As my little cousin Victoria proudly displayed on her t-shirt, she is no longer an only child! I thought this was such a creative way for Kristi and Clay to announce to the family last weekend at our Saturday get together that they are expecting! Victoria ran into the room in her new outfit right before the prayer before lunch, and I think Big Mama was probably the most excited at the news. I'm going to claim the second most excitement not only because of another cousin but because now Big Mama won't be asking Robert and I when we're going to go ahead and just have a baby! (Good thing my grandmother doesn't read blogs, right!) Kristi is due April 30th.
Robert and Ryan excited that Ole Miss is beating Florida
Maddie, who had a great game in her soccer match earlier that morning.

With Kyle...can you tell by our wardrobe it's a Saturday in September?
Our "official" reason for getting together (which is now debatable in light of the baby announcement made by the host and hostess) was to celebrate our October birthdays.

Victoria and Ryan. At one point Robert, Ryan, and I took over watching kids duty in the backyard. After about half an hour of swinging and throwing the football and playing baseball and catching frogs and playing tag and riding and pushing the bug and tons of other physical activity I was completely exhausted and out of energy. My age is showing when surrounded by three- to 10-year-olds with boundless energy. Ryan did teach me how to improve my football pass.
