Kids!
Visiting with baby Daniel in the hospital...I was trying to talk, my voice sounds awful. He gave me a sweet smile though.
On my way home from the hospital, Collin hadn't seen me in 5 days, so all he kept saying was, "Mommy's here"... I got mixed up when I turned the camera on Mason (still on lots of painkillers!) so half of it is upside down :)

The Fourth and Final....Baby Daniel's arrival

One day shy of 37 weeks pregnant, I finally had the surprise labor that I had been wanting with our past three children. Of course, be careful what you wish for! After Daniel went into distress and other problems, I had to have a c section. Baby Daniel Knox was born 10/14/2009 at 1:18 am weighing in at 5 lbs 15 oz and was 19 inches long. I don't actually remember this picture being taken, he and I were quite out of it at the time! Luckily, he was able to fight off an infection with antibiotics, and was released from the NICU after only 6 days. I'm still recovering from the not so fun c section after I got an infection too. So our life with four kids is progressing well now, and hopefully will be back to our maximum chaos in no time. I'll try to post all the other happenings around here soon.

The Lost Dog
So Bryan ran outside to check her usual runaway spots, and she was nowhere to be found. We spent the next 3 hours searching the neighborhood, asking neighbors, driving the streets, making lost dog fliers, and calling animal shelters. For some reason Bryan decided to inspect the backside of our fence in case she had tried to get back in from one of our neighbors' yards. He began calling her name and heard a faint whimper....and this is what he found:

Our Big (little) Vacation
We stayed at the Chattanooga Choo Choo inside a real retired train car. Overall the Choo Choo is getting a little rundown, but how could you pass up staying in a train with kids? While we were in Chattanooga we also visited Rock City and The Discovery Museum, both of which were so much fun! Our last sightseeing was to Mayfield Dairies to see inside a real dairy and how ice cream was made...we sampled of course too.

The entrance of Rock City. Check out Elise's hot shades:

The Mayfield Dairy tour Papa's Boat
After we were home for a few days, Mason brought up Santa Claus and I asked him what he wanted for Christmas. He told me he wanted a big Papa boat....it might be the first year we can't deliver on a wish!
