Congratulations Shannon and Chris! Hunter Reed Rhodes was born yesterday, August 23 at 12:16 pm. He is quite a big boy at 8 pounds 13 ounces and 21 inches long. Jameson and I were able to go meet our newest nephew (total number now 6) and both got to hold him during our visit. He was wide awake so we could see his blue eyes and really get to talk to him. His fingers and feet are so long! I am sure he will be tall like his dad. I can't wait to introduce him to Lucy and am so excited to see them play when they get older. They are both lucky to have a cousin so close in age to grow up with :) Best wishes to the new family and welcome Hunter!!!
Not only was Shannon and Chris' world rocked yesterday, so was the east coast's! Virginia was the epicenter of the first earthquake in Maryland for over 140 years and was felt from Georgia to Canada to Chicago. Jameson was at work and Lucy, Otis and I were at home. I first noticed a sound like a truck rolling by on the street but looked outside and saw nothing. Then the house started shaking, Otis started barking, and I was scared! I quickly grabbed Lucy and Otis and ran to the center of the house; obviously we never talked about what to do in an earthquake as I'm sure this was the exact opposite of what I should have done and run outside. Fortunately, it did not last long and no one was reported seriously injured. It was definitely something to experience but I would be perfectly fine to only experience it once!
