Baby Cousin is Here!

Since my last post, all of the Houstons came down with the stomach bug.  Zack and I had it at the same time, meaning Grammy had to be called in the middle of the night to help us with the kiddos.  Halloween was a little interesting because we felt horrible but Zander still wanted to visit our neighbors to go trick or treating!  Grammy to the rescue!  I truly don't know what people do with young kids if they don't have relatives nearby to come help out when you are not 100%.  We are all back to normal and fortunately all the sickness happened a week and a half before Baby Cousin entered our world!  I did get to have extra cuddles with my boys as we were working through the "icky-ness".  Grammy gave Zack and I an afternoon movie date so we could have a little time together after "surviving" a rough week!  We saw Doctor Strange... of course it would be a Marvel movie!  We were also able to visit Great Grandma and Great Grandpa after we were vertical again!  

And without further ado... I would love to introduce you to our newest family member!  I have a NIECE!! It was so exciting to not know the gender and "patiently" await her arrival.  Linds went into labor on the evening of November 8th and Miss Emerson Leigh Kennedy arrived at 1:57 a.m. on November 10th.  Mommy definitely worked really hard to bring sweet Emerson into this world and I was so fortunate to hang out on the labor and delivery floor for about 14 hours before I was introduced to our sweet little one.  The boys (especially Zander) already love her so much and I can't wait to see how protective they are over this precious girl.  We are so excited to see all the fun the cousins will have as they get older and it is such a blessing we live so close to each other.  Enjoy these sweet pictures of my sweet niece!
