Meeting Keirstyn...

 After several hours of waiting the night before, the kids were busting at the seams to meet their newest cousin. Emersyn even decided to skip art and opt for a trip to the hospital so they'd get to hold Keirstyn (pronounced like "pier"-styn) longer.

After an extensive hand washing session they were all set to snuggle their baby cousin...

I can't get over my kids with babies. Radley is a baby whisperer - he hasn't met a baby that doesn't instantly fall in love with him. Emersyn would take them all home and care for them like the good mommy she is and Landry is so excited to be bigger than someone. She kept patting Keirstyn's bottom and I just died right there. 

She is one lucky little lady... 

and completes this crew perfectly.

Speaking of crews... not sure she was made aware of the crazy that she was joining... and Radley is taking the increase in girl:guy ratio just fine. I think he gave up three kids ago. HA!

Ps. Keirstyn - you have to be able to follow directions on cue when it comes to pictures. Their immediate reaction to "now look at the baby" came complete with facial expressions, "ooohhhs", "ahhhhs" and endearing smiles. 

That could be because they are all completely smitten with you!

A trip around the world...

The cutest Aggies on the block had a fun adventure on campus yesterday.  Since Owen was in town, I thought that it would be the perfect outing for our crew and we had the added bonus of getting to spend the day with sweet Caroline, too! Good thing Gigi was with us or we wouldn't have been able to fit!

The kids had been looking forward to this all weekend... we are at a giant water park and they were already excited about going to campus to see "allll the Aggies". Emmy had also decided that we were taking a trip around the world. In a bus.

(Side note - if there are any secret millionaires reading this blog and want to donate a minivan to me, I will gladly accept. And yes, I love minivans.)

I think I should recreate this photo on Owen's first day as a freshman!

We made our way through Rudder Plaza and landed behind the MSC to hop onto an Aggie bus! The kids LOVE Aggie busses. They always point them out to me and ask about when they will get to ride them, so I thought it be fun to take a little spin through campus. 

(Also known as our trip around the world that planned).

Landry got voted best listener because she was the only one that sat still. Maybe it's because she is precious in every way or maybe it was fear, but either way - I'll take it!

Their favorite part was going through the big tunnel... 

We made our way back into the MSC where each kid was appropriately spoiled with one new thing.

And that was it. A fun, simple, easy morning of absolutely nothing and all kinds of everything at the same time.
