Fun Times!

Rhodes in his favorite nap position......daddy's chest

It has been a very rainy day as we are getting what is left of Hurricane Ike.  We decided it was time to pull out the play mat and let Rhodes try it out.  Not sure if he really knew what it was but it entertained him for about 10 minutes.  

Visits and Firsts

It is hard to believe that Rhodes is almost 3 weeks old.  This past week was filled with visits from out of town family and a new adventure.  Drew's mom came to stay and help for the week, which was very much appreciated.  Carolyn's Grandmoma and Aunt Carol also came to visit on their way to the east coast.  We took Rhodes to his very first Texas High School football game.  Even though he slept through the game we know he enjoyed it and is already looking forward to his next game.  He also ventured out to the MAC store today.  Drew is trying to teach him the important things in life..... football and technology gadgets.

Such a proud Grandmother!

The swing is where he likes to spend a lot of his time during the day.

Rhodes cheering on the Baylor Bears in their season opener.  He wasn't able to stay awake during the game because it was past his bedtime.  He hopes to go to some of the games this year when he gets a little bit bigger.

"Aunt" Jancy came to visit me.  

1 Week Old

' For this child I prayed, and the Lord has granted my petition made to him' 1 Samuel 1:27

Aunt Cathy has been here to help get Rhodes on a schedule so he won't pull too many "All-Nighters" It has also been fun and very helpful watching her use her nursing skills. We have loved having her here and will be so sad when she leaves to go back to Alabama.

Rebel thinks Rhodes is his baby and is very attentive to all of his needs.

It is so hard to believe that Rhodes is 1 week old today. He is already changing so much as we continue to fall more and more in love with him each day. We are constantly thanking God for this blessing.

First bath time with Rhodes!!!
