4th of July

We went to the Tarrytown parade in the morning. It was 15 minutes long which was awesome and the kids got plenty of candy to make them happy. For lunch we had to Phil's icehouse for burgers and root beer. 

Relax most today the Barlow's came over for pizza dinner and to hang out.then we walked down to the Marbridge to watch the fireworks over Lady Bird Lake. It was a longer walk than we thought but everyone had a lot of fun. 

We kept hoping all day that Grace was coming for her holiday birthday but she did not make an appearance. Still it was a really fun day and glad the Barlow's could come down too!

Grace Arwen

Grace was born July 8, 2015 at 3:03 am. She was 9 lbs 6 oz and 21 inches long. Labor was long and hard. First six hours really random contractions and still not sure if true labor. Last six hours very rough, back labor, and just hard. 

She wasn't breathing on her own when she came out so needed some resuscitation. Very scary moment but she perked right up and is doing great. 

So happy she is here with us now. We have been excited for our baby Grace to join our family.
