July 2nd - Well no baby yet!  They come when they are ready.  We had some really hot (over 100) days and then some more reasonable days.  Got some rain the night of the 1st.  We are going to be playing in the parade on the 4th - pulling a trailer for Cloverdale to advertise the Country Store.  Have gone to the river a couple of times this week and that is sure a lot of fun.   Have been driving the Galaxie some - it pulls the boat and our little trailer just fine.

July 9th - No baby!  We had a nice day for the 4th.  We had a float for Cloverdale and pulled it with the Galaxie.  Hollis drove and Jasper, Starlit and I played and sang on the float.  That was different!  The fireworks and show at the capitol were really nice as usual.  Holly & the kids were up for 4 days and Holly helped Vanessa with some sorting.  I took the kids to the river several times and had fun.  Saturday was over 100 here but it cooled off for Sunday.  Went to Nelson Lake on Sunday with Jenny (Hollis was working) and Karmon and Kory Jackson and were having a lot of fun until the engine on the boat quit.  Lost #1 cylinder so that is a bummer.

July 16th - Baby arrives and wow!  Vanessa was having pains for most of the afternoon Wednesday but around 10 went to bed.  I was heading for sleep on the couch around 11 when she got up and said "I think this is it" she started having real regular pains and I filled up the birth tub (had set it up earlier) around 12:30 - she got into the tub at 2:00 and had the baby at 2:51 - it was amazing as always.  Starlit helped out and Jasper had taken Zion and Jazmyn up to the farm for the night.  Momma and baby are doing very good.  Jazmyn of course is thrilled with her sister as are all the kids but to Jazmyn she is a doll so we have to watch her.  She has really enjoyed the doll that gramma Lou got for her.  We sang at a Christian Cowboy meeting at Kist livestock Sunday night - it was hot and muggy.

July 23rd - The baby has a name - Vanya Rose.  Can you say hot and muggy!  Over 100 with 85% humidity!  Uffda!  Spent time indoors and at the river.  One of our guys at work took the week off and the other guy has a REALLY bad back so Hollis and I had a pretty crazy week at work.  Prayer for the work situation is definitely appreciated.  Vanessa is healing up well but has had some rough nights with Vanya so please also pray for them.  Vanya is doing well, we held a dedication ceremony Friday night at our house with family and friends.

July 30th - Vanya is doing well BUT for her sleeping!  She is about to make mamma sleep deprived (OK I think that might have happened already) she is a pretty happy little thing but still does not have day and night figured out.  We have had some HOT weather!  The older kids and I went to Nelson Lake with Ed & Bev and the lake was no relief!  Had a good time though and camped overnight with our tent and Ed & Bev had their motor home
