A new Ford girl...

 Ever since I can remember I've always been told I was the first girl born into the Ford family for 60 some odd years. So pretty much everyone had boys up until me, so I was some sort of "special baby." (Or at least I sure did think so) Last week my cousin's wife, Elise, had baby number 2 and guess what...it's a GIRL! We went to welcome Lainey Elizabeth to the world on Friday and she was SO precious! I held her for almost the entire hour we were there (Kris held her for about 90 seconds or less). I've had a dose of baby fever for some time now, but it's officially in full swing now after laying my hands on her. What does this mean...we will see! Check out how cute she is...

Our first vacation stop...

I am getting too excited about the Mr. and I's vacation plans that are getting closer by the day. We had a slight bump in the road this weekend that changed our plans, but now we are going to be able to go to LA for 2 extra days! When we got the opportunity this weekend I jumped on it so we would have more time to visit my favorite Southern California town that I once lived...San Clemente!
A few stops we have planned while in town...
  • A few LA Dodger vs. Detroit games to see some of the Mr.'s ex-players who are now in the Major Leagues (after all this is the original reason we are going).
  • An appearance on The Price is Right!
  • A hot dog at Pink's
  • In-N-Out burger (Kris has not experienced this place due to the large crowds in Frisco STILL)
  • Spending time with my long-time friend Michelle (who lives in Cali) at some of my favorite San Clemente spots.
  • Possibly touring Universal Studios.
  • A drive down the PCH.
  • We are definitely going to hit up some of the local LA tourist spots (while living in Cali I never really did any of that).
We will see what we actually get accomplished while we are there, but it is promised to be a jam packed 5 days of soaking up those beautiful California rays and catching some of the sunsets that I miss so much! You just don't get the same effect here in TX. If the Mr. and I were to ever move out of state...California would be my only choice!

I'll leave you with this for now...can't wait to share about the rest of our summer plans!
