Tytan Dallas Wright Arrives!

Last Thursday night after I got home from work...Lizzy started having contractions and they kept coming! Finally at 2AM we convinced them to go over and get checked. She didn't want to get sent home again...so she was a bit hesitant. When they got there she was dilated to a 4+ and they kept her! They were pretty excited! The gave her the epidural and her IV and then let her go to sleep. We go there about 5:30 -I couldn't wait any longer and she was just laboring away ... sound asleep! Who knew you could have a baby like that?
At 7:45 her doctor came on duty and he came in just as her water broke. They had her push for about 45 mins and Mr Tytan arrived! It was a great experience and Lizzy did a great job!

Here they are ready to go!

He's HERE!

7 lbs and 20 inches long! A perfect size!

Proud papa Dallas!

We were exhausted once again...but grateful and feeling so blessed!

One More Night in the NICU!


Thursday night was the turning point for our Maxwell! A really special nurse at the hospital helped Matt and Angie finally figure out what would help him to eat better! Bingo! One more day..and he was HOME! Matt rented a room for them at the hospital so they could be there for all the feedings around the clock and on Saturday afternoon they were able to bring him home!

Angie and Sadie snuggling in between Max's feedings!

The nurses "tricked out" his bassinet! It was cool!

Our Max was sleeping in fine style!

Miss America Party

These little girls have a crazy granny! We had our Miss America party on Saturday night! It was really fun! This is the first year they have all been old enough to get it! It was complete with crowns and yummy treats! They dressed up and really enjoyed the event...not so much the pageant...but for sure the treats and crowns!
Last year Lizzy and I were in Vegas for Miss America! It was a fun week...and we had a blast...but being with these tiny little ladies is my favorite!

They thought up this pose...

Chocolate covered strawberries and Cupcakes! Brig was all about the food! A typical little guy!

Audrey is loving this frosting!

Matt is mocking me... crown and all! (in the nicest possible way)

Millie has to have her crown just perfect!

Posing again for Granny!

Something I LOVE!


We are a "shoeless" home... when the kids come over the first thing they do is kick off their shoes and throw them in the basket in the front hall! This mess makes me so happy because it means my kids and grandkids are HOME! Sometimes there are so many shoes that you can hardly walk through the front hall! All the better for ME!
