The Birth Certificate that tells a story...

Lydia's birth certificate is proof of where she was born and who delivered her. If you look closely, the place of birth reads..."I-59 South at Tallapoosa Exit" and the attendant's name is "Stan," our dear paramedic.

Rub-a-dub-dub!

"See Emma. Funny, funny Emma."

"Am I funny or what?"

"I love it when Mom wants me to be silly!"

"Mommy won't give me any real food yet, so for now I just try to eat my toes."

Just a little Christmas fun...

Merry Christmas everyone!!!

My family came over from GA on Saturday the 22 and we had a great Christmas gathering. Not having to travel with with four children (one of those still a new born) would have been gift enough ;) Keep scrolling for more Christmas Pics!

Future Bulldog?















We had a GREAT time visiting with some of our college friends! Tammy traveled all the way from India, Lance and Heather came all the way from Scottland and Rob, well he drove all the way from Atlanta. :)















Josiah and Emma stayed with Sam's Mom, so we only had Lydia and Eliott. Eliott enjoyed getting some extra attention.















What a smile!!! Lydia is a wonderful baby!
