Birthday Weekend

Thank you for all the birthday wishes, cards and also gifts. I had a wonderful birthday that extended into the weekend. Davy and I went to dinner at my new favorite place, The Olive Garden, due to my recent pasta cravings. He also surprised me with this adorable little cake that had a train going over a mountain since we decorated the nursery in trains.

Of course he put trick candles on the cake =)

It was really good cake. You could even eat the rocks which were jelly beans.

I also dragged Davy shopping for my birthday which he was very patient and even faked that he was enjoying himself. Thanks to several gift cards for my birthday to Babies R' US I was able to get our travel system. It is a jogging stroller and car seat combination. So in between the football games I had Davy put the stroller together. (of course not during the UT game)

Grace Church

Last Sunday morning was the first worship service for Grace Presbyterian in our new church building. Here are few pictures of the inside being built out and also Davy building the stage for the church…

"Labor" Day Events

We had a productive Labor Day holiday getting ready for my "Labor Day" which is quickly approaching in 14 weeks. Davy worked hard on refinishing the dresser a few weeks ago so I could paint it white this past weekend to match the other furniture for the nursery. The dresser was a gift from Grandma Stephenson and we are so thankful to be able to use it.

Davy also installed a chair rail around the nursery wall so we could paint the bottom half of the room Navy Blue to match the train bedding. I am continually amazed at Davy's carpentry abilities and so thankful to be married to such a gifted man.

I was tying the bumper around the crib.

Our precious little boy

At my last doctor's visit we were able to get another sonogram of our little man. The technician was so nice to let us see him in some 4D images and take some pictures for free. He is still so tiny just over one pound but growing and developing so quickly.

Sweet Face

He was not cooperating during his photo session. He kept turning his head away from the camera and putting his hands over his face.

It's a boy

Sorry for the delay in posting the latest events in our lives these last few months. Although most of you are aware by now we are thrilled to announce that we are expecting our first baby in December. We were able to find out when I was 19 weeks pregnant that we are having a baby BOY.





Here are a few pictures of my growing belly from the last few months...

Davy surprised me with a plane ticket to go and visit my sister and her family in Cary, North Carolina. Jen is due 10 days before me on November 30th. My mom was also in town helping
babysit JT while my sister and her husband unpacked their new home.




Mom and her pregnant daughters

For those of you who may have not heard my nephew JT is going to be a big brother. My sister Jen is pregnant with baby #2. She is 7 weeks and 6 days pregnant today. We are so excited for them and can't wait to meet the new addition in November.

Easter Weekend

Over Easter week and weekend we had both sides of our family come visit us in Birmingham in our new home. Davy's sister, Ashley and brother, Jason drove from Atlanta and Davy's parents drove from McComb, Mississippi. Davy's mom helped us decorate by purchasing several plants for our home. The plants on the porch are a few of them. The plants have helped to make our house much more homey. Hopefully I will be able to keep them alive!


Two handsome men ready for Easter Service!

JT was much more interested in eating dad's peanut butter toast than his breakfast.

My family picture right before we walked into church to hear Davy preach his first Easter Service.

What a beautiful family!
