Ten years ago today...

I went to Homecoming with Mat's best friend Billy. I had just broken up with my boyfriend (who refused to attend any school sponsored dance), and Mat already had a date for the dance.

Sneaky Mat decided that Billy and I should go together- just as friends. (Mat had ulterior motives!) We ended up ditching our dates and spending most of the dance together. Luckily for us, our dates were great friends and understood!

I'm so glad I've had the last 10 years with Mat! I'm a lucky girl.

Happy Halloween!

Last night, we celebrated our third annual Pumpkinfest with the Baileys. (Things were very different this year since we added a few babies to the mix!) We ate pumpkin bread and roasted pumpkin seeds, and Mat and Chad carved some great looking pumpkins.

Today, the Tipps came over to spend some time with us and see Levi again. Mat figured out this morning that Levi loves this carrier. He fell asleep while Mat worked around the house. We spent most of the afternoon and evening doing this:

Mat said he couldn't think of anything else he'd rather do than sit with his son and dog and flip between college football games and world series baseball. We did dress Levi up for the occasion though.

I think he's an adorable little skeleton! Happy Halloween!

1st Dr. Appointment

Levi had his first outing today to visit the doctor. We loved Dr. Spellings, and she said he looked great. He is making good progress gaining weight to be back at his birth weight. (I would hope so considering how often he likes to eat!) He weighed 6 lbs. 5 oz. He is in the 25% for his weight and length, and his head is in the 10%.

In the doctor's words, he's perfect- Mat and I agree. :)

We brought Levi home from the hospital yesterday, and it is good to be home! We introduced him to George, but George didn't get much of a chance to investigate. I'm sure after hearing Levi cry all night long he has figured out that something has changed around here!

We're sitting here right now watching a video my mom had made of all the film from when I was a baby. It's a strange feeling to be watching these videos while I hold my own baby!

We are loving having Levi home with us!

Levi James Kelso

He's here! Levi was born at 8:05 p.m. He is 6 lbs. 13 oz. and 19.5 inches long. Everyone is doing well! Updates with pictures coming soon.

All my bags are packed...

I'm ready to go! Actually, my bags have been packed for a few weeks now, but unfortunately Baby Kelso has not been ready to make his appearance. The closets have been cleaned out, the laundry is done, George has had a bath, and the house is clean. (Mat has been working hard today!)

We are going in to the hospital tomorrow morning at 5 a.m. to be induced. I'm pretty sure it won't be hard for me to get up because I'm not sure I'll be able to sleep. (I know I should, I just don't know if I will...) :) I can't believe we will finally meet him tomorrow! We're very excited, and we will update at some point soon with pictures of our little guy.
