The family waits anxiously for the new arrival...


Julie checking to see if it is safe to come in.

Charlie trying to act like he is not nervous.

Lu and Mom having a little breakfast to calm their nerves.

Dad has done this too many times. So he decided to bring a book for the delivery of his 8th grandchild.

Lu and mom need to go have lunch. The breakfast has woren off.

Little Brother is a Daddy!




It was great to see little brother walk out with a little one in his hands. Not only is it a new baby, but our first girl. Lucy did great. I think when the time came it took her 30 minutes to get baby x out. I had to get back to work. So, I was not able to visit with Lucy, but Charlie was very proud of her and his skills that were needed to help deliver a 7lb 5oz healthy baby girl.
I hope to take Foster to see them tomorrow. I will have pictures of the mother and baby then.

Congrats Lucy and Charlie! We are all very excited for you.

Swayze Beach Trip 2009


The Pillow Family...doesn't Reese look macho!


KING OF HIS CASTLE.


What happens in Florida...stays in Florida!!


In honor of the Sports Illustrated cover.




Allison took care of McNeil one night while we went to Baytown. I have a avoided that place for a few years, because everytime we went they would double charge us in one of those stores/bars. I have to say i was impressed by all of the activities. Next year Foster is going to have to do the zipline.



Foster was able to get quality time from mom and dad. He wore dad out!


You can see in this picture how much Foster LOVES his cousins.


McNeil looks a little stressed on the beach, but he loved it!

Sprinkler Fun!




How much fun does this look!!! I would love to be 10 or even 2 again. I was tempted to get out there with them, but I had to remind myself that I am a mother of 2 now. If only I could live in Disney World where this behavior seems to be permitted according to their ads.

Foster got crazy in the sprinkler and cousin James happen to come over at the right time.
