Lunch Pictures

I can't remember when we took these. Anyhow, this was about the time Owen started his anti- mommy phase. He is so in love with his Daddy.

Happy Birthday Maw Maw

These are some old pictures I found from August. It was Maw Maw's birthday party at Stix. We had a good time and she got some lovin from Owen.

Family Trip to Walmart

We stopped by the new Walmart in Hueytown and it turned into a whole afternoon family trip.

This thing was really neat.... There was a man operating it, but I didn't see him.... so when he was calling us by name and interacting in our conversation I turned instantly into a little kid. He moved and talked and made facial expression and jokes... he was AWESOME. I was more excited than Owen. Oh well!

We ended our trip with a quick hair cut that Owen was desperately in need of
lets go home Daddy

Happy Halloween!

Here is our first Jack-o-lantern!!!! Michael, Andi , Micah, and Alston came over and we carved pumpkins. The boys could have cared less about it so Michael and I carved them by ourselves. Once we got them outside and lit them Owen and Micah were all about them. They kept trying to blow them out.

Halloween night we went to Brandi and tucker's house to trick or treat and eat sweets. Aiden, Austin, and some of the neighborhood kids were there it was lots of fun. Brandi made chili and lots of other snacks for everyone. Owen had a good time trick or treating. He still would say it but, he loved putting his candy in his pumpkin. He especially enjoyed the Jack-o-lanterns!!!

Owens costume. He was the Itsy Bitsy Spider. Unfortunately, the 2T costume was a little small so the hat sat on top of his head, and his gloves were tight so I couldn't get a full picture of him. He also ripped of the bow tie but Oh well he was cute. I caught him holding hands with his costume hands. It was sweet.

Dear Friends and family,

It is with the greatest of pleasure that we can announce that our little baby Eva has finally come home. We were discharged from Childrens Hospital in Birmingham a week ago last friday and hit the door running. ( of course they tell us we are being discharged at 8 in the morning and then we have to sit and wait in anxious anticipation until 5pm when they turn us loose into afternoon traffic.) About 6 hours later we managed to navigate the 30 or so miles to our home, (sarcasm) and took our little pink ribbon off of the mailbox to signify that our newest addition had finally arrived. Little Eva is doing fantastic. She is up to 8 lbs. and 6 oz. and does everything a full term baby does ( eat, sleep and poop ) and more. She also grunts, gnaws, moves her head from side to side etc. I can only imagine how hard it is for her to move her head with that gigantic Giles brain in there but I guess she will adapt as I have. (har har ) We are left with a myriad of follow-up appointments some of which we have already been to and our last little hurdle will be getting her liver/ gall bladder to function properly which we think for now can be managed with medicines. I know that there are a ton of people we need to thank for the thoughtfulness and prayers that have gone up for our little Bit , many of whom we will probably never meet like the congregation of my mothers church in Dallas, Texas and Judy Combs and her church in McDill, McOklahoma...( lol ) ( I know its Madill, OK but McDill fit better) and numerous others that we certainly appreciate. I hope everyone knows how much it means to a couple of parents sitting in a hospital intensive care unit gazing upon there new little baby knowing that people from Florida to California are praying for her good health and speedy recovery. Our eternal thanks go out to all of you. You have made this whole chaotic mess alot easier to live through. We wish you all the very best and all of our love and good will is extended to you all. Watch for hopefully less significant updates in the future, like Eva spit up on her dad and it was very funny or something like that. Once again thank you all and enjoy the latest pictures.
Love to All,
Clay and Renea
