We're Back!






We've gotten a lot of hassle about not updating the blog lately and we're sorry about that. There's been a lot going on lately and now we have a ton to write about.
Hannah is huge! In reality she's just growing up fast and we are so blessed to have her in our lives. She brings lots of laughter and tears (good ones) to each new day and it's just incredible how God created such a sweet little girl. Whoever lot we could love someone so little so much! She's been doing her "army drag" for a long time now and has been sitting up on her own for a little over a month or so. Her favorite thing to do now is to be "free" on the floor in the living room. She does her super roll (rolling 4-5 times really fast) to make her way to the kitchen or the tv set where she loves to try to pull down the Christmas decorations. She's been pulling up on things and is very close to successfully sitting herself back up...it'll happen one of these days. She just brings so much excitement to our lives and we know that she will be a great big sis.
And speaking of the new little one...I should be returning to the doctor very soon, but our last and final ultrasound we had last month showed that she is doing great. They didn't get great pics of her heart in October because she was moving around so much so they just had take a second look. Her due date still stands at March 10th, which seems to be approaching rather quickly!
THANKSGIVING! Trey and I were blessed to have some family here to celebrate the holidays with us...my parents arrived the Monday before Thanksgiving (Zach and Jacki came tues. and Mer on wed.) and we just had blast. We're grateful to Matt for sparing Mer for their first Thanksgiving as a married couple and with her being soo pregnant it was just a blessing to be able to share the holidays with her. And we thank God for her health (she's doing great now) and for Caleb who will be here sooner than we know it. And thanks Mom and Dad for all the ways you blessed Trey, Hannah, and I while you were here (even when you aren't here we feel blessed for all you do for us)! And Hannah loves her Uncle Zach and Aunt Jacki and just had so much fun with all the family that week! She's just now getting over the fact that Mommy is only one person (since she had so many people to play with that week) and I can't entertain her every minute of every day. And thank you all for all the pre-Christmas gifts and just gifts...we are THANKFUL! And to all the family in Mississippi, we're so thankful that Hannah has so many people that love her and even though ya'll couldn't spend the holidays with us, you were here in our thoughts and in our hearts!
So I'm blogged out I think...Christmas will be here 16 days and we can't wait! Hannah's first Christmas and we can't wait to read to her the 'Baby Jesus Story' from her little book with the furry sheep, but we're def. going to have some fun with the whole Santa thing too (even if she can't understand everything yet)! Don't worry I won't write this much each time, but there was a lot of time we didn't blog about....we love you all!!!!!!! (I posted pics from the shower we threw for Mer and others from that week)
