Halloween 2008

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!

This year Grayson decided that he wanted to be a cowboy. Our only challenge is trying to get him to keep his cowboy hat on! He does not like wearing hats nor does he like for anybody else to wear hats. Mary Gibson is our newest little pumpkin and wears the costume well! Hopefully tonight when we get ready to go Trick or Treating we can get a picture of the two kiddos together :)

October Beach Trip

Last week we went to Seacrest, Florida for vacation. On the way there we were stuck in traffic for an hour on the Mobile Bay bridge. Grayson thought it was funny as you can see below. Yet momma and Mary Gibson thought otherwise as they stayed in the car. While at the beach Grayson was frustrated that the ocean did not follow his order to come fit into his beach bucket. So he gave orders for Daddy to run back and forth bringing the water to his sand castle. As he poured the water on the sand, he kept wondering where the water went. And of course Mary Gibson enjoyed herself as she watched Grayson run around like a crazy man.

October Fest in the Greene house

This year we tried to continue our pumpkin tradition. Boy how things can change in a year! As you can tell it did not work that well. Grayson went crazy; and Mary Gibson thought we were abandoning her. In the third pic down you can see Grayson last fall, when he thought sitting in the pumpkin was cool!

September Pics

In the following pics Mary Gibson is two weeks old getting her first bath at home; Grayson plays with the neighbor's animals, and catches a fish with Chad Yoes' kids at Percy Quinn Lake.

First Post on New Blog!!!

Mary Gibson Greene was born on her due date; Tuesday September 16, 2008 at 4:53 a.m. She was 20 1/2 inches long, weighing 7 lbs. 2 ounces with a head full of dark hair, and ready to embrace the world! And she was delighted to know that her southern charm sparkled through with her double name: Mary Gibson.

On Monday night about 9:00 Katy started having contraction pains, yet we thought they were painful "Braxton Hicks" contractions. (i.e. false labor) But at 12:30 that night we suddenly knew they were for real. We quickly packed bags, loaded up the car, and brought Grayson with us. The full-moon night is not only known to bring mothers into labor, but it also enables deer to feed during the night. So after dodging two deer on the country road, with hazard lights flashing, we dropped off Grayson at his grandmother's house and arrived at the hospital at 2:30. We soon realized that it would not be much longer, for the baby was quickly coming into position. At 4:45 Katy began pushing. She pushed twice. And Mary Gibson came at 4:53 a.m.























This is Mary Gibson's 1st week home.
