Our Remodeling Project

Everyone lately who has asked us, "What are you doing?" has heard the same answers: "Working on the kitchen!" or "Trying to put the house back together!" While we were finishing the kitchen, we had the "kitchen" in the dining room and the "dining room" in the living room. We are finally finished with the kitchen, except some molding and finishing touches. Richard also repainted the dining room, hall, and one of the kids' bedrooms. Here are some pictures of the finished work:

What's Missing?

Lauren lost her first tooth this past weekend while we were in Dallas. She was so excited that the tooth fairy was able to find her at the hotel. Then tonight she lost the other bottom front tooth.

Little Glow Worm

Robyn's bilirubin levels went back up again. They wrapped her in a bili blanket last night and today until her levels went down. They were able to take her home tonight, but they have to go back tomorrow to see if she is getting jaundiced again.

Robyn

Here are a few more pictures of Robyn. She was a little jaundiced, so we sat her in the window sill behind the couch to get some sun. She is such a pretty baby!
















Big brother is so proud of his baby sister. He was the first to hold her and was able to help give her first bath.














Shhh... the princess is sleeping!



















WOW! Look at these long feet! I bet she is going to be tall like her momma.

Welcome, Robyn!

The newest member of the family is here! Rebecca came to the hospital about 10:30a.m. yesterday. Robyn Danielle Lucius was born at 9:49p.m. by c-section on July 29th(Her great-grandmother's birthday!) She weighed 6lbs and 7oz and was 20" long. Mom and baby are doing great. We thank the Lord for her safe arrival and pray for a speedy recovery.

Here are a few more pictures from inside the hotel:

There are lots of trains around the hotel. Jack would love them!




























There are entertainers performing in the courtyard all the time. I thought this little monkey was cute.
