Wandering Browns

 Monday, April 26th was a busy day. I knew that there was a strong possibility that I would still be pregnant, and I was, despite the strong, but inconsistent contractions I had been experiencing for several weeks. There was even an evening the previous week where I was having strong contractions every 2-3 minutes for over an hour. My contraction timing app told me to go to the hospital several times, but I knew that I needed to try laying down first, so I went to bed. And of course, the contractions stopped. So that Monday, we went to an ophthalmologist appointment for Owen in San Antonio, followed by the children's museum and Shake Shack. Thankfully, my mother-in-law had flown into town the afternoon previously, so I had a helper for this outing that made it doable with Owen and Elena and very pregnant me. We got home just in time to pick up Landon from school, make dinner, and head to Landon's baseball game. Everyone commented how they couldn't believe I was still pregna...

 Landon is 8! We had an awesome few days down in Corpus Christi with family at the beach and then the main event- Landon was baptized a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints on his birthday, August 23rd. Austin performed the baptism, with my sister and I serving as witnesses. Then, my dad, brothers-in-law and Austin gave him the gift of the Holy Ghost. It was such a special day for everyone.  As always, I recorded Landon's favorite things: Color: green Letter: L Animal: rattlesnake Dinosaur: Giganotosaurus School subject: science Brand: Nike Activity: Baseball Number:5- cubby number Sea creature: dolphin- it's really smart Food: pizza Sport: baseball Dessert: cake Toy: LEGOs Fruit: applesauce Movie: LEGO Jurassic World Show: Ninjago Place we've been: Fort Clark Song: "Guns and Ships" from Hamilton Job: Military Officer
