Robin is in her new house, Rylan had surgery (tonsils and adnoids removed), Thanksgiving, Christmas, & New Years have all passed. Hana had tubes put in her ears. Shelby is growing up way too fast. We all hope that 2010 has less funerals than 2009 had. It was a rough year in that catagory for us. We are blessed with the health of our children and grandchildren. Will post pictures soon.

Just catching up

Regan & Rylan in Robin's new tub. It was fun at first, then there got to be too many bubbles for Rylan. She didn't like them growing higher and higher. Landon just chillin at Mamaw's house and hanging out with Papaw. Landon is 5 weeks in this picture.

Now we have seven

Is this a crew or what? Madison will be 7 in Nov., Annabell was 1 in April, Reagan will be 8 in Nov. Shelby was 11 in March, Landon is 2 wks. Hana and Rylan are both 5. We are very proud of all of them. This was taken at Dana's house during Hana's 5th birthday party.

First Grandson

Landon Matthew Dickens was born Aug. 13th at 8:50 P.M. 8lbs 9 oz and 21" long. Not sure where the size comes from but he is beautiful and we are keeping him. Looks like he is sticking his tongue out at his Dad. Mom was still in recovery when the picture was taken but we will post more after our visit this evening.

Back to Work

Our first day back to work was Aug. 3rd. It was not a good day. A very good friend passed away today in his office. There were only three of us here with him. It takes a special person to be in the life saving profession. I am not one of them. It was the longest 15 minutes of my life.

No new pictures. We have been busy working on Robin's new house. She is very close to moving in. The pictures that we have been taking are of the little things. Staining cabinets, crown moulding, closet doors, and base boards. Kind of boring to most but, monumental to us.

Galveston Vacation

We spent 5 days at a beach house in Galveston. It was wonderful. We went to the Rainforest Cafe for Robin 's 30th birthday. Here are a few pictures.

Rylan's 5th Birthday

Since Rylan was a butterfly in her K4 program she wants everything to be butterflies. Her party theme was butterflies. Aunt Crystal made the cake. Rylan got out of the pool long enough to blow out the candle and open her presents. She had a lot of fun with her friends and family. The last picture is Reagan and Shelby getting ready for the party. Actually they are waiting to get in the pool.
