Our newest addition to the family... nephew Martin Lee Kilmer
Ruthie with one-day-old Martin: 8 lb. 11 oz. at birth
Martin had both Grandmas around to spoil him from the get-go :)
Enjoying the river view in Aunt Ruthie's hospital room
Nap time for the cousins!
All clean Daddy!
What better place to be - Abby & Essie chillin' on Grandma's lap
Getting ready for "work"
Breakfast time for Teddy! "Open wider, please!"
Grandpa telling Martin all about the world of tractors and auto mechanics
Baby Maria feels so tiny after holding Martin... she was still less than 6 pounds at a month old
Did I just see a walking box?
It's Christmas! Okay, not really, but we won't complain about getting presents to celebrate Martin & Aunt Pam's birthdays :)
The cousins & their Mommy's at Pam's 28th B'day celebration
"Here Abby. I'll show you how it works."
The Kilmer/Harms's - minus a really tall Texan guy
The whole fam at church on Sunday (the day after Martin & his Mom got out of the hospital!)
Aww, sister time
He did it!
"She's right. It was uncle Travis. I saw him"
"Mommy, can I please take cousin Abby for a drive?"
Last stop: a quick visit in Norris City, Illinois with Tracy & Gracyn. The girls enjoyed making a mess with Cheetos :)

Look Dad; Grandma is taking me for a dinosaur ride!
Abby loved the playground just 2 blocks from Grandma's house. Even though it felt like 5 degrees outside
Abby's second visit to Great-Grandma Violet's house (well, the first one doesn't really count, since she was in Mommy's belly and couldn't see anything)
Ahhh, this is the life. I could cuddle with Grandpa ALL day
Abby posed as a mad scientist and made a stunning appearance at her first costume party
Mommy, can I go stay with Grandma & Grandpa in Kentucky? They have a really cool car
Look at my new baby!
Thank you Grandma! My very own baby to spoil!
The Yunker clan... most of the 21 that showed up for Thanksgiving dinner
Four generations: Great-Grandma Yunker, Grandma Hausam, Mom & Abby!
Grandma & Grandma Hausam, Great-Grandma Violet, & the Harms!
I'm tired of cameras now!
Our next stop: the Tuma's residence north of Chicago
Adeia ("the blur") Tuma is just a couple months older than Abby
Slightly suspicious of the invasion of her home, Adeia Tuma keeps watch
Giddyap, horsie!
Pam's "birthday cousin", Julie, with daughter Neva
But I'm the guest.. shouldn't I get the first turn in the swing?
