The newest addition!

The day after Christmas, we piled up (literally...all of the Christmas gifts, the kids, the dog...) the car and drove from Searcy, Arkansas to Westville, Florida. We left that morning early and got there right at dark...it was a LONG drive and a long day, but we all made it in one piece with hardly any tears. We played many games of cards, Super Mario Bros. on the DS download (love that, but hate getting beat by a 3 year old) and of course, all of us slept. Well all of us...except for Aaron. Aaron's older sister, Carrie and her hubby Dale, have a horse ranch in Westville....28 Miles from the Wal-Mart in Defuniak Springs, Florida. We aren't talking palm trees and beaches...we are talking woods and miles and miles of horses! Simply beautiful.

The kids were in pure kid heaven. They loved it and so did we! We had to buy the kids some tall rainboots because their property was so wet from all the rain that they had been getting. Best purchase of the whole trip! The kids played in the mud, stopped around in the fields and you can bet they were worn out every night right at dark!! We had a full day with Carrie and Dale and then the next day, Carrie went in to have their first baby!!! We were so excited!

Carrie and Dale getting ready to leave the farm to got to the hospital in Fort Walton Beach (quite a drive!) to have the baby!! She doesn't look hardly pregnant at all does she? Awesome!

Aaron's parent's with Carrie before getting into the car to go to the Hospital. We were all pretty excited!!

Aaron got to hook the car seat in....we do know how to do that at our house! It was so fun helping Carrie get ready to go to the hospital. I was so nervous for her and all the new and fun things that they are experiencing.

We spent the day at the farm playing around...She wasn't scheduled to have the baby until that evening so we had plenty of time. We took the kids to the beach, the movies and then dinner at our favorite place in Florida....SONNY'S !!

That evening when we got to the hospital...Little Savannah made her appearance for the rest of the family. She is just beautiful and I can say that because I am her AUNT!!

Savannah weighed in right at 8 pounds and looked so big already! The kids were so excited, but we couldn't see her or hold her that night so we just drove back to the farm to play with the kittens.

I still can't believe that we didn't make it home with one of these little precious kittens...we kept them with us in our little house on the farm for 4 days and then decided to let them go to some other people that wanted kittens.

The girls were not real happy with us for a few days, but really...we have enough stuff going on in our lives...I really didn't want to add a kitten to the list! Very cute though...
