Slight Detour Home

...Just when you thought we'd be headed back home, we set out for more. Sunday, we left Austin and headed for NB, home of the Schlitterbahn. We just never get to see the Kyle's anymore.
With a house of 5 kids 6 years and under, who can blame them? We were just too close not to take a slight detour their direction.

Baker is their newest addition, only 7 weeks old. Momma is a SAHM and has a little help during the day. She says she just feels like she was meant for this. I believe it.I asked Brett how she felt about having all these boys around, and she just let out a BIG sigh. She is quite happy to have another girl around and is looking forward to her little sister growing up.

Contrarily, as she played quietly, the boys ran around turning over rocks to find geckos and spraying the water hose on any and everything.Now, I don't mean to choose favorites, but Cannen, he's my boy.
D and I are his Godparents, although not sure we are deserving of that title.
Know that we love, love those Kyle's...each and every one of them (did I mention there are 7!). Catcher, although the youngest of the boys at 18 months, is tough as nails. He got sprayed and pushed around, but held his own so well.

It was soooo hot, we headed inside after a while. Reece's cheeks were as red as a tomato. Mmmmmm, tomatoes.

The big leopard chair seems to be a favorite spot amongst the kiddos. At some point, each of them used the ottoman as a personal trampoline. Caught a moment when Cannen and his Daddy were playing on it.Cannen and 'Aunt' Sundee had some sweet time too. He sat in my lap and pushed the shutter button on my camera, giggling after each shot. It didn't matter what was in the frame, he just laughed and thought he was pretty funny. I did too.

A piano. That is one loud toy in a household of 7. Cannen was reminded several times about using 1 finger when he played. And when he did, it was quite a sweet picture...So glad we got to see them. I truly, truly hope we can be back really soon to visit longer. Love, love you all. Maybe Wurstfest?

The gecko / lizard rocks! I also really like to one of Brett & Cannen on the piano. They seem like a real sweet family. I cannot believe there are 7. You have to be wired for that life. LY.
