Is anyone still reading my blog?

Since I last blogged a lot has happened. The biggest event was giving birth to Davis Steven Palmer. He was born on Saturday, November 20th and he weighed 9 lbs. 1 oz. He came out screaming (louder than my other boys), but he's been a fairly quiet baby. The feeling of meeting him for the first time can't compare to anything else. It's an indescribable joy! He was scheduled to arrive Monday, but when I woke up Saturday, my water broke, so he decided it was time. I can't believe that was over 2 months ago. Some of the pictures are sideways, but I don't have the time or energy to figure out how to fix them. :)

Meeting Davis for the first time.

Daddy and Davis
The 2 big brothers with their little brother. They have been so sweet to him at home. Neither of them can get enough of him. I quickly implimented the "do not touch the baby while I'm nursing" rule.

This past weekend we traveled to Ocala to attend my sister-in-laws shower for her baby boy, scheduled to arrive in mid-March. Kate is in the middle. My mom and I are on the right, and Kate's mom and sister are on the left. Kate's sister just gave birth to her 3rd girl about a month ago. I'm looking foward to my new nephew. I have a nephew on the other side of the family, also. We like having boys if you can't tell. :)
Here's my mom holding Davis at the shower with my friend Heather's mom on the left and my best friend from elementary school on the right. Mandy is pregnant with her 3rd girl. What's with all the people having the same gender? (I can't complain, though. I love my boys!)

This past week Reba McIntyre, George Strait, and Leann Womack came to Tallahassee. We went to the concert (with Davis) and had a great time. We were in a box and I sat in the hallway most of the time though, because it was REALLY loud. But, I could see the screen well and enjoyed listening to the music. Andy and I switched off a few times so that I could go watch. I wasn't sure who I'd enjoy the most since I love them all, but I do think Reba came out on top.


Here we are at the concert.


Here's a picture of all of my boys (except for Rex, our dog).



The beginning of January we went to the Inaguaral Parade for our new Governor Rick Scott. It lasted almost 2 hours, and was one of the best parades I've gone to here in Tallahassee. There were a lot of fun things to see, and a bunch of great bands. It was during Knox's nap time, but I figured he would be okay. We NEVER miss nap time. That is sacred time in our day.
Here's Knox when the parade was starting.
Here is my friend Tara and I. She brought her 2 kids to meet us.

The elephants were one of the first things we saw. Great start to a parade!

Here is the reason for our parade....our new Governor.
This picture is for my mom. My mom and dad live close to the Villages, a retirement community south of Ocala. They always talk about how they would love to live there (one day, or now if they were old enough). These are the Village Cheerleaders. How cute are they? They even had a "coach" riding in the back of a truck in front of them, giving them directions.

Knox didn't make it. This was him most of the parade.

Here we are at our friend's wedding this past month. Davis has gotten to go to a lot of fun events since he was born. The joys of breastfeeding. :)
Here are a few more pictures of Davis. I hope you enjoyed catching up with us. Sorry it's been so long. It's been going really well being a mom of 3 boys, but blogging has been WAY down on the to do list.

Yay!! You're back!! I loved all of the pictures of Davis - he is totally adorable (as are the other boys... can't forget them!) and you look amazing, Kristen! No one would ever guess that you just had a baby! I know you're crazy busy... thanks so much for taking time to post some pictures! Miss you!
Love, Heather
