - your kitchen looks fab! Marcy - you look fab! I can't believe you've been hiding that adorable belly from us this whole time! Jackie - hang in there girl, you look hot and you are so close to having that baby in your arms! Ash - congrats on graduating and on the TAKS scores! You're awesome! Everyone else - Hiiiii!
We just got back from a vacation in Rosemary Beach. If you ever want a beach vaca in the States, I highly recommend this area! It was soooooooo wonderful to relax with DH and Margot and to see DH 24/7! Margot absolutely loved the beach! We also took her to the pool for the first time and she had a blast kicking around in the water! One day, we took Margot over to see DH's family - they are about 45 min away from where we were staying. His brothers and Grandma had not seen her yet. BIL wanted to hold her all the time - it was so cute!
Unfortunately, the day after we got home, DH had to leave for China 
But, he'll be back Saturday night and Margot is getting Baptized on Sunday in my home church and she's going to wear my Baptism gown. Afterwards, we're going to brunch at Seasons 52. Yum!
Oh, and an update on MIL.... remember how she was "working" in NC? Well, a couple days before Mothers Day, she just showed up at BIL's house and said "surprise!" Obviously, she "surprised" him because she knew he didn't want her living there anymore. Her excuse for leaving NC early is that they were all doing cocaine all day. Ya, okay! None of us believe her. So, BIL gave her 2 weeks to get out of his house and she recently moved in with her friend that just got his 3rd DUI. Apparently, he's going to pay MIL to drive him around. So, now she's living in a trailer with this guy doing who knows what. DH's response to her telling him she was moving into a trailer was "That's great Mom!" haha She never asked to come stay with us thank goodness! BIL told her that if she ends up homeless, she can sleep in her car in his driveway, but she can't move back in with him. They've all agreed not to give anymore money either. About time these boys cut her loose! So, it seems like everyone is on the same page now in regards to her. Terribly sad, but had to be done IMO.
So, that's my update.....
Re: Hi Ladies!!
Hi!!!! Glad to see your update!! Margot is a beautiful little girl. I'm so glad the three of you got some quality, relaxing time in!
I'm loving that she is getting baptized in your home church in your gown. How absolutely special!
It really doesn't sound like anything more can be done for that crazy woman. I hope no one reneges and she either learns something from this or just stops making trouble for you guys.
HIIIIII! I saw your vaca pics on fb! I loved the one with Margot and your H napping on the beach - so precious! Sometimes it's hard to "cut your mom" off but I'm glad your H and his brother are on the same page about it and hopefully she can learn to get herself together.
So, DH and I (possibly my whole family) are coming to Disney in December. I personally think you should bring Margot and come hang out with us for a day

::blushes:: Thanks! Sort of a hobby.... We bought ourselves an awesome camera for Christmas, so I've been trying to hone my amateur photography skills with it. I've always really enjoyed it though and am trying to get better.

BIL told her that if she ends up homeless, she can sleep in her car in his driveway, but she can't move back in with him.
I'm so sorry I laughed at this, but I laughed really really hard. It's great to hear that your husband and BIL are holding their ground.
Now I want to take Piper to the beach!! I feel like this summer is going to be a a complete wash for beach/pool fun.
