Fun at Tahoe, but not for Gavin

Poor Gavin:( Unfortunatly our trip to Echo Lake this year was cut short. Gavin went to the doctor today with a high fever and ear infections in both ears! He cried the whole way up there and we wondered what was wrong and now we know! So after one REALLY rough night on Friday, we decided to pack up and go home for some good r & r. Glad we did because all he is doing is crying and only wants to sleep on our chests. Nice change for us for this busy 10 month old!







Emma Lilly is here!



We are so excited to tell everyone that Emma Lilly arrived on Friday August 22nd around 3:15pm via c-section. She weighed 7lbs 11oz(same as big sister Faith!) and 21 1/2 inches long. Gavin is so excited that he has a new cousin to play with! And big sister Faith is happy saying "my baby" to Emma. Both Mommy and baby are doing well and get to go home soon. We can't wait to meet her in December!

Here are some pics to see!

More picks from the Chicago trip





Congrats to Jena and Chad!! Mr. and Mrs. Murray:)










Well another trip this summer marked off the list! Gosh we've been so busy! Chicago was a blast and it was so great seeing all our friends and family at Chad and Jena's wedding. Mimi and Peepaw came up to see us and even got to babysit Gavin while Mom and Dad were dancing up a storm with friends and G & G Moore! They had so much fun with Gavin and even took him out to dinner and got to put him to bed. Gavin was so good during the trip. Although when we got back he was so relieved to have his own bed and not have to be carried around everywhere! He did great on the plane rides, although a bit cranky on the way back. It's those early morning flights that get him every time! He got a new Baby Einstein video to watch on the plane and a few new toys! Although we found the best trick was puffs and a straw to hang onto. Weird, so every where we went in the airports we were spotted stealing straws!

Gavin was not quite the great sleeper on the trip. The first night we got there he stayed up until 1am! Which of course was only 11pm our time but still that's crazy late for someone that goes to bed at 7:30pm! Luckily each night he would go down a little bit earlier. He got to meet his new best friend Eli for the first time! He loved looking a the baby! He just loves staring at little kids and babies. Jena looked AMAZING at the wedding and seemed to have such a great time with her new husband! They are so lucky cause they got to go to Brazil for their honeymoon! They deserve a good time with everything they've been through lately.

What a great trip! Now we are so lucky because in 10 days we get to see Mimi and Pepaw Coffman again!! They are coming out to visit and see Gavin in his own enviroment for the first time since he was born. I think we are going to go to the State Fair and then do some planning for Gavin's big Halloween birthday bash! Should be fun!
