Welcome Baby Allie Barton!!


Chris and I have had a very eventful week and weekend. This past Wednesday at 2:58 our dear friends Ken and Allison Barton had their first child Alice Ann Barton aka Allie. She weighed 8 pounds, 7 ounces and was 22 inches long. We went to visit the new parents on Thursday night in the hospital and they were all doing well. Then Friday, Chris and I both took the day off to work in our yard. We planted elephant ears, red and purple verbena, hostia, knockout roses, lillies, zinnias, and put out fresh mulch. We were so proud of our job well done and we had an awesome day together! Then Saturday we just enjoyed the beautiful sunshine in our backyard and both got a nice tan or should I say we look more like Lobster's today! Since we didn't make it to the Crawfish Festival in Faunsdale we decided to the bring the Crawfish to our house. So mid afternoon we cooked Pistolettes and a Crawfish Pie and of course had a few ice cold beverages to help those little critters get down. BOY, WERE THEY YUMMY! Then Sunday we went to check on the Barton's again. They were doing great and are going to be great parents. Not much of an exciting weekend, but I just thought that I would share our nice and relaxing weekend with each of you. It is not very often that Chris and I can just spend quality time AT HOME with each other and it was very nice. I've realized that in a marriage we sometime take for granted the time we do share and sometimes need to just sit back, relax, and enjoy each other's company.

Hey Kristy, I can't get over how much this little baby looks like her Uncle Alex....maybe it's just me, but I DEFINITELY see that resemblance! She is so sweet!
