Thread on Local News.

We were honored to be interviewed by a local TV station last week for a segment on Channel 13's Stretch Your Dollar.  The segment on Houston resale shops aired today!  See Thread's Blog for behind the scene photos and click below to watch the video online:

Thread + Beanies Kids.

At the shop, Thread, we have two other companies that rent space from us.  Beanies - a custom children's clothing line - and Sam + Lucy - a monogramming/personalized gift company.  So with all 5 women that work at 321-B W. 19th St., we have 9 children altogether.

Here are some of the crazy kids that can be found running around the shop:

miles, addyson, luke, oliver + warren

sweet addyson.

all standing still and quiet for once.

... they all fall down.

Luke loves having all the older kids around.  It is really incredible to be working with some great business women who are also great moms!

Another Day at the Office.

Gotta start them young.

Baby Lucas: 11 Months Old.

WHAT??? 

My baby is 11 months old?  

How did this happen?  (tear).  

Where did my baby boy go?  (more tears).  

Here is the cutest boy in the world all grown up!  (i am biased of course).

Happy 11mo Luke.  Mommy + Daddy love you so much!

I have to share this photo of a close up of Luke's boxers from Sam + Lucy:

They are the cutest things ever!

Thanks Claire + Jill. 

We love him in them!

XOXO

Daddy + Luke.

Casey has gotten to hang out with Luke more on the weekends now that I am working.  I really think it's a blessing in disguise.  Casey works long days during the week and often times when he gets home Luke is already asleep.  They are both enjoying their time together on the weekends.

Luke's new game is to roll the ball on the floor + crawling after it.

Getting the blue ball off the table.

I got it mama.

The race is on.

Who will get it first?

Go Luke!

The two boys even chill together.

Adorable.  Luke w/ his balls.

Luke might like soccer as much as his daddy.

Casey is hoping!

Ladies Love Lucas!

Lucas is adjusting to me working ... I think.  

He does really well at the store when there are other kids around.  

I have to admit, he really loves the ladies!

In one afternoon, he managed to have 3 play dates with 3 different little girls.

Luke + Leila (daughter of Carina)

If this is any indication,

Casey + I are in big trouble!

Ladies Love Lucas.

Lucas @ Play.

Lucas is really starting to get his independent play down.

I think me working has really forced him to do so.

I caught him playing behind the couch + he

looked so cute at play.

Baby Dedication.

The last weekend in February we dedicated baby Lucas to the Lord at our church - Bridge Point Bible Church.  I just found these picture on my camera and realized I never blogged or posted about it.

Our Little Family.

We had family over to the church and then back at our house for brunch.  It was so much fun!  It's especially fun to see all the cousins play together.

Brady (5), Preston (10m) + Lucas (10m)

Brady w/ Luke.  Brady is going

to be such a GREAT big brother.

Brady has his hands full w/ Preston + Luke.

Miss Lucas? Me too!

We have been so busy now that I have been working.
We miss Casey too. Hats off to all working moms! 

It is hard and a definite adjustment, but we are making it work.  

I have snapped a few shots of Lucas in the past couple days/weeks 

thinking that some of you might be missing him.  Thought i would share.

This is what happens when daddy is left watching Luke 

while I am off at work.  I came home to pants on his head!

Too funny.

Lucas picking out paint swatches at Thread.

I turned my back to help a customer and this is 

what I found him doing!  He is so cute.

Baby boy outside of Thread in my old highchair 

that PaPa brought to the store.  Such a happy boy.

Lucas passed out after a long day of selling @ Thread.
