Here it goes!

So I have been putting off blogging, it downright intimidates me-but I have come to the conclusion that this must be the best way to keep family and friends "posted" on the lives of Los Robinsons (that means, "The Robinsons" as Porter would quip.) The past 1 1/2 months have been a whirlwind- beginning with the birth of our first born and new love, Rhett, and all adventures / adjustments that followed. From an October birth, visits from loved ones from South Carolina and our family nearby, celebrating birthdays and holidays and having fun at home: here is what we have been up to in a barrage of photos!

Trying to smile for the camera between contractions the evening of October 18th...

William Rhett arrives on October 19th with an arm stretched to his mom- oh this was my favorite moment of the whole birth!

Could not have made it through the delivery without my hubby, my coach!

First family photo, and yes I know...the eyebrows..

Proud grandparents, siblings and a few of our friends that came to visit:

Nana anxiously waiting for her first grandson!

Rhett's great grandmother who flew all the way to Texas just to hold and rock her grandson to sleep!

Porter's parents came for the birth and are posing with him with the pumpkin costume they brought!

Last but not least... snapshots some of my favorite moments of our first few weeks home...
