Canaan and his Girlfriend

Canaan has a new girlfriend, Miley. She is the babysitter's daughter. Apparently they have gotten to know each other well in the year they have been together. I guess this time the went to a drive in or something. The moment couldn't be passed up!! Someone better keep and eye on these two!!

Catching Up

We hope everyone is doing well. We have been very busy around here recently. With 4 children and 2 in diapers, you gotta understand. But we would not trade it for anything. Maddox is now 8 weeks old. He is starting to smile and coo a lot. Canaan really loves on him and checks on Maddox any time he makes a noise. All the kids love him and have been a great help!! Canaan seems to be experimenting with temper-tantrums a bit. I think he is starting to understand they don't help though. Besides that not too much more. Enjoy your summer, and enjoy the pictures.

Music Man

Canaan really loves his music and loves to dance. Whenever he plays these little guys, he gets moving and has a blast.

Brothers Love

Canaan has really taken to his baby brother. Every time Maddox squeaks, Canaan goes and checks on him, often bringing a pacifier or bottle. He also wants to hold him often, and gives him kisses all the time. Canaan is being really gentle, and is becoming a wonderful big brother.

New Guy is here

On Thursday, May 14, 2009 at 3:29 p.m. we welcomed Maddox Verdell into the world. There were no complications, and mother and baby are doing great! They came home on Saturday! He was 19.5 inches, 7lbs, 2oz.

Trying this out

Well we are going to try and use this site to keep everyone updated. Lisa is about ready to pop and has been on bed rest for a couple weeks. She is officially due May 24, but we are sure she will go before then. We are expecting another boy, and going to name him Maddox. Everyone else is healthy and doing fine.

With love,

Bill, Lisa, Tatum, Anthony, Canaan and Maddox

Tatum in the relay race

Tatum also participated in the relay race. By the way, her team was wearing yellow and Tatum ran the 3rd leg of the race. Her team came in second, but still did a great job!!

Tatum won the ball throw!!

Tatum had a track meet this weekend. She participated in the ball throw. The numbers you hear Bill spitting out are her distances. She won with a 123.1 foot toss. The next closest competitor we heard to her was 112 feet.

Giving it a try

I am going to try this. Like other family members, it may be a bit easier to keep everyone up to date on the happenings here. Let's hope so.
