Welcome, Liam!

January 11, 2014
4 lbs 11 oz
18 inches

Isn't he handsome?!


Even though Liam was born almost 5 weeks early, we are very blessed that he is a perfect, healthy little boy! Sarah is doing great, too! I was grateful for James' help, so that I could be there when Liam was born. He and Grayson hung out and had some guy time for a few days.

 Grayson and I will get to hang out with this sweet boy for a few days this weekend! This is my disclaimer that you will probably have to look at ridiculously cute pictures of Grayson and Liam on my next post!

Highlights for the End of 2013

We're back!

 I am thankful that I am able to stay home with Grayson, because that means we also get to visit family other than the holidays!Since the end of October, we got to spend time in Edmond while James went hunting, I went to my sister's baby shower (twice! We had to cancel the first one after the ice storm and we ended up getting "iced in" for a couple of days in Oklahoma.), hung-out with Sarah for her birthday, and of course, spent the holidays with family. We have been busy, but we have enjoyed it!

Here are some highlights since I haven't updated in awhile:


  1. James graduated!!!!!!!!!! James officially completed his master's degree with Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary on December 14th.   
  2. James and I celebrated our  6 year anniversary on December 15th (perfect timing since he just finished school!). This weekend we are attending a couples cooking class to "officially" celebrate our anniversary. We are both looking forward to it. 
  3. We found out that we will have TWO new NEPHEWS this year. Sarah is due in February and Katie is due in May! Grayson will have a blast growing up with his cousins....I am not sure what we are doing to do at family gatherings with all these boys bouncing around the place!
  4. Grayson is now 10 months old. He is so fun! He is a master at crawling, pulling up and walking along furniture. He loves to mimic sounds. His new sound is clicking his tongue. He also just started playing "Where's Grayson?" AKA "peek-a-boo" and handing toys and other items to us. We are also at the stage where we can't eat unless Grayson is eating, because he wants our food. Last night he took a bite of James' apple! No food is safe!
This is how thick the ice was during the "Ice Apocalypse 2013." This particular chunk came off of Sarah's car. Needless to say, we couldn't go anywhere for a few days.


Grayson's first Christmas!
Grayson being himself :).

10 Months...Looking even more like James!
