New Addition

We welcomed Maddee Jo to our family on Sunday, July 12, at 7:58 p.m. She weighed 8 lbs. and 6 ozs. and was 20 inches long. Makenna is a wonderful big sister. Once or twice during the day Makenna will get up on the couch and ask to hold her little sister. She's been a big help.

As has my Mom who got here on Tuesday, about an hour before we got home from the hospital. It was perfect timing. We've put her to work cooking and baking, and, of course, spoiling her granddaughters!

Patio Boat

Well, I'm sitting here updating our blog which means we're not at the hospital having a baby. You've got to know I find that extremely disappointing. Ah well, at least I have a chance to show off our patio boat. We've been fishing a few times - it's been great fun. The best thing about it is the side panels that allow Makenna to run around on the boat without the worry of her falling in. Having only been on the boat three times, I think it has already paid for itself and more! Now we just have to get our barbecue grill on it so we can have hamburgers and hot dogs while fishing.
