Ryne Michelle Gosdin

This past Tues. (5-26-09) I embarrassingly passed out at Cantley's t-ball game. Thanks to that, we delivered our newest family member the next day. Ryne was born at 6:55 on Wednesday, May 27, 2009. She weighed 7 bls. 9 oz. and was 19 inches long. She was very healthy and ready to enter the world. The delivery went great, besides the pain =) and we all left the hospital when Ryne was only 24 hours old! We are doing fine at home, just tired...as any of you with kids can understand. Cantley is adjusting well most of the time. Each day is better for her and she is taking on her big sister duties with pride. Below are a few pics of Ryne. I will try to update more later on!

Just home from the hospital!

Ryne meeting her cousin Jackson and her namesake,
Michelle Cantley Mills, aka Aunt Sister!

Just born and being weighed-they rounded up,

but Jonathan wanted to be exact on her weight.

Dress Rehearsal

Cantley will have her very first dance recital tonight. Her dance studio is putting on a ballet of Alice in Wonderland. Her class, see pic below, are the teacups in the very unbirthday scene. If you haven't seen Alice in a while, that is part of the Mad Hatter's Tea Party. If you know Cantley-this is a BIG deal for her to be part of a tea party. As I type this, she is playing tea party with her Bada. She also received her first trophy-ever-for being a first year dancer. She was so proud and didn't understand why she didn't need to dance with it. She has made some great friends from her class and we hope to dance with them again next year! I hope to put some video up of her performance very soon!

One more Dragon Update

So we had an exciting run, but lost in the semi-finals of the state tourney. The team is really proud to say they were one of the top 4 teams in 3A in the state. Nothing to be ashamed of at all! Now that baseball is over, it's on to recital! We are practicing every night this week. The recital is Saturday and hopefully after that things will really slow down here until the baby comes.

We'll update after recital!

Dragon Baseball News

I wanted to give an update to everyone on our baseball team. On Friday, we started State Baseball play in Parker's Chapel. We won our first game and advanced to round 2. We had done this last year and were hoping to make it a little further this year. So on Saturday, we played again and WON! Now we are on to the semi-finals. If our Dragons play like they have been and we get just one more win, we will be on to play in the finals at Baum Stadium in Fayetteville next Saturday. This is the world series of high school baseball, so you can imagine how we are feeling right now! First things first, we are focusing on Monday's game....but we have to admit that Baum is now on our brain!

Cantley has had a blast with all her boys this weekend. I am not sure who will be more heartbroken when ball season is over-her or Jonathan. She is preparing for her first dance recital, which happens to be next Sat. when we hope to be in Fayetteville.

Let me end this post with my favorite line....GO BIG GREEN!
