Hayden is a big help

While Jennifer was at the hospital having her gallbladder taken out, Hayden was a big help to Nana. While I was in the bedroom changing Harlen, Hayden was in the kitchen busy washing bottles for the sterilizer! I didn't take a picture of the floor, he must have used a quarter cup of dishwashing liquid!

Ready for # 5

I made baby McCall's door hanger for the hospital last weekend. So we are all officially ready. I even made the two ribbons with the boy name and the girl name so all I have to do is add it when it is born. This has been torture not knowing what it is, but now that it's so close, it does add some additional excitement to the birth.

GRANDPARENTS WEEK

It's like Christmas for Grandparents! Last Tuesday we went to first grade to eat lunch with Wade, and this week we went to the Kindergarten to eat lunch with Hayden and Lolla. It's always so much fun to go and see then with all their little friends. Hayden saw a boy in his class yesterday and he said that he has a lot of "neck bracelets" necklaces and he would like just one....and also he has an I.D. bracelet that he thinks is just the coolest.

Kaylie made us a book mark that says "Thumb" body loves you and it has her little thumb prints on it. I just love it because that's just how she would say it too! Kaylie will be singing in chapel next week, and we will be going to watch her. That's always an opportunity for some good pictures.

Harlen James is Here!

He was born Friday August 28th shortly after 1pm. He weighed 7lbs. 8.2 oz and is 19 1/2"

Lots of dark hair and in my opinion looks a whole lot like Hayden's baby pictures.

Hayden is the best big brother.

Jen is doing well and will have her gallbladder removed in a couple of weeks.

Big Baby

Jeana's latest ultrasound says she's on track to have a big baby.

It already measures to be almost 5 lbs!

It also looks remarkably like her baby picture.

A Shower for Baby ???????

Saturday our wonderful family members gave Jeana and Pheefer a baby shower. They got tons of goodies and it was a lot of fun. They are definately prepared for baby ??? She will go to the doctor in just over a week and on that visit will learn the date for her c-section. Here are a few pictures from Saturday.

Busy Weekend!

On Saturday, we made our annual trip to the Ringling & Barnum and Baily Circus at Reliant Stadium. Next year we will have two more to add to our expanding group! The show was very good again this year and we all enjoyed it very much.

Cousin Ellie got to come with us this year and she had a blast. She even got a little clown action during the performance!!!

We got home and took a little rest, then went to watch Hayden at the bicycle races at Armadillo BMX racing track in Conroe. His very first race was last weekend and he took second place, this weekend, he got FIRST!!!!

Wade and Kaylie spent the night and we all had a real good time. The perfect weekend ended with Hayden attending "Baby School" at Women's Hospital. He took a little class that showed him how to take care of his new baby brother when he makes his arrival in the next few weeks. Jennifer should get her scheduled date for her c-section on Friday.
