Phone Pics: Beaver Creek, Colorado

Mummi and Doc took us on an awesome vacation to Beaver Creek, Colorado back in December of 2011! Here are just a few pics from the trip! The most memorable part of the trip for me was getting to have Brett and Sarabeth there! Mummi, Doc, Brett, and Sarabeth had done an excellent job at keeping their coming a secret. They were able to completely surprise me and Jonathan! It was great, and we had so much fun :)

Phone Pics: Lexington, Virginia

It's funny to me now to think back to how scared and unsure I was when I found out we were moving to Virginia. I had never lived outside the state of Alabama, and while I always dreamt about doing so someday, it wasn't until it was my actual reality that I had to come face to face with how I really felt about it, mostly fear and sadness mixed with a little excitement.

Now that we've gone through the experience, I can say without a doubt that it was a time in our lives that I wouldn't trade for anything. We were just two young newlyweds in a gorgeous little historic Virginia town livin' on love and student loans (and my measly, little Enterprise salary)! It was awesome, and I look back at these pictures with such fondness.

Phone Pics: Meeting Henry

I'm going to have to do a series of "Phone Pics" posts, because I gotta lot of 'em! I've been meaning to put these up for a while but just hadn't gotten around to it. Now I will say that a lot of these are pretty old. Like over a year and a half old...Oh well! I never said I was good at this blogging stuff!

Ok, so here we are meeting our sweet nephew, Henry, for the first time! I'm pretty sure that these pictures are on the post I put up after he was born, but lets be honest, you really can't see that sweet face too many times. I can't believe that Henry is going on two years old and Ben and Laura are about to add another sweet little boy to their family. Where does the time go?

My First Mother's Day

We celebrated my very first Mother's Day this past weekend, and it was wonderful! We got to spend the entire weekend as a family, which doesn't happen a lot these days. We had Saturday brunch at Over Easy in Mountain Brook, did a little furniture shopping, and then went to a beautiful wedding reception for my friend, Carly, Saturday night! We went to worship services on Sunday and ate lunch at this somewhat new meat and three restaurant in Homewood called Johnny's with several of our closest friends and family. The weekend could not have been any better!

I am blessed beyond measure to have such a wonderfully caring mother and also to be the mother of a beautiful, sweet, and healthy little boy. God is good, and I am thankful.

First Food: Oatmeal

Jack had had oatmeal one other time at Josh and Bonnie's house and really seemed to like it!  This time was a little different.  He went from excited and curious to unhappy and disgusted in a matter of seconds.
