It's been more than a month since I last posted, so there's lots to post. THe biggest thing that's happened since the last post is that we are now in the USA! It took us a lay over in Houston, but we're here. We've been going non-stop since we arrived. The first week we spend just getting moved in. A wonderful man in our church is letting us live in a house that he owns. It is perfect for us. Landon and Patrick have their own room and the yard is HUGE. Landon wakes up asking to go outside. I think he'd sleep out there if we let him:) The next week we spent in Gustav's aftermath. We weathered Gustav (the hurricane) in Baton Rouge with my parents and then returned to Alex. My brother and sister-in-law were without power for several days, so they lived with us about a week. Our third week was spent adjusting back to our normal stuff and packing to go on vacation with my family. We went to Broken Bow, OK. It was a wonderful trip and Landon loved the outdoors!! Following are pictures from the past four weeks.

Over Labor Day (and just before Gustav hit) we went to visit my parents. They raise cattle, so Landon got to see more tractors than his little heart could imagine. He was in heaven just climbing from one to another.

With Gustav, Landon learned about rain. He liked being out in it, but hated water in his shoes. He preferred to walk around bare footed.

A little bit of what Gustav left behind at mom and dads. This is one of 4 trees that fell. THe other didn't do so much damage.

A few pictures of Patrick...We can't decide who he looks like. He doesn't look like Landon anymore. A couple of people have said that he looks like my dad. Patrick really is the sweetest baby. He's always got a smile for you and just last night started laughing out loud. HE's turned into a great traveler, too.

He has no trouble getting his thumb in his mouth

THis was one of the things Landon loved doing at our cabin in OK.

The outdoor activities pretty much centered around throwing rocks in the water, but we were able to get in a couple of hikes. Everything was so beautiful!

Scott and I took a little canoe trip on afternoon. He fished and I paddled.

Landon has started fake laughing. It's hilarious because he just keeps doing it.

As I'm typing and adding pictures, I'm realizing that I don't have pictures with any of the Byrds. I've been terrible about having my camera with me! I know that Jennifer (sister-in-law) has taken pictures, so when I get them from her, I"ll post those. THere are some great ones with LAndon 'chopping' trees with a chainsaw!

Hey guys --looks like you are having such a great time. We sure miss you though!! I loved the picture of Landon on the tractor. I can just imagine him with pockets full of worms and rocks swinging his little legs. Such a boy!
