Christmas!

We got to celebrate Christmas with our families at OUR house this year. My family(minus the Braddocks) were here for Christmas Eve and Wes's family came down and spent Christmas with us. It was the first Christmas I haven't been at home, but it was great and worked out really well. We've truly enjoyed our company. My dad says he'll come back next year if Ashley and I will have number 8 & 9 of his grandchildren (Don't think that's in the cards for next year, but we really enjoyed it this year!)


Sawyer had a really big Christmas. He was SO EXCITED!!

Our Christmas Gift Came Early

(Sorry for the delay. I've been working on getting this out since Tuesday but am just now getting it up. I'll update with Christmas pictures soon!)

Hey Friends!! Caleb is now eight days old. We are getting settled in at home and life is great here!! Our new little man is doing wonderful. He's a very sweet baby so far. We're sleepy but overwhelmed with joy.
Thanks for all your sweet notes and for your thoughts and prayers for us.

Caleb's Room Ready & Waiting

We hung the pictures in Caleb's room tonight, and I feel like we're ready for him anytime now. I'm so excited that he will be here so soon!

My WONDERFUL and extremely talented friend Erika picked out everything in this sweet baby's nursery. We can't wait for him to get here!

Tis The Season

I LOVE Christmastime! I am especially excited about this year! I thought I'd share some pictures of our last few years...

Handsome Angels

I am a week late on this post, but we had a GREAT & busy weekend last weekend. We drove to Dothan after work on Friday to go to the Peanut Festival with Wes's parents. It has become a tradition for us, and we love it! We mostly go for the corn dogs and elephant ears.

On Saturday, we drove to Enterprise to check on Ashley & Walker, Eli & Sawyer. They are doing great, and Eli seems to be the perfect baby so far. He only cries when he is hungry and even then, it's not much of a cry. Sawyer is seriously the happiest kid I've ever met!! He is so funny and laughs all the time!! We got to go to church with Ashley & Sawyer on Sunday which was great - Walker stayed home w/ baby Eli so we could go. A few pictures of some handsome angels...

Baby Eli - So Sweet!

His mama will not appreciate me sharing these pictures with his passy, but I can't resist. His face is just too cute!!

Should Have Been In A Magazine

If engineering & interior design don't work out, these girls (Erika and Kate Hartman) should start a catering business!!

My good friends, Erika and Kate, hosted a baby shower for me on Sunday afternoon. The two of them could seriously start a party planning business. It was worthy of a magazine feature. It was a perfect fall day (in Florida) 80 degrees and sunshine. We started with appetizers and socializing in Kate's backyard, and then went inside to eat corn and crab bisque soup, pumpkin acorn muffins, delicious cupcakes and beautiful fall leaf cookies. The food was amazing, the company was wonderful and I got lots of goodies. It was SO NICE - every single detail! Some pictures...
