The Reed Family got together over Memorial weekend for a cousin's wedding and some family time. We packed the weekend with lots of activities. Rehearsal dinner and dancing, Johnny and Patti's wedding, eating at Babe's Chicken, trip up to Pottsboro where we celebrated Skylar's 2nd birthday, relaxing and fishing at Grandmama and Grandpapa's house! It was fun and great to see everyone.
Olsen
We would like to introduce you to a new member of our family
Olsen
He is a yellow lab, born March 1st. He is named for Olsen Field home of the Aggie baseball team and most importantly the place where Will took me for our first date!
He is a playful puppy. Millie enjoys playing with Olsen but Skylar hasn't warmed up to him yet. She usually jumps on the trampoline the whole time we are outside instead of getting anywhere near the dog. She does like to tell him what to do...Sit Olsen, No Biting, Down Buddy!

Another Reed Baby on the way
We are having another baby! We are due December 5th. Things are going well and we are excited about adding another special blessing to our family.
Millie's Prayer
One Sunday morning on our way to church, Millie asked us if God always gives you what you ask for. Will responded with, God gives us what He thinks is best for us. In a few minutes, I looked back at Millie and noticed that she was praying so I asked her what she was praying for. She said, I asked God to give us another girl!
Her reasoning---so we could be like Ma, Pa, Mary, Laura, and Carrie from Little House on the Prairie!
We will find out if she will get what she asked for in late July! God only knows!
Proud Big Sisters!

Our new House
In May we moved to a new house. We are hoping that this will be our home for many years. The house was built in 1960 and needs some improvements (it's a "fixer-upper"). But it is in a great location and has lots of potential. We are going to tackle the improvements in phases. Will and I sometimes joke that we have 516 phases and counting...Phase 1 consisted of tearing out the wood paneling, putting in new insulation and drywall, texture, paint, build a fireplace mantle and add the stone tiles, refinish the wood floors and add new lighting. Will has become quite the handyman over the years and with a little help from some friends, the girls, and professionals we are finished with phase 1! (The pictures show phase 1 before and after.)
We are living in a 700 square foot guest apartment that is attached to the house until things are finished. We have the kitchen, office, and playroom set up in the main house so we only sleep and get ready in the apartment. It sounds crazy but we are having fun with it and making lots of memories!

Strawberry Picking
When Grandmother came to visit, Aunt Magan thought it would be fun for us to go strawberry picking. We drove to an area outside of Magnolia, TX called King's Orchard. They said the pickings were slim but we picked a box full of delicious berries without any problem. Yummy!
Easter 2009
We celebrated Easter at Gramma Dee's house with the Porter's and extended family. The kids made cupcakes and painted Easter eggs. They enjoyed flying kites and trying to hit a pinata!
Trip to San Antonio
We met Grandpapa and Grandmama (Will's parents) in San Antonio for the weekend. We walked down to the River Walk and then over to the Alamo. We also went to Gruene, TX to eat at the Gristmill on the Guadalupe River.
