Merry Christmas!
We had a wonderful first Christmas with Bennett. She got lots of books and DVD's. She loved her Baby Einstein Beetoven DVD! She is growing so fast and is already up to almost twenty pounds! She has learned that she can hold onto my fingers and pull her bottle in and out of her mouth when she wants. Last night she did this several times just to grin up at me....I could eat her up! Here are some pictures of Christmas morning and afternoon when we got to meet Baby Preston!.
Bennett's Baby Dedication
We had Bennett dedicated at my home church in Greenville this past Sunday. It was such a sweet experience and Bennett looked so beautiful in her new dress! Here are some pictures of the ceremony, dinner afterwards, and fun times at Mimi and Papa's.
Happy Anniversary!
Today is mine and Chris' second anniversary! These past two years with Chris have been the best years of my life and I cannot wait to celebrate many more with him! I do not give Chris enough credit! He is an AMAZING husband and father and I do not know what I would do without him. I love you babe!
I'm going to be an Aunt!!!
My sister called this morning to tell me she is pregnant! She is about five weeks. My family is so excited and have been waiting anxiously for this pregnancy. For those of you who don't know my sister had a miscarriage about a year and a half ago at seven weeks so please keep Jessica and Michael and their "peanut" in your prayers!
Ashley and Jared's Baby Shower
We threw a shower for our friend's Ashley and Jared this Saturday and had such a great time! We can't wait for Baby Bailey to get here! We love you guys!
Christmas Decorations
I pulled out my decorations last week thinking that with a new baby it would take me forever to put everything up. However, Bennett has become quite the sleeper and I managed to get all three trees up and decorated as well as all the outside stuff up in a week! Here are some pictures of our three trees and the house from the outside. Bennett has her own pink and lime green decorated tree in her room and loves looking at the lights! I ordered a matching white tree for the dining room since those two windows are on the front of the house and I decorated it in black and silver.....the pictures do not do either tree justice....I was very pleased with how everything turned out!
Christmas Pictures
We went and had Bennett's picture made with Santa Claus on Saturday and then went to have family pictures made. Here are some from the Sears session. I will scan in the picture with Santa when I get a chance!
11th Commandment
This video clip was played during our MDT trainig for my job today. I thought it was heart wrenching and was an awesome way to let the public know what Social Services, Law Enforcement, and Child Advocacy Centers such as where I am employeed, are trying so hard to cope with and overcome. The CARE House of the Pee Dee saw over 700 cases of child sexual and/or severe physical abuse last year alone and unfortunately, as soon as this video was finished playing one of the investigators on our team was called to the hospital where a two month old was suffering injuries from child abuse. I held Bennett a little tighter tonight when I got home. Please keep all the unfortunate children in your prayers!
Fighting Sleep
Bennett was fighting sleep BIG time tonight! She refused to lay in her crib or on Chris' chest to sleep. This is how she was the most comfortable! She fell asleep sitting straight up! Too cute!
College Friends
It was so good having all my friends and our husbands together at the game this past Saturday! Love you guys!
Bennett's first bath
I just had a chance to download these pictures. Please excuse the way I look....this is the same day I ended up in the ER for the Mastitis so I was not feeling all that well. Bennett LOVES her baths!
