Filling in the Details . . .

Leo turns 7!

Leo wanted to go swimming and break a pinata. So, that is just what we did.

Lucky Number 13

Welcome to the world Boston!

We welcomed our newest grandchild last night bringing the total to 13. Shayne and Kim proudly announce the arrival of Boston (?) Wilbur (middle name still to be officially announced) who was born at 10:26 on 9:26. He weighed in at a whopping 8 lbs 12 oz and 19 1/2 inches long making him the biggest one thus far. Shayne is so very proud. He has his Great-Grandpa Boston's hands. They are HUGE! We compared them to Asa's hands (who is now about 12 weeks old) and Boston's are bigger. He also has the big barrel chest that Shayne was hoping for.

The Inspiration of Children (regardless of age)

Andy, Melo, Beni, and Chelsea ran in a marathon relay on September 13th. Several of us went to cheer them on. It was a chilly yet awesome experience. It was an amazing experience and it inspired me to try running. I have been able to run a lap around the church and then walk a lap to do my 2 miles in the mornings. My friend Wendy reminded me that she started "mailbox to mailbox". I have such hope!

Happy Birthday Melo!
Sunday night we had a birthday party for Melo. It was great!

We had a great party and that got a bit out of had with a bit of a cake fight. Scott and Janelle and Chasity got it started. Then Terrie and BriAnna got caught up in it. The kitchen was a mess but it was all good. It all got cleaned up really well - - I even got the baseboards cleaned out of the whole deal. It was all in good CLEAN fun.
