Christmas Pictures...

Tis the Season!!!

For a Christmas redesign!!! More Christmas pictures coming soon!!

Happy Thanksgiving!!

At a glance this picture may seem a little random, but it is what we are dealing with this Thanksgiving week. Miller has had a stomach bug all week. He acts fine, playing and smiling like normal but he cannot keep anything down. Without getting into all the yucky details.... the bug has caused him to have a horrible diaper rash. Along with changing his diaper often we have had "No Diaper Play Time" in front of the fire each evening. It has gotten a lot better and Miller enjoys running around commando.

This morning Luke woke up with the nasty little bug so we will be staying home catching up on rest and trying to enjoy our time together. Hopefully they will both start feeling better soon.

Even though both my guys are sick we have SO much to be thankful for. We hope your Thanksgiving is full of joy and good times with family.

Reminiscing...

This past weekend Luke, His brother Heath, and Cousin Rob went Squirrel hunting. Luke and Rob were so proud to take pictures of the squirrels they shot with their boys. This is a picture of Luke, Heath, and Rob then and now.

We also took this cute picture of Miller in Luke's boots. I also dug around a little and found a picture of Luke and I in our Dad's boots. It is fun to have these similar pictures.

A Early Thanksgiving Weekend

We spent the weekend in Brewton celebrating Thanksgiving with Luke's family. The highlight of our visit was Miller meeting his second cousin Brady for the first time. Brady was born last Valentine's day and is exactly three months younger then Miller. Most of the pictures we took this weekend was of the boys playing. We can't wait until the next time we can all get together again.

Getting into the Spirit...

of Thanksgiving. We are heading to South Alabama for the weekend to celebrate Thanksgiving with Luke's Family. We are very fortunate that everyone will be there. To help out I baked 2 loafs of Banana Bread, a Chocolate Pie, and a Pecan Pie. Yum Yum!!!



The chocolate pie is a family favorite. I am not sure where the recipe came form but it is always a hit... and it is EASY.

Mom's Playdate Brunch

On Saturday we went to a Mom's Play date Brunch. The Mom's had a great time visiting while the kiddo's had fun playing. Most of the babies have just begun to walk so it was fun to see them walking around.

Happy First Birthday!!!

This week has us reminiscing about this time last year. My due date was November 13th. I talked my Doctor into inducing me on the 12th because my parents were leaving on the 17th to enjoy a week long cruise to celebrate their 30th wedding anniversary.

We arrived at the hospital on Monday the 12th to be induced. Within a couple of hours I was all hooked up and ready to go. Due to my many allergies the doctor was taking it slow so they could catch any possible reactions to the different medications they were using. Around Lunch they broke my water and the contractions really began to come. Soon after, I received my epidural and began waited. Every couple of hours the doctor came to check me. I was not changing much so I feared a LONG night of labor was ahead. Around Dinner he checked me again and no change in 2 hours. He could tell that Miller was not going to fit. He gave me the option to labor for a couple more hours and if I had not progressed any he would prep me for a C-section or I could choose to go ahead with it. I was tired and ready for it to be over with so I opted for a c-section.



Miller arrived within an hour of that decision, and on Monday, November 12, 2007, our lives have been forever enhanced and made brighter by this precious gift God gave us. We are so thankful for a healthy, happy boy who is growing bigger and bigger by the minute!

Miller had changed so much over the last month. He is walking. He still has a way to go to be fully walking but he is walking more and more every day. It happened over night. He really started walking on Friday. Miller really showed off on Saturday at his party. It was like he knew the party was all about him so he really put it all out there. Along with walking has come more talking. He can say "Oh ooh", Mama, Dada, and Hi. We can say some words and Miller will try to repeat them. I have a feeling that within a couple of weeks he will be running and then he will start talking in sentences.

Miller is a great eater and a pretty good sleeper. He is working on tooth number 12 so he is still waking some at night due to the discomfort.

He loves to play. He is not very demanding. I can sit him down with some toys and he gets lost in his own little play time. Of course he loves for me to play with him but he is very content playing by himself.

I started working on a video to capture Miller's first year. I wanted to post it on his birthday but I have been very busy and have not completed it. As soon as I do I will post it. Miller is such a joy and we look forward to the many milestones to come.

Birthday Weekend

This weekend we celebrated Miller's birthday with family. We had a great time and Miller enjoyed ALL the extra attention. I would like to thank everyone for making this weekend so special.

One year photo's...

Saturday morning we had a photo shoot to mark Miller turning one. These are some of my favorites with more to come over the next couple of weeks. I have to say a special Thank you to the Brock's for letting us use your beautiful land for a backdrop.
