I finally posted new pictures

 This is Mark's new snake.  It is an emerald tree boa.

Kylie is getting bigger every day and is very smiley.

 A few pictures from Christmas.  I think Dad posted some others from their visit.

Kylie's Blessing

Fall Fun

 Kylie is a good baby.

 Sydnie always wants to hold her.

 Sydnie started preschool at the high school.

 We went to a fall festival and Maddie and Sydnie loved the pony ride.  Witnie, not so much.

 After the pony ride Witnie wouldn't even try the swings.

 Maddie loves taking pictures with her camera.

 Witnie likes small animals that don't look at her.

 We had a neighborhood bbq and did a donut eating contest for the kids.

Kylie is here!

 I went in on Tuesday at 9:45 to be induced.  After I got my pitocin and epidural the dr broke my water when I was a four.  After 15 minutes Kylie was born at 12:33.  She was 18.5 inches and 7 pounds.

 Here is our not so little family.

The girls really love their sister.  Thay always want to hold and touch her.

 Here is Grandma entertaining the kids for me.

We are so grateful she is here safe and sound.

A ffew more adventures

We went on a walk down Buffalo Bayou and the kids had to draw a nature journal

On Saturday we went to the beach and grilled up some steak

We saw these tree sculptures in Galveston. They were created from large oak trees destroyed by huricane Ike.
