Going home.....

Tyler's settling in and everyone's doing great, so it looks like we're headed home....

I forgot what it feels like and how your eyes ache and 12, 3 & 6am--

but we've adjusted and Kate's been amazing....

Tyler Ryan 2days old All Wrapped up!
Momma and her boy!

Rauls party of 4.......

Katie actually went into labor one day before the scheduled C-section.......She started about 12:30 woke me up and we were out the door at 4:30.......

Tyler Ryan Rauls born Nov. 18th--9.44lbs
After experiencing labor, "Which sucks," says Katie we were ready for our son....

Proud dad, with his youngest son--Tyler Ryan

It hit me looking at this picture, we're a complete family now---

Rauls table for 4!!!

My Boys!

Momma's doing great, already up, showered--walking! She's probably going to go for a quick run this afternoon.......

Just like Daddy....

He likes to help and do whatever his daddy's doing.....

So here is trying to plug in his little tree into the outlet (that has child proof plugs)....

Yes, It's true......

The Rauls Family is ready for X-mas....

With our second little dude on the way next week and the weather in the 60's why not get X-mas up a ready.....

So my brother came up and helped me cause Katie's out (due to Prego) and we got it all done......

Now we just need presents (1/2 bought) and our baby!

Daddy, Mommy, Jospeh and TBD

(Michael, Jonathan, Tyler or Chase)

Lights up and on, November 15th!

Brother Sam & JR--thanks for the help!

It's Britney Spears.......or looks like her.....

This was not a set-up, for some reason JR thought we were on the cover of US

(one of those gossip mag's that somehow end up at our house--Thanks Marcy!)

I must say, the guy is a very dashing young man!

oh what a cute baby......

Someone (who will remain nameless)

thought it would be cute to get JR his own baby,

so when we have our baby etc........
Funny & cute, but deep down I like it better when he drops the baby for his train!

ummmm.......all rolled up

What are you doing in Daddy's work papers?

Awwwwwwww.......

Some of you may be recieving a photo much like this within the next couple months........

Nana goes 5K!

T minus 2weeks.....

Countdown to baby town.......2 weeks to go!

Trick or Treat.....

This was a great Halloween!

JR didn't know what he was even getting, he just knew you went to the door and someone gave you somehting, then you went to the next door.....

PLUS- it was maybe the first time he was outside, after it was dark!

We went Fireman for this year!

Dad went full fireman gear also!

Our first stop....

The Firetruck came to our subvision (it's good to know people, who know people)...

OOOOO YEAH!!! This is NICE!

Life is good, when it ends with a sucker, in the bathtub!!

What up Cuz'

Quick shout out to our littlest nephew- Jack!

JR's youngest cousin (who lives in Dexter, Mo)

strutted his stuff as a rooster! Cock-a-doodle-doo......

Hi NRG......

Paul, the owner of Hi NRG gymastics, had a "fun day" at his gym......

The same place I go for X-fit (which is a KILLER workout)

Mainly for older kids, but I took JR just to let him run around and explore.....

He had a great time crawling around, climbing on everything and running on the tumbling track....

Hi NRG, the Movie

A Brand New Saturday.....

This was the frist Saturday morning since the spring that I've NOT gone riding!

So, it was a family morning--

donuts, my wife, my baby (to be) and the boy in the back!
I'm Happy!!
