Pops Weekend Here

Pops came in town this weekend to finally get his chance to meet his new grandson. Of course, he fell in love instantly.

We had such a great weekend. Pops played with his favorite grandkids,

he loves getting that belly meat.

Saturday morning we all ventured out for Dylan's soccer game. He is definitely the team captain. He scored 7 out of 9 goals for the team and was the only one who really knew what was going on!

After the game we came back to Honey and Pops' house. The weather was beautiful so we just enjoyed the day outside.

The next day, Sunday, we went to the park and Grayson enjoyed his first time in the stroller. He did pretty much what he has been doing the last week, slept the entire time.

Meanwhile, Dylan and Reagan were running all through the park having fun.

Everything Dylan did, Reagan was right there to copy. Usually she just wants to swing while she is at the park, but with Dylan there she follows him around.

Reagan was getting Pops,

then Pops got her.

Dylan was trying to teach Reagan how to roll down the hill. She wasn't so sure about it at first, she didn't want to do it, but then she gave it a try. Instead of rolling she really just scooted down the hill.

Everyone was worn out, time to all go home and take a nice long nap.

We had a wonderful weekend with Pops. Thanks for coming home to see us, we love and miss you!

Comparing Birth Pictures

Reagan Marie

Grayson Paul

It's hard to tell if they will look alike or not since Reagan was 8lbs 9 oz and poor little Gray was just 6lbs 12 oz. I do think they have some similarities but I am not totally sold that he will look like Darrin as much as Reagan does. I think he is going to look more like me and she is going to look more like him. Of course, they change so much in the beginning that it makes it hard to tell. It will be interesting to see as time goes by who Grayson looks like and if the two of them look alike.

Reagan Finally Meets Her Little Brother!

We decided not to bring Reagan up to the hospital until the day we were leaving. We just thought it would be harder on her than if we just didn't see her at all. Once she saw us, it would be hard to get her to leave without throwing a huge fit, and we were unsure of how much she would really understand. So, I spent my very first 2 nights ever away from her.

Saturday my parents and sister brought her up to see us and she meet her baby brother for the first time. It was so good to see her, I was more emotional than I thought I would be. She was just so happy to see us and it seemed like she was so much bigger than I remembered!

We got Reagan a bunch of goodies to open at the hospital. We told her it was a gift from her baby brother because he was loved her and was happy she was his big sister.

Our new family of four.

Huge thank you to all our family who came together to help us take care of Reagan while we were in the hospital.

Sister - I can't thank you enough for everything you did. Taking the time off work to spend 4 days with us, driving into town, being by my side during delivery, making me look soap opera good at all times, making cookies, banners and picture collages, helping mom during the day/nights with Reagan, taking and uploading pictures and being nothing but helpful, loving and supportive.

Mom - Thank you for taking time off work to take care of Reagan. I know she loves being with her Nonna and playing together in the toy room. Thanks for rocking her to sleep and being there through the night to make sure she was okay. I could never thank you enough for all that you do for us.

Dad - Thanks for coming up to see us and always being there in the background. I know you are always just a phone call away. Especially when my car decides to die while driving down the road with 2 kids in the back seat!

Honey - Thank you so much for taking care of Reagan. I never have to worry when she is with you and I know she is always having fun. Thanks for sending pictures updating us on how she is and what y'all are doing. We are so lucky to have a special, sweet Honey like you. Someone who is always there to help and offer a hand whenever you can.

Tricia, Dustin and Lance - Thank you also for watching Reagan and letting her play with her favorite cousin. I would have loved to have been there when it was just Uncle Dustin, Uncle Lance and both kids. Especially when they thought they were going to have to change a dirty diaper! Lance, thanks for surprising us and making the drive. That is probably the one thing Darrin will remember the most. We love you guys.
