Fun with the Cousins

We spent last weekend down south with Dave's family. It was a lot of fun and so nice to have our whole family there, since Jonathan was able to get Saturday and Sunday off! Imagine that, having a 'normal' weekend! (In case you don't know, we don't get those with Jonathan working at a grocery store!) Anyhow, we didn't take a lot of pictures, but here are a few... We took the kids over to 'Auntie Deb's' (Joey's other grama) to go swimming. My kids much preferred the playground to the pool!

Everybody riding in Mommy's van, well except Saydie. She had to go to the doctor that morning. :(

Mmm, mmm, mmm! Uncle David made chocolate chip cookies!!!

Joey was being such a ham!

The Rest of the Story...

Joey and I had fun playing at his house while Mom, Dad, and sister were at the hospital. It was chilly Friday morning, so I had to dress him up a bit to play out on his patio. He didn't mind though. He insisted that his hood be up too!

We took a walk that afternoon and had to stop for a few self portraits! :)

Joey is a great little walker; he stays right with you and points all sorts of interesting stuff. They live on a nice, long, flat road with very few houses on it, so it's a perfect place for walks and bike rides!

Thankfully, Saydie was cleared to come home after only one night in the hospital! I know Dave and Holley were happy to be in their own beds and Joey was happy to have mommy and daddy back!

This is Joey's chair, really. If you sit in it, he pushes you out of it! He's strong, so he can do it too! His favorite thing to do is sit in there and watch CARS!

Saydie's getting some use out of the pink bouncy seat we got for Abbey. Dave calls it "the egg." On our way to the hospital, Thursday night, Joey and I stopped at Publix to get some balloons and flowers for Holley. I had a whole little balloon bouquet, but the security guard at the hospital informed us that the plain pink ones couldn't come in, because it was a "latex-free zone!" Hadn't heard of that before, but needless to say those extra balloons were a waste of money! Oh well. I included the flower picture because I thought mom would like to see what we picked out.

Saydie Layne

My newest niece arrived today! Little Saydie came at 1:48 PM weighing 7.2 lbs and was 19 &1/2 inches long. She came faster and a lot easier than her brother and for that, we are all very thankful! She is doing great and so is mom! She is absolutely precious!

She has the longest little fingernails - like the pink part! She is just little and so adorable!

I got Joey his own balloon and he didn't mind that it was pink. He loved it! :)

Joey was a little unsure of this new person. He did give her some hugs, which was very cute!

(Sorry for the delay on getting these up, mom. Dave's computer was giving me fits!)
