Pics of Wyatt


Ok all of you - now quit complaining that I have not posted any pictures of Wyatt. Here he is in all his glory (boy parts and all). There are two stages, one from the very beginning of pregnancy (about two months along - picture #1) and then from the Good Friday sonogram at the hospital (picture #2 where we really got to see him. His feet are in picture #3 and picture #4 is pretty obvious. He is growing and doing well. But mainly, he is a kicker! Someone get this boy a soccer ball please! Every one is asking what Elsie thinks about all of this and the truth is, she has no clue. Oh we have told her about the baby, but I think she is in denial. Anyway, to answer your other questions, yes, it is a boy and his name will be Wyatt (after Iska's father) and no we are not having a shower (but we are registered at Babies R Us in case anyone wants to get some diapers). His due date is 8-8-08, no, that is not a typo, that is really the due date. Thanks for everyone's wonderful support through this exciting time in our lives. We can't wait to welcome little Wyatt into our family.

Virginia

Here are just a few pics from the trip to Virginia (the rest are on the other memory card!) Elsie had a great time visiting her Grandma and Grandpa and her cousins and Aunt. Here are some of my favorites from the end of the trip.

Adopt-A-Butterfly


Well, here we are again at the Houston Museum of Natural Science's adopt-a-butterfly celebration. We have tried to go everytime since Elsie was born and this May was no exception. We adopted two butterflys this year - one for Elsie and one in memory of Elsie's Great Grandmother, Elsie Lonon. We even got Grandmama to go with us this time, along with The Mackey's and the Ervin's! What a crew - five adults and four kids!

Over the Bridge

Well, this Sunday, Elsie decided it was way cool to go over the bridge in the playground, again, and again, and again, and again. Every time she got to the other side, she clapped and giggled. It was the cutest thing. I know it is not a major milestone, but these are the things of life and memories.

Chilling Poolside

Here is Elsie in her new bikini! Does it get much cuter than this? I don't think so. She and mommy broke the pool in for 2008 on Saturday, May 10 . It was supercool - except for the faceplant in the water. That was a real shocker for her. Sorry, I did not post any pictures of mommy in her bathing suit as Wyatt is quickly making that suit obsolete.
