Brock is here!

Brock David Walnum was born September 23, 2008 at 7:42pm at Southern Hills Hospital.  He weighed 7 pounds 2 ounces and was 20.5" long.  He has been a relatively quite baby so far, and the girls are positively giddy about him.  We brought him home a little over 24 hours after he was born.  The labor was long compared to the girls at about 9 hours.  Both mom and baby are doing very well and are comfortably at home.

Aubrey's Birthday

Here are some pictures of Aubrey's birthday.  We had cake and ice cream at Kevin and Melissa's house due to the construction at ours.  Aubrey also had a party at Justice clothes store with some of her friends.

4D pictures of Brock

We had these done a while ago, but have been too lazy to post them.

Florida Trip

Aubrey and Dave went on a quick jaunt to Florida to use up some expiring free airline tickets. The trip started in Saint Louis with a layover. They took the train as far as time would allow and saw the arch from a distance, barely returning to the airport in time for the flight to Florida. They stayed on Key Biscayne Friday and Saturday nights. They swam in the pool and ocean, visited the Keys (Key Largo mostly), and went to Gator Park for a tour of the Everglades. As the hurricane approached, they changed their plans and drove up to Orlando early Sunday morning and stayed at a Disney World resort. They first went to the Animal Kingdom theme park, then spent 6 hours at Blizzard Beach, a water park there in Disney World. After that, they went to the Magical Kingdom for another 6 hours until it closed at 3:00 am. They then flew back home on Monday, thoroughly exhausted.
