Meeting our new sister

Homecoming



So glad to be home. Ariel is thrilled with her new baby doll and wants to help Mom with everything. Her face reflects how she feels about Grandpa's efforts to keep her from being on top of Mom and sister 24/7.

Little Miss Marion

After 2 hours of labor, Daddy delivered a healthy baby girl. She weighs 7 lbs 11 ozs and is 20 inches long. She was born @ 12:49 PM CDT. Mother & daughter are both great.

Broken Water

lisa awoke to a wet bed last night. Her water had broken without much for contractions. We are now at the hospital getting labor started. Results pending...

Isaac's Baptism

June 21st Isaac celebrated his birthday and baptism.

Grandpa Hawkes made the journey out to the midwest for this milestone in Isaac's life. It was a wonderful day!

Rest & Relaxation in California

Half way through our week-long layover in California, I discovered that my girlfriend, Megan, and her kids were there for a visit. We hooked up at the beach one day. We met up at Cardiff-by-the-Sea.
While we got caught up on each other's life, our kids played together.

Ariel and Logan enjoyed splashing in the cold water.

Isaac and Lucas built a mighty fortress sandcastle. . .

...which was soon under assault from the waves.

Guess who won.

So they built a bigger, stronger castle.

I enjoyed watching them work together as much as they enjoyed doing it.

Just when they thought their stronghold would protect their treasures...
Mother Nature proved them wrong again.
The princess thought the valiant knights had built her a hot tub.

Happy Birthday, Lisa

Thanks for 29+ wonderful years. We love you, your family
