Fun Family Times...

We went home...again!!...which makes twice in one week! We were thankful to spend some time with Jen & Jason (Jon's sister & her her new hubby) who live in Kentucky. We had some sweet family time with Jon's parents, grandparents & siblings. We also celebrated Mike's 16th Birthday early ~ It's actually today! Happy Birthday, Mike! Hope you had a great day ~ We love you!



We love hanging out with all our siblings! We always have fun!



After we left there, we headed up to see Tim, Casey & Nattie! We loved our Nattie time! She was very sleepy all afternoon! Casey was excited that Aunt Meggy changed lots of diapers for her while Uncle Jon supervised! We laughed at this picture cause she just fell asleep, but looks like she is rock climbing up me!



Jon & I are now getting settled back into life in College Station full of work, job searching, and hopefully rest!

Arrival of our Niece!!!

We are officially an Aunt Meggy & Uncle Jon! She has come!



Our beautiful niece, Natalie, arrived on Wednesday, June 10th at 1:29pm. She was 8lbs, 1 oz & 19 3/4 inches long! We already love her lots!



We found out Monday that Casey was going to be induced Wednesday morning at 5:30. We got to the hospital a little before 8, and Casey had just begun having painful contractions. She had her epidural and before 10:30am was dilated to 8cm. Then, we played the waiting game till she arrived at 1:29pm. We actually played the waiting game until Tim came out 45 minutes after that to tell us both his girls were doing well! Then about 30 minutes after that we got to see & all hold our precious niece!



We all had t-shirts labeling our relationship to Natalie ~ It was so fun! All the nurses & staff at the hospital kept asking where their personalized shirts were! At one point ~ some of us had already arrived at the hospital & the others arrived asking the man at the information desk how to get to the right room ~ He told them go up the elevator to the second floor & look for people with shirts just like theirs! Nattie even had her own onesie!



Jon & I were so thankful to be able to make it in to meet her!



Isn't she just beautiful?!? Have no doubt ~ there will be more pictures to come!

Washer Stories

We bought a washer & dryer in our first weeks of getting married, which has been such a blessing! I am very thankful for our own ~ so I can wash clothes at any time of day!

Our washer works great, until it gets off balance ~ then you have to sit on it! I spend a few days a month sitting on our washer until it gets through the spin cycle! Oh, the joys of being early married ~ it's so fun! Here's a small glimpse of our world!
