Brothers and Sisters



This past weekend was super busy, but in a good way. We got to meet the newest addition to the Dunn family, Xavier Christopher. How quickly I had forgotten how small newborns are. Xavier is small enough to tuck in one arm and is light as a feather. He's absolutely perfect and we can't wait to get to know him as he grows. The first thing Eliot announced to us as we walked in the door, "I'm a big brother!". Indeed he is and obviously a great one at that.

Our other weekend activies had to do with another big brother, and sister. Shaun's dad (Bill) was in town with his big brother Glenn and big sister Gayle. It was so nice for Bryce to meet his great aunt and uncle. Plus it was such a beautiful weekend that we were able to spend a lot of time outside. Bryce even got to ride in the backback as we walked around Lake Arlington, our future stomping grounds. It was nice to see the family dynamic between Bill and his siblings. Even after many decades living across the country, they can still kid around and tease each other like all siblings do. Bill: "Its nice to have you here, you make me look so much younger". Glenn: "Are you on the all sugar diet?" Here is a priceless picture of the Thistlethwaite kids on the swings.

Update on Shaun: he's doing GREAT!! They took out his staples last week so he just needs to continue to heal and take it easy. But he is feeling so good, we have to remind him to take it easy. The bar exam is in 48 days so major studying has begun. I need to hurry up with this post so he can get back on the computer. More pics and videos of Bryce to come next entry.

Looks like a "swinging" good time.

Glad to hear that everyone is doing well and that Shaun's surgery was successful! Hooray! Don't let him study to hard for that exam. ;)
