What Makes You Smile?

The first few weeks that a newborn smiles are so sweet...she makes me smile.

While I was feeding Greer yesterday, Gehrig went to his room and apparently decided that he couldn't wait for me to put him down for his nap. This is how I found him...it made me smile.

Hearing Christmas music, receiving Christmas cards, hearing Gehrig exclaim "Baby Jesus!" everytime he sees a nativity...this Season makes me smile.

Our blessings are too many to count. I am so thankful for great friends & family and for a God that loves us so much that he sent Jesus for us. We hope your Christmas season is full of joy!

Surprise!

Another trip to Atlanta had a bit of intrigue this weekend! Bryce and our 2 best couple friends (Coopers & Dormans) conspired to have them meet us for dinner at my favorite restaurant for my upcoming 30th birthday. They each drove 2 hours just for dinner! The food was delicious and the company was wonderful. Bebe kept both kids for us. I am filled with gratefulness for such great friends & family!! And for the best husband there is...

Girl Time

A bunch of us met last weekend in Atlanta for some great girl time. It was so nice to visit, shop, eat and relax together! It made me sad that we now live so far apart! Our husbands were sweet to hang with the kids for us to get a little break. So looking forward to doing it again next year, girls!

It's Christmastime!

Happy December! Gehrig is enjoying the season already...seeing lights & decorations and declaring, "It's Christmastime!" over and over again! It's amazing to see how he's changed as we near his 3rd Christmas!

Thanksgiving Turkeys

As promised, here are a couple of pictures from Thanksgiving at the Mareks. Gehrig & Cole (our Thanksgiving turkeys) had a great time and made a great mess with the Mareks' dog's food & water bowls!

Grateful

Our Thanksgiving was much different this year. Usually in Virginia with B's family, we stayed home this year because Evans is still in the playoffs (yea!) and we were nervous about making the trip with Greer. We are missing everyone so much! However, we are just as aware of the holiday and the many things that we thank God for. Here are a couple of them!

We enjoyed a wonderful meal and fellowship with our friends, The Mareks. The kids had a great time playing and making a mess! We'll post pictures from it soon!

One other thing that we must mention... We have been overwhelmingly blessed the past few weeks with meals as we've adjusted to the addition of Greer to our family. It truly is the best gift for families with a newborn! The break from planning/shopping/cooking and the thoughtfulness of friends has been wonderful. Thank you...

I'm No Superman

After singing "I'm No Superman" (from Scrubs) repeatedly the night before, Gehrig donned his cape for our church's gym fest and had a ball! Here are a few pics from last night...

Greer's 2 week checkup went great today...she is already up to 8lbs 10oz and has almost grown an inch! She is doing great and Mommy is doing much better after fighting mastitis earlier this week! October gallery is on the right...love to you all.
