Well, I've been looking online at everything having to do with Gustav (who is currently a category 4 hurricane, boo). There was a link to see the names picked out for potential Atlantic hurricanes for the 2008 season. Guess what name is on the list....KYLE! He is next after Ike and Josephine. Of course I hope that if he does become a storm that he will be "nice" and will not do any damage.
As far as our plans go, we are staying put for right now. There are no plans for Galveston to be evacuated (as of today). The weather is beautiful and sunny and we are taking advantage of it and cooking out.
I hope everyone has a great holiday weekend. (I promise to get pictures up soon!!!)

Hurricane Gustav
He looks like he may be headed right toward Galveston. No matter where he hits, we'll probably get some nasty weather.
Greg really wants me to pack up later this weekend and head to Dallas with Kyle and Sophie. I'd be fine with that as long as he was with me, but he has finals. The last one (Edouard, which was really just a light rain and some wind) came right when Greg had mid-terms. Now Gustav may show up during finals. Lovely.
It's just so hard travelling with a baby. He is great in the car, but that drive is not a short one. I know that it will be fine, but I'm a planner and I need more notice (especially having to pack for a 7-month-old). I usually fill my SUV to the roof with miscellaneous baby gear.
We'll see what happens in the next few days, but I think it's pretty much a given that at least 3/4 of this family will take a road trip. I know Greg will be fine, but I guess it's just my mama-bear instincts that want to keep us all together.
I'll keep y'all posted.
Oh, and Happy 7 month Birthday to Kyle (I'll post some pics later today) and Happy 25th Birthday to Clayton!

Getting Started
Well, I thought I'd try this blogging thing. I intend to update this several times a week with pictures of Kyle and little blurbs about his day-to-day activities. I guess it is also a place for me to ramble a little about how humid it is in Galveston or how horrible the mosquitoes are. The posts may seem disjointed or random, but keep in mind who is typing.....
He is currently napping in his swing (where else?) and I am not in the mood to do any housework (surprise, surprise).
I can't believe that my little boy will be 7-months-old tomorrow. I remember that first car ride home from the hospital, so proud and terrified at the same time. My sweet, little baby, so tiny in that little infant carrier. He's now my sweet, big baby who has now moved into his convertible car seat.
I'm still proud and terrified. I don't think that will ever change.
He wants to crawl so badly. He'll get there (probably when Greg and I are on our cruise next weekend). I'm so excited about the cruise, but I'm so scared to leave him. He will be in wonderful hands (Mom and Meme's), but I have this irrational fear that he will forget me. He is my little appendage after all. It will be good for all of us.
Well, I'm all done with this first blog. It wasn't too painful. Let's see if I can keep it up. I'll post a few pics of Kyle and try to get some new ones up soon!
