Birthday boy



This is only a couple weeks late. Sorry for not posting lately. I've been dealing with a pulled something in my back and it's a bit of a pain to sit for long. Plus we've been busy as I'm sure many of you were over the past week. We had a great Thanksgiving here in Waco and now can't wait for Kyle to finish the semester and Christmas to arrive.

The first picture is Jack licking the batter spoon - since I took a similar picture of Lillian on her first birthday. The second was taken on Monday, November 9 when we celebrated with others including Uncle Kevin, Dr Lewis (of our Vancouver/Regent days - visiting for a couple days) and Matt Mattoon (a student in the program with Kyle with also went to Regent and also worked for Dr Lewis). Jack was a bit hesitant in eating the cake or rather how to go about it. He does not have this problem with most other food though.

As I'm laying here on bed rest, I can't stop thinking about having a newborn a my arms. But alas, I'm still at home waiting for this baby to decide to come. My Tuesday appointment showed an elevated blood pressure (same occurred with the other two) and so I spent 2.5 hours at the hospital for monitoring and lab tests. With normal results I was sent home (thank you thank you) on bed rest. This means little to no movement around. Grammy is most affected by this and she's doing an amazing job with Lillian and Jack - in fact, she's doing everything, including taking care of me and the household chores. Wow! The good news is that I've moved on from 2cm (16 days ago) to 4cm. So really, it's up to the babe to realize what a great family and world awaits him on this side :) It could be he/she is waiting for Kyle and I to decide on a good name - suggestions anyone? Here are the first pics of my Lillian May and Jack Robert: Jack joined our family at 10:24...

Arriving in the valley - August 2016

Movers arrive We are currently living in McAllen located in south Texas just 9 miles north of the border.  It is very tropical, very hot, very spanish-speaking, and our favorite part - filled with very yummy Mexican food.  McAllen is about 140,000 population but with the surrounding towns it is over 1 million.  Kyle actually works in Edinburg where UT-Rio Grande Valley is located.  It is about a 20 min drive north.  Earth view of our neighborhood From our backyard toward the park and walking path Front flowers  The boys were the first to dig in. First of many trips to Delia's for fresh tamales These parrakeets are very noisy.  We often see them around the neighborhood, at the park, and at HEB! We are able to see some amazing sunsets from the front of the house. Library time! Lillian was the first to set up her room
