Weekend Update!

Nathan & I got to go tubing with friends this weekend! It was a blast! It's nice to be able to relax with friends and enjoy the sunny days before they are long gone. My mom & dad are still in VA enjoying their last few days with Holden, Rachel, Riah & Cliff before returning to NE! Nathan has been hard at work fixing up his 1999 Toyota Tacoma which he hopes to sell soon. I just finished up doing some coupon-ing online and we are now headed to Walmart for groceries! Next Monday I am hosting a Thirty-One purse party! Check out their online catalog and if you would like to order something, let me know!

NEW NEPHEW

Cliff Hudson Barry

August 13, 2010

4 pounds 15 ounces

18 inches long

Nathan & I have a new nephew! Rachel was induced on Thursday, August 12th and early Friday morning after her water broke, little Cliff's heart rate dropped. As they were prepping for an emergency c-section, Rachel was losing a lot of blood. After getting Cliff out safely, it took two hours for Rachel's doctor to get her torn uterus stitched up. She lots two units of blood and had to receive a blood transfusion the next day. Despite all the complications that led to Cliff early arrival, he was perfectly fine....just small! His lungs are great and besides the possibility of jaundice, he should go home with Rachel on Tuesday, August 17th! My mom and dad are both in Virginia for the next couple weeks! Unfortunately, Nathan & I will not get to meet him in person until we travel out for Thanksgiving! But hopefully we will Skype with him before then :) Azariah is a proud big brother......can you tell?
