Kye Has Come

After a long 40 weeks, and a really long last 3 weeks, Erin gave birth to a sweet baby boy, Kye Michael, very early this morning. We visited Erin and Michael today, and other than being a bit tired (as expected after being up most of the night), they looked great and were clearly in love with their new son. Congrats you guys! You make beautiful babies.

10 Years to Remember

This month is special because our 10th wedding anniversary is on the 24th. We were just babies when we made the life-altering decision to bind our lives, and it feels simply awesome to have been together for a whole decade now. For the rest of this month, I'll be documenting various elements of the last ten years in dedication to the love of my life, Matt.

The Fourth

Happy 2nd Birthday my sweet nephew!

Some Fourth of July staples, coupled with Tyler's 2nd birthday decorations (courtesy of Janet)...

Noah experienced his first boat ride on the Fourth. The life jacket was a non-negotioable, and he handled it better than we had expected, although he had his moments of screaching while trying to yank it off! He liked watching the water swoosh by and the lull of the motor helped rock him to sleep. He fell asleep in his daddy's arms, and I held him tightly through the fireworks show, and afterwards, Papa (Steve) drove us back home through the dark waters.

We started our weekend with swimming with the Gourley's at Webster Groves' pool! Aiden had a blast, Noah had a pretty good time, but poor Reese was just not enjoying herself. She would have rather been shopping.

Burp Cloth Take Two

If at first you don't succeed, check out books from the library.

This second burp cloth turned out much better. It still needs some work though. I feel like it looks like a place mat.
