Our good friends from New Braunfels, RC and Susan Irwin, recently paid us a visit. We call them the kids' "honorary grandparents"--they are so sweet to us and our children, and we miss them a lot! RC and Bryan tried out the Wii while waiting on us girls to get ready for church.
We recently signed Callie up for softball, so Daddy has been practicing with her often. She is actually really good at hitting the ball--but needs some real help with the fielding skills!! Jack always wants to participate, too; and he's not bad!
Jack and I recently enjoyed a trip to the Children's Museum in Houston. It is pretty big, and lots of neat things to do, including painting your own face! Jack did a Tiger--did a pretty good job, huh?! He went with me to my doctor's appointment after our outing, where he truly thought Dr. Gei was going to "take Macie out" that day!! He was pretty disappointed when I told him she definitely has to stay for a while longer.
We had decided on a name, and have decided to go ahead and share it. This is quite unusual for us, as with the first 2, we had several choices, but couldn't settle on one until we saw her/his face. This time, it just clicked. Her name is Macie Rae Hanna! My middle name is Rae, as is my Dad's (though his is spelled Ray). These are some of my ultrasound pics I scanned in. These are sometimes hard to tell...the 3-D one is a head-on view of her, all snuggled into a ball; with her hands up in front of her bent-down head, and her little feet folded up. The regular ultrasound pic is her profile--head on the right, hand and foot up in the air.
