Luke Daniel Bailey!

We got back home and were just settling down when Becky called to tell me she was back at the hospital! Luke Daniel was born at 2:12 am on Monday November 2nd! He weighed 9lbs and 2oz and had a length 21.5 in long. For more go to Becky's blog. We are going to see them on Veteran's Day-everyone but poor Jason, he has to work.

FL/GA game and Halloween at Becky's

For Halloween, all my family (except Katie and Brian)rolled into Jacksonville to stay with the Baileys. They all chipped in and helped babysit Wil and Elsie while we watched Florida beat Georgia again! We rarely leave a good game, but we decided to high tale it back to Becky's to join the Trick-or-Treaters. Wil had to be talked into his cowboy costume when Dad arrived. Our little cow was well on her way to earning her treats! Once Wil was in full costume and once we hit a few houses I think he finally understood what all the fuss was about! He likes the suckers the best-which leaves the chocolate for me! Joani (Kevin's sister) treated us to chili and snacks. Thanks to everyone for babysitting and getting them into costume for us! We had fun taking them out. After a hot and muggy Halloween night, we all congregated, talked, ate and clocked Becky's contractions! The next day Becky and Kevin headed to the hospital for more monitoring. We all waited as long as we could by getting haircuts, playing outside on the blanket, and generally enjoying all the babies together. Elsie and I even walked over to Heather and Chris's house to meet their new son, Samuel! Luke was not to arrive this day so we headed back knowing it would be soon!

Elsie's Yoga Class

Hello friends and loved ones! If you are feeling stressed or overwhelmed with life, take a few minutes with me to unwind and relax with a little yoga. Remember not to sweat the small stuff and focus on the good in your life! Namaste!

UF vs MSU and a visit to Freeport

For the UF vs MSU game, Terry, Ralph and the whole bunch watched Wil and Elsie for us. Wil and Elsie have so much fun at Grandma's house! They get to play with all the toys, meet the chickens, play on the front end loader, drive the lawnmower, sit and laugh with Joe, eat good home cooking and go to church on Sunday! We missed them while we were in Starkville, but knew they were in good hands and having fun!

Gator Homecoming and Olivia's Birthday

What a fun weekend we just had! We took the kids to their first Homecoming parade-We stayed for most of it! It was a little hot and we didn't want to wear them out too much because that night we took them to Gator Growl. We got together with Jon, Victoria, Kim, and Eric for dinner at our place. Kim babysat for us on Saturday and we were so thankful as we cheered the Gators on to another exciting win. I really enjoyed this game and we also enjoyed having Jake and Kim over afterwards for laughs and long talks! On Sunday we stopped by the Struekens newly renovated (and gorgeous!) house to sing Happy Birthday to Olivia. She turned 3 on Sunday. Olivia and Wil played outside, colored the porch and played with the dogs and a new my little pony scooter.

LSU and Wyatt's first Birthday Party

After enjoying an awesome victory at LSU, Jason and I picked the kids up from Grandma's house and headed to Wes and Kasey's house to sing Happy Birthday to Wyatt and watch him dive into his first birthday cake! I can't believe he is already one! He is still the sweetest baby and I think he enjoyed seeing all of his family! We sure had fun with Wyatt and his entourage! Kasey knows how to throw a party!
