It's been too long since I've written on here.

On March 10, 2010, the newest blessing in my life was born: Cody Austin. It's been quite a transition for all of us getting used to another person in our family but we've come along well.

This past week, the four of us went to Dallas, Texas to visit some family. We stayed with cousin Don and his family over the weekend and with cousin Diane on Monday. We saw a whole bunch of cousins: Myron, little Myron, Sarah, Don, Lexy and Kay, David and Vanessa, Diane and Tack, and Carter, Ruthanne, Teddy, Sam and Josh, as well as aunt Libby, Aunt Jimmie and Uncle Doyle. That was the first time they met Calvin and Cody.

Both boys were very well behaved. Both aunt Libby and aunt Jimmie cried when holding Cody. They miss their sister, Wanda, who was Calvin and Cody's grandma.

The trip took us about 20 hours over 2 days each way. The boys did wonderfully in the car. Cody slept a good portion of the time. Upon arriving in Texas, Calvin learned the words BIG and orange and we were able to then point out the Big Trucks, Trains (most of them were orange), cows and horses with Calvin. We sometimes counted the Big Trucks because there were so many of them! All in all, it was a good trip for all four of us.
