Stuff

Lately the kids have been sleeping longer in the morning these days. With the exception of Landry, who likes to wake up at 7:00am usually. So before everyone gets up I like to take this time to go outside and water the flowers and just take in a little peace and quiet. The other day, I spotted this beautiful dragonfly resting on our bush out front. I was bummed that I didn't have any of the kids awake to share it with, so I pulled out the camera and showed them later.

So last week was just one of those weeks. It seemed like anything we had planned didn't happen for some reason or another. The plan Monday was to take Kelci to her ENT appointment for some pre-op things they needed to go over before the surgery on Wed. But while we were out that morning at Target, she started to feel really ill. She had already been dealing with a runny nose and cough for about 8 days, so I wasn't completely surprised, but I knew this wasn't going to be good for her planned surgery. So instead of heading off to our next scheduled stop, we had to detour to our pediatrician (with all five kids with me, sounds fun uh). He determined that she had a bad sinus infection and would need to postpone her surgery for another 2 weeks (right before school starts...bummer).

The next day, I decided we would go to the dollar movie at the local theater. So we got ready, jumped in the car and drove to the 10:00am show, pulling into the parking lot I quickly realized that no one else was there and we had come a day early, opps. So we drove over to Costa Vida to say hello to Daddy and took care of a couple of other errands that day. Around 1:00pm I received a text from Chrystina that she was in labor and delivery and was dilated to a 5! We were so excited and when Bryan arrived home we made the trip down to go and see our new nephew.


Here is Brandon Clark Collins. Born prematurely at 36wks and 7days at a whopping 9lbs 7oz and was 21 inches long. We don't even want to thing about how big he would have been in 3 weeks. We are just so excited for Craig and Chrystina and there family, that have waited a long time for this little guy.

Here is Tyler meeting his new brother and checking out how little his hands are. So precious!
