Random Pics of January

What a beautiful little girl! I love those baby blues! :)

Catelyn's favorite place to hang out. Thanks for letting us borrow your jumper Clayton!

I was having a ruff morning last week, and my sweet little girl made it all better when I found her happy as a clown trying to escape her crib. I laughed so hard at that little leg just a kickin' away.

So sweet, playing with her toys.

It SNOWED!!!!

Daddy and Catelyn exploring the ever so swiftly melting snow.

Catelyn (and "Dolly") checking out the snow.

Incase you can't read it, it's says "Catelyn's 1st snow." I know...I'm so cheesy! :)

Christmas Fun!

* Our FAVORITE Christmas Present!!!!

Sunday afternoon, me, Will and Catelyn went to church, came home and had our little Christmas at the house, had a quick visit with my parents, then packed up our stuff and headed to Montevallo to spend Christmas with Will's family. We had such a good time, and got lots of fun new things. Catelyn had so much fun she wore her little self out. It was really good getting to spend some quality time with Mamma Jack, Pops and Rudy- along with the great grandparents and great aunt and uncle. Will and I are so blessed to have two awesome sets of families!!

Here are a couple of pics from the holiday. Hope everyone else had a Merry Christmas too. Have a safe and Happy New Year!

So excited about my present!!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

What an awesome time of year! Since having Catelyn, it has hit home more than ever what an amazing thing God did for us. I look at her sweet face, and feel the overwhelming love in my heart, and am absolutely blown away at the unbelievable sacrifice God gave to us through His Son. I can't imagine giving Catelyn up for anyone, yet God gave his only Son for me. Wow!! What an awesome God we serve! I hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas holiday as we celebrate the birth of our Savior. Merry Christmas!!

Happy Holidays

Catelyn is such a trooper. I had her bundled up like the poor kid on The Christmas Story. She just smiled the whole time. Such a sweet little girl!!!

Our pretty tree all decorated. :)

Our first "family" ornament. I love it...the baby is a snowflake. ha!

Catelyn's first christmas ornament!

Our happy girl in her "My first Christmas" pj's.

I finally finished sewing Catelyn's stocking, and I love seeing all of our names on the mantle together. yea!

Life Group Kiddos

We have a group of eight couples that meet on Sunday nights to talk about the sermon and things like that. The people in this group have become some of the most precious people to me. Four of the couples (including myself) have had babies recently, and while visiting with our newest mommy, we had this photo opp that we could not refuse. From left to right is Brooks (5 weeks), Catelyn (6 months), Kate (3 months), and sweet little Graham who is one week old tomorrow. Could our kids get any cutter?!!!!

Happy Halloween!!

Every year, our neighborhood has a Halloween block party! The house where it's hosted grills hot dogs, and all the neighbors bring a side dish. The kids come dressed in their adorable costumes, go for hayrides and then we all disperse to go trick-or-treating. This is only the second year we've gone, but we had such a good time. It's been so great getting to know more of our neighbors, and than of course this year- we have Catelyn! She couldn't have been a more precious lady bug!!! She did so great! She just looked around and took everything in. After a while she fell asleep, and then we took her on home around 6:30 for her dinner. It amazes me how much more fun things are just by her being around. It was also fun, because our friends Patrick, Leslie and their two kids, came over to hang out with us too! It was a great first Halloween for Catelyn and us too! Happy Halloween!

The Spooky Trail

Today, Will and I took Catelyn over to the "spooky trail" that the Vestavia library puts on. It's basically a nature walk with pumpkins and cobwebs and stuff. It was really fun being outside, and getting to spend some quality time with our little family. Catelyn had a ball, talking and squealing up a storm. After that we all three went home and took a nap. Ya gotta love a Sunday afternoon! :)
