Aquarium

Due to lack of interest - the time for the gathing at the Dallas Aquarium is being moved back to 11am (instead of 1pm) to better fit the schedule of those planning to attend. If this fits your schedule and you can join us on Saturday, please let me know so we know to look for you and your family at the entrance.

FYI - for future gatherings: Dates and times are always negotiable so please let me know, when you get an evite, if another day or time would better suit your schedule. It does not always mean the date or time will be changed, but I do try to take the majority into consideration at all of the functions I plan. Camp is the only thing with a set weekend and that is because it allows us all to plan our year around that 3rd weekend in June every year!! :-)

The past two Dinner Clubs have been cancelled due to lack of interest and the Aquarium trip is down to 3 families at the moment so I'd rather move these events to get better (or any) attendance if I know ahead of time that they don't work for you. I know things come up last minute and none of us can control that - I'm just talking about the things we can control.

New addition to Cristy Coffman Lovick family - Matthew Evan Schmalzried

Hello girls!!

First of all a quick apology for not updating you all sooner. Things have been a bit hectic, and we had a major computer issue.. but we're settling down and the computer disaster was resolved. (I almost lost all of our pictures from the hospital.)

I hope everyone is doing well.. and will someone please forward this email to everyone else also who I didn't include. Kara, I saw where your husband had to have surgery, so I was thinking of you and hope he's okay.

Matthew Evan arrived Tuesday, July 15th at 12:30pm. Weighed in at only 7lbs 2oz, and 19" long. I have to say he must be the cutest baby in the world. He's absolutely perfect.

I couldn't believe how tiny he was, we were expecting an 8-9lb baby. Even the few newborn clothes we have for him are too small.

After he was born, I saw him briefly, then they ended up having to send him to the NICU because his oxygen levels were too low. He was breathing fine, but not getting enough oxygen. So he spent 6-7 hours in an oxygen tent. They let the rest of my family in to see him briefly, so everyone else got to meet him before I did. :O)
I finally got to hold him about 9pm and give him his first bottle.

We came home on Thursday night. Matthew is doing great, I have had some trouble with pain from the surgery. So I've been pretty groggy from taking pain meds. I'm hoping to try to take less today, I'd love to feel awake for a little while.

My Mom has been staying here, but I've insisted on getting up with Matthew and feeding him, etc.. but he's been sleeping sometimes for 5 hours at a stretch so its working out fine. I'm just waiting to start feeling better myself.

I just don't want to put him down for even a minute.. I'm probably spoiling him already.

I will attach a couple of pictures here, I promise to get more hopefully soon, but they're unorganized right now because of the computer problem.


Love you all!! Cristy Lovick

Dinner Club update

Well, it was a small group last night and a change of location. Since most of you had other plans, we moved dinner to Hurst at a place called RJ Gators. Debi and her daughter, Chele and her family met me there and we had a great time celebrating Chele's birthday!! We even had the waiters sing to her and bring her dessert!

If you didn't get a chance to join us last night, good news - Dinner Club Part Deux is next Thursday at 6:30pm in Grapevine. The place is called Flips Patio Grill and my daughter raves that they have the best food EVER! Please check out the evite and hope you can join us!!
