Landry

My beautiful niece Landry made her LONG awaited entrance into the world last week. She's been prayed for and hoped for for about 7 years now and we're so glad she's finally here.

Enjoy the pictures!

First Day of School

Today was the first day of school for both boys here.

Porter is starting 2nd grade

and Walker is starting Kindergarten.



Porter pretty much takes things in stride and doesn't let things worry him too much. Walker wasn't worried either but really excited to start school. He's been asking about it off and on for months and was up really early this morning dressed and ready to go. He picked pancakes and scrambled eggs for breakfast then was out the door! He wasn't nervous or anything, just really ready to go. I've been quizzing him on is phone number and what to do if he is confused or lost or has any problems. I wanted to make sure he knew what to do in any situation. This morning I said, "What if you can't find Porter to help you find the bus to ride home?" He responded, "Well, that's ok, I'll just walk home." What?!?! NO!!!!! We live about 3 miles from the school on the other side of town! I really hope he doesn't try that sometime... but I wouldn't put it past him. He's pretty independent.

And we had to get a picture with Emilia and the boys!

So now it's just me and Luke here at home. I had all kinds of plans to get so much done but those plans are going to have to be put on hold for a little while. I went to the doctor yesterday because of back pain and a pretty good idea that the kidney stones are back. They are. Bummer. So pretty much I will be lazy and not try to aggravate things too much until they pass and I'm feeling better. Wish me luck!
