Our new nephew, Shane

We are excited to announce the birth of our nephew, Shane Eugene White, born on May 23rd. He was 6lbs 13oz, 20in long. When we first saw pictures, Kyle's immediate response was that he looks exactly like Kolby did as a baby. We look forward to meeting him. Congratulations, Lindsay and Kolby! He is precious!

Weekend in Gruene

We had a great relaxing weekend in Gruene, TX - a small historic town in the New Braunfels area. We have visited the town before as part of day trips to float the Guadalupe River in the summertime, but this time we were able to explore more of the area. The weather could not have been better, but that meant that it was a little cool to float the chilly river. We'll have to go back sometime this summer. It was also really nice to spend some time with Melanie's parents, who were also there to celebrate their 34th wedding anniversary. (that was just a coincidence)

Puppy Update

We haven't posted pictures of Acie and Abbey in a while, so here are some that show how big they are getting. They now weigh about 35 pounds and are 6 months old. Not sure what that calculates to be in dog years, but we are convinced they are going through adolescence. They have been more trouble lately - mainly since they have found a way to get out of the backyard 6 or 7 times in the last couple of weeks, despite our attempts to barricade the gate and use chicken wire to keep them in. Fortunately, they never go far when they escape. Most days we come home to find them playing in our driveway, or they go next door to get dog treats. Other than that, they have been lots of fun.
Here they are anxiously waiting to be fed.

This is Acie
