Pig Tails and PJ'S

I finally tackled Summer's hair and put it in pig tails today. The part is a little crazy but with practice it will get better. She really liked it and it was nice to see her eyes today.

Last week we bought Austin a new pair of PJ's but the hanger was marked with the wrong size so they were too small. We decided to give them to Summer and buy Austin the bigger size. Summer thought it was so funny to match Austin and wanted me to take pictures of them together.

Grandparents Are Great

Here are pictures of Luke meeting all of his grandparents. He has no idea how much they are going to love and spoil him. All the grandparents were there to welcome Luke into the world.

He just needs to meet his Nana which will happen soon.

Being A Big Sister

Summer has amazed me once again. She has been a perfect big sister. She loves to hold, feed and entertain Luke. She has been patient with Chad and me when we can't meet her needs right away. It is hard to find a safe place for Luke so he usually ends up in our bedroom with Summer watching him swing or sleep.

Summer we are so proud of you Austin and Luke are very blessed to have a sister like you.

Helping with his first feeding.

First time to hold him

The perfect feeding spot.
Giving Luke a kiss

Summer did a Super Sibling Class at the hospital the week before Luke arrived and she got to put her hands on the wall in the hospital. The whole labor and delivery floor is covered in hand prints of siblings-it is super cool.




Happy 200th post.
I began this blog when Austin was six months old. It all started when I received an e-mail from my Uncle Alan telling me about Julie's Blog and how we should all create one to keep the family updated. I never got into scrap booking or even filling out my kids baby books so this was perfect for me.
At the time we had just moved into our new home and Austin was just Austin.
We had no idea what God had in store for us.
------------------------------------------------------
Five years later we have three beautiful children.
I am so glad to have their whole lives documented with pictures, dates and stories.
I know this is something we will always treasure as well as the kids.
Thank you for following along on this journey with us.

Luke Allen Black

He's here! Luke entered the world on May 28th at 2:48 pm. He weighed 8.6 oz and was 20 1/4 long. He is such a calm and quiet baby. We came home today and our enjoying our new little love. Austin and Summer are staying with my parents until tomorrow. We can't wait to have the whole family together. Thanks to everyone who helped with the kids, came to the hospital and prayed for this baby. Once again-God is Good!

Austin's Army is Awesome

We raised almost $1500 this year and had a great turn out. We are so thankful for everyone that came out to walk and who made a donation to the foundation. Austin loved having such a big Army this year. I am waiting on the group picture (hint hint mom) but wanted to share some pictures and a video of the day with all of you.

Check back this weekend for more pictures!!!

Special Olympics 2010

Today was Challenge Day in Tomball. This was Austin's second year to participate. He had fun and we enjoyed watching what he had learned. The activities were different this year. His favorite was the parachute. Summer even got involved and gave Austin his medal in the awards ceremony. I posted a couple of video clips at the bottom. (they are loud)

Austin was making the car move by holding down a switch-so cool

Look how happy he is.

Gold Medal!!!!!

Summer was proud of Austin and so were we.

Ok so on this event he was suppose to roll, crawl, and touch his toes-he had other ideas

Disney on Ice

Last Saturday we took Summer to see Disney on Ice. She loved every minute of it. She was so excited to see Mickey Mouse and the whole gang. About five minutes into the show she leans over and tells me that's funny mommy their talking but their mouths aren't moving. She is too funny!

Austin's Field Trip

A couple of weeks ago Austin's class went on a field trip to Old MacDonald's Farm. We all went and had a great time. Austin loved being outside and Summer loved the animals. She would point and laugh at all the different tails-at first I thought she was pointing at their butts. We rode the train and had a picnic with Austin's class.

They loved these swings.

Austin's favorite!

Easter Celebration

We had such a nice Easter this year. We started off by going to church with Grandma and Paw-Paw. Thanks to Paw-Paw who entertained Austin and Summer the whole time!

Then we went to their house for lunch and an Easter egg hunt.

These three get along so well.
Austin loved his basket
