New Babies!!

Congratulations to Joel and Emily on their new baby girl Josie, to Seth and Katie and their sweet baby Emery, and to Michael and Stephanie, whose bundle of joy Carter arrived earlier today. It is such a blessing to see these miracles from the Lord. What a mighty God we serve!

Some days it feels like yesterday Sydney was born, and other days it feels like she's always been part of our family. We are thankful for her and the gift she is. She blesses us daily with her unconditional love, laughter, and smiles. She even blesses us on days like today where she is sick with a little cold, and overall pretty grumpy:) I think she may be getting some new teeth, which usually goes hand in hand with a red bottom around here. Poor thing!

At the moment she is being pretty sweet. As I'm typing this, she wandered off into her room to read books. I just checked on her, and she's sitting on the floor with books all around her just talking up a storm. The only word I can understand coming from her room is "hello"....Yesterday and today one of her favorite words has been "dilia," which means LYDIA!! Lyd's here with her family for a visit so they've had some good time together.
Good Time with Gramps
Sydney's finally got enough hair for a bow!! We've waited 18months for this!!

Yeah for new babies! There are so many being born right now....kinda makes me afraid to drink the water anywhere in Knoxville :) LOL I didn't know about Stephanie's little one yet so I am glad to know Carter is here. That Sydney is a cutie! Hope y'all enjoy your visit with family.

Hip Hip Hooray for the bow! She wears it well. The pictures with Gramps are so sweet. My parents just left Montgomery and had so much fun with Nolan. It's pretty neat the gift that we're able to give our parents in the form of granbabies :) Love you!!!
