Happy Holidays


Happy Holidays from our family to yours!


Santa Santa- Ho Ho Ho


The girls had a wonderful visit with Santa this year. There were lots of smiles & hugs and thankfully no tears:)

Sorry for all the pictures, but some of the expressions were just too priceless not to share. 









What a fun and magical moment! Oh to be a child again!

A Little Recap


I am a little embarrassed that (with the exception of yesterday's post) I have not updated the blog in 6 months! In my defense, things have been a little crazy around here. You would have thought I had enough on my plate with taking care of a toddler and a newborn. Nah, let's add prepping and selling a house, house hunting, building a new house, packing, moving the majority of our belongings into a storage building, moving the rest of our belongings to a rental, and all of this was done around and during the Holidays!

That's right! We no longer live in our 3 story townhome, Hallelujah! We listed and sold that baby within 7 days. Our closing date was December 2nd (yep, the Monday after Thanksgiving) so we had 6 weeks to pack and find a new home. Which leads to house hunting. To make a long story short, we found a home we liked, made an offer which wasn't accepted and with the limited inventory that was on the market at the time, we then decided to build. We were so excited! We never even considered building a home and now we were, but that left us with one rather huge problem...where are we going to live until mid-April?

Enter our heroes, my brother-in-law and his wife, Phil & Amy. They have a one bedroom rental unit in the bottom floor of their home. The week before we had to be out of our townhome their current renters moved out! So they so graciously offered to let us stay until our new home was ready. Thank ya Jesus!

So we are currently in temporary housing in Mt. Juliet until April when we will officially move to our new little home in the Bent Creek Subdivision in Nolensville.

So here are a few pictures from the past few months:
Happy Fall Ya'll

Baby Mia

 
First, let me start by saying this entry is LONG overdue. I actually had forgotten about these pics and happened upon them the other day.
 
My mom took these photos when Mia was just a few weeks old. I feel like these were taken yesterday, but that isn't possible because this past week that tiny baby turned 6 months old!
 
So here are a few of the newborn pics:
 
 
 



My heart is full after looking at the photos again. We are so blessed to have this sweet angel in our lives!
