Meet David Edward Lee

We are overjoyed to introduce to you David Edward Lee. He was born May 26, 2009 at 1:04 pm measuring 6lbs 11oz and 21 inches long. All are doing well.

David only weighed one ounce more than Alex, but is almost 2 inches longer. He seems so skinny. Chris' mom says he looks like Chris did when he was born with long arms and legs. Despite his length, he looks so much like Alex did when she was born!

"What have I got myself into out here?" Yes, he has a dimpled chin like Daddy and Alex.

Jumping at the Greek Food Festival

"I love to jump!"

Notice the bandaid on her knee. So far, she has busted the same knee open to blood 5 times in the last week!

Daddy and Alex at the top of slide. Alex wanted to go down by herself once they got up there.

"It sure is funny watching daddy slide down the kiddie slide."

Alex did not want to sit for a pic while lil Reagan and Wendy were playing. We had a great time at the Greek Food Festival with good friends, good entertainment, and good food!

Alex and Reagan playing at our picnic in the park today.

Kris Allen Day

What a fun Friday we had yesterday showing our American Idol/Kris Allen spirit! Little Rock named Friday Kris Allen Day in honor of him making it to the top 3 on American Idol. Since American Idol contender and Arkansas native Kris Allen made it to the top 3, the day was full of festivities welcoming him home for a brief visit. He made his rounds for a concert in Little Rock and then to Conway (30 min away) where he lives and goes to college. And yes, we went to it all!

Mommy and Alex enjoying the Kris Allen/American Idol festivities at his concert in downtown Little Rock.

We parked our strollers along with many others in the grassy area near the back of the amphitheater for the kids to have room and us picnic. We had a good time, but were a bit far from the stage. For Alex's first concert, I think she would have enjoyed the "concert" part more if she could have seen Kris Allen on stage.

Becky, Laura, Elizabeth, Iris and me. Becky was hosting a girls' night at her house, but moved it to Conway when Kris Allen made it to the top 3 which brought him home for a parade and concert. It was a last minute escape for me to get to go to Conway, (thankfully Chad let Chris off early to help - Thanks Chad!!!), but I was so thankful to get to go as we had a great time! Enjoying my "freedom" before nursing starts up again with lil David. :)

Kris and his wife in the Conway parade

Concert in downtown Conway. We were a good distance from the stage and only saw a portion of the screen, but we still had fun. Great atmosphere! and surprisingly, the concert was opened in prayer as Kris Allen is grounded in his faith.

We ended our girls' night at Cheers for dinner. What a great night! I have not done anything like this in a while. I felt like we were in college! For more pics, go to The How or Townsend Family link on the side which is where I got some of my pics from. Thanks, girls! :)

Finally, if you are not an American Idol fan, please just watch and vote for Kris Allen the next 2 weeks. :)

Baby Boy's Name and Room

Most of you know our baby boy's name as we have told everyone who asked, but I did not want to post it until I finished painting a canvas for his room. So, the final touches were complete recently and hung on the wall today. :) David Edward Lee is our baby boy's name. We have always liked the name David and even more after researching it. Edward is Chris' middle name as well as his dad's and granddad's.

This is my first canvas to ever paint. Of course, it is amateur, but I enjoyed this new endeavor. Excuse the flash...every angle I tried to take a picture from flashed like this because of the clear coat I put over the painting.

I painted the letters and glued them on to create a 3D look. And please know that we used some special Amazing Goop glue to prevent any letters from falling off. Thanks Ashley for the checkerboard tip on the edges.

David's room and bedding has a safari theme and made by the same company of Alex's. She had a safari theme with animals and daisies in girly colors.

One of the main reasons I liked the animals is because I remembered how neat it was when Alex was so little and could look at the animals on her bumper pad. She would smile, coo, and talk to them. We loved watching her interact with them which was a bonus because I did not want animals for her initially, just daisies. As you can see, David's bumper pad has animals for him as well.

My nursing nook. We are still undecided about leaving the painting above the love seat. It looks so small on that wall so we might put the wall hanging (see below) on that wall instead.

This is our make shift changing table and dresser. It was a hand me down to Chris' brother in law and then he gave it to Chris when he was in high school. We detached the hutch/book shelf and Chris attached a mirror to it this weekend. Thanks Craig! I bet you had no idea this desk would eventually become a needed versatile furniture piece in a baby's room.

The wall hanging that we may put over the love seat instead of the painting. Any suggestions...painting or wall hanging?
