Madalyn Becky Smith

Kevin Michael & Becky Kathleen Smith are proud to announce the birth of their beautiful baby girl Madalyn Becky Smith. She was born 12/20/07 at 1:24 pm weighing in at 8 lb. 2 oz and 20 inches long.

Mom and dad are exhausted but very proud of their little girl. More pictures to come as we get them!!!

Waiting for my Daddy!

I just loved this picture. Ian was so excited to see his daddy. This picture tells it all.

He's HOME!!!!

Steve came in last night and it is so good to get him here safe and sound. It was not without stress, there was a great big accident on the freeway and Brittany got stuck in traffic. She was about 20 minutes late - luckily Steve's plane was over 1/2 an hour late!! It worked out great. We waited at the closest place possible where he would come out and had a big banner and a bunch of American flags. It was great. Afterwards we stopped for dinner and came to our house for the weekend. Ian had no hesitation at all in running right up to his dad and giving him a hug. He hasn't let go yet. Brittany loves it - she won't have to do anything for Ian for quite a while now. We are so proud of him and love having him home!!!!!

I can't believe it is the same guy. . .

Well, those of you that saw Kevin at Jade's wedding know that he hadn't cut his hair since before his wedding. It was getting a bit ridiculous. Every time he came over we would offer to buzz it for him. Surprise, surprise, he finally took us up on it!! He really is a good looking kid.

Life keeps going on. . .

No pictures for now but we are moving forward. Brittany is back from Fort Bragg and she and Steve had a good visit. Steve is back in Germany for now but should be home Monday or Tuesday. Monday Alicia is having surgery to fix her broken nose and her deviated septum. She will be miserable but hopefully this will help her headaches and breathing. Becky is down to two weeks tomorrow until her due date so we are all counting down. Mom and baby are doing well. Kevin is freaking out but not too badly. Finals are this week for them so that will help to have them over with. Brandon and Andrea are doing well. We had them up for the weekend after Thanksgiving and it was a lot of fun (ok, we are boring but I enjoyed it). We planned on a quiet Thanksgiving with just Ian, Ali, Jeff and I since everyone is coming here for Christmas with Steve home and all. However, Kevin & Becky ate early at her folk's and then came and ate again at ours later that day. Brandon and Andrea came on Friday and stayed through Sunday so it was a fun weekend. Soon we will have everyone home again!!! Yeah!!!! Love to you all.
