Elephant Butte Lake, NM

We had such a great time on the lake! The five of us rented a pontoon for a few hours. Kevin let the girls lead the way at times. It was the perfect way to spend his last Sunday of no work for awhile! Going out on the pontoon made both of us want one, so of course, Kevin has started looking into it. I am not too sure if Bre enjoyed the boat more or taking pictures! She had so much fun taking pics with my camera.

Can you tell that Caitlin is enjoying herself?

On the way to Elephant Butte, NM

We spent the day together driving through a small part of New Mexico, ending up about two hours away from our house, in Elephant Butte. Elephant Butte Lake is the largest in NM, right in the middle of the desert!

The Border

We decided to just get out for awhile and drive around the west side of El Paso and into New Mexico. We ended up the Santa Theresa Border going into Mexico. We thought we would take some pictures to show the border. This is not a busy one, so there was not too much to look at.

Completion of Yard!

Kevin did an amazing job at completing the yard. It looks great. The girls love playing outside more now than ever!

El Paso Zoo

We took the kids to the zoo with their Grannie in El Paso while she was here visiting all of us! The girls had fun looking at the animals, the best part had to be the sea lions. Caitlin and Breanna had one following them. It was a little small for us, considering we are all use to the Atlanta Zoo, but it was worth taking the kids to.

Around the House

Kevin bought me a new camera as an early birthday present since he will not be here when the day actually comes. He played with the camera for awhile in the house once we got home. Thank you so much for the camera, I love it!

End of March

The first week of being home with Nicholas was great! He wakes up once or twice a night and only cries when he is hungry or being changed. Other than that, Nick is normally pretty quiet. The girls are great with him, both always wanting to hold him and be around him. We are so glad they have taken to him and not showed signs of jealousy. Britt's recovery has been hard. There is not time to sit and relax when there are other children in the house. All in all though, things are great.

Yardwork!

Kevin decided to spend his week of leave after we were released from the hospital working on the yard! He did such an amazing job!!!
