A Round-a-bout way home...

Every time we travel to Dallas, it is imperative that we visit with our dear friends, Kent and Grace. Their little boy (Ellis) was born just a few days after Noah, so we love to get the boys together to play. And, boy did they play... chasing each other up and down the hallway, sharing and "not" sharing toys, and of course an occasional tackle. Evidently, we already have them in football training :) Thank you, Grace and Kent, for opening your home to us! We had such a wonderful visit with you!!
Here are some photos of the boys :)

Merry Christmas

We headed up to Dallas for Christmas morning this year... Noah enjoyed playing with the ornaments on the tree... taking rides around the house in grandma's old wagon... playing chase with Aunt Debbie's dog, Lucy... and playing with all of the toys that have been accumulated at grandma and grandpa's house over the years through 4 grandchildren. In fact, Noah was so enamored with the "new" toys at grandma's house that he quickly lost interest in opening presents that took more energy and effort to discover. I'm sure that next year will be quite different...

We had a wonderful time visiting with family. Merry Christmas!!!

family photos



I've been looking forward to having our first "official" family photo taken... We were blessed to have our friend, ali take photos of us a few weeks back.

Just thought I'd share some of my favorites :)

dedicated...


This morning at church, John and I joined a handful of other parents dedicating our precious little ones unto the Lord. We are extremely blessed to be surrounded by such a wonderful community of friends supporting and encouraging us as we learn and grow as parents.
Noah, you are indeed a treasure! You have brought much joy into our lives... We love you, little booger!
