Beautiful flowers from my baby. He went to the store for me and came home with these lovely things! He's the sweetest!
Somebody found her fingers....:)

Sissies and baby - go blue!

We took her with us on our date this week....she did so good - slept for 3 hours!

Thought this picture was funny so I had to post it....she really does like it when he kisses her!
Another beautiful day on the porch at grandpa and grammas.

Sweet time with gramma!

"Maybe she's born with it...."

I hate to brag - BUT she has the most GORGEOUS lashes in the world - no maybelline needed! :)

So relaxed...

I LOVE this face!! She is so expressive.

BEAUTIFUL blues!

She is such a happy girl and we LOVE spending every day together!!

Goodmorning Sunshine!

She is so sweet when she sleeps...

...and ever so sweet and adorable when she wakes up!
LOVE IT!
She's starting to smile every day now...she sure knows how to melt our hearts!

Can't wait for another nice day - for this! Lucy and I love to go to poppy and gramma's house to sit out on the porch and enjoy the beautiful outdoors. This is one of our favorite things to do on a beautiful day!

Poppy has a special touch with Lucy girl - I think she's his favorite ;). She loves when he holds her like this.
Daddy already admits he's never gonna be able to say no to these eyes... :)

We love our sweet girl more than we could have ever imagined! God is SO kind!

back to blogging...

2010-09-28T08:20:00.000-07:00

Well...I've decided to start blogging again. We now have thousands of pictures of our new addition, sweet Lucy Jeanne... so I thought it would be fun to start up the ole blog again. Hopefully I will keep at it this time! :) Here are a couple recent pics of our sweet little doll baby. We absolutely ADORE her!

She loves her little bouncy seat. She is so content just to sit in it and look around while I get some things done around the house.

We can't get enough of those ocean blue eyes and adorable expressions!

She brings us more joy than we could have ever imagined! Thank you Lord for our sweet lucygirl!

New ESV Study Bible!
Christmas morning - 6:45 am. Well, Wes didn't get up til 7, so it might have been a little later. I wanted to get up early so we wouldn't have to be rushed opening our presents and on to the next house. We had time to relax and drink some coffee in front of the cozy fire place :) Oh yeah - we got the sweet matching robes from Mom N!
Christmas Eve
Another Sing a long ... this is one of my favorite things about being with family (and friends)!

Christmas Tree Time!!!!!!

2008-11-30T04:58:00.000-08:00

First Christmas with the Greatest Husband!

Cutest Boy in the WORLD!

Almost complete, still have a few things to add .... one thing being a tree skirt to cover that hideous tree stand!

We originally borrowed a tree stand from Amanda ... about an hour after trying to get our tree to stand up in it, Wes got it to stand alone, but not for long. We tried to move the tree a bit and the stand was done for ( We think the stand was made for a smaller tree :)). Needless to say, Wes had to run back to the store to buy a new one, and this lovely thing was one of the cheapest they had!

Thanks baby for making this day so fun and special (and picking the perfect tree)! You are the best husband any girl could ever ask for!

Fall!

2008-10-07T16:38:00.000-07:00

Well I just wanted to make a new post. So here it is. Fall is in the air. And I love it! Football and.... whatever else makes fall so great. I still get the feeling that winter (which use to mean snow) is on the way. Which makes me rather sad. I miss not having snow. I really miss skiing. But at least I still get that feeling that winter is on the way. Maybe one day I'll be back on the snow. But for now I'll enjoy the cold, damp, and biting winds of a virginia winter!

Well next time I'll post pics!!! Cause let's not kid around, that's why you're here. :P

Oops!!!!!!!

2008-08-27T15:26:00.000-07:00

Katie just about lost her finger.

She got a little worried.

But since I'm a doctor on the side, I was able to save it!!

Yeppers!!!

How Great Is Our God

2008-08-26T03:50:00.000-07:00

Revelation 21:2-5

"And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, "Behold, the dwelling place of God is with man. He will dwell with them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them as their God. He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning nor crying nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away." And he who was seated on the throne said, "Behold, I am making all things new." Also he said, "Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true."

I have been reading in Revelation the past couple weeks, and it's a little difficult for me to know what to take away from it, but the Lord has used it to reveal His Glory to me, and it has been wonderful to be able to just ponder on that for awhile. Thinking about how glorious, amazing, mighty, powerful and wonderful our God is.

It has been an ongoing struggle for me in my quiet times, reading and feeling like I'm not getting anything out of it. Having a hard time trusting that the Lord will speak to me through his word when I'm not really knowing what to get out of it. On sunday, Keith said, When God's word goes out, it NEVER returns to him void. This means that when I read his word in the morning, even if I don't feel like I understand or necessarily know what to take away from it, God's word never returns to him void!

Praise the Lord that it is not our understanding and our works that bring us communion with him, it is because of the FINISHED work of the precious Lamb of God, that we stand righteous, blameless, and forgiven before our HOLY GOD!

That to say, I am so grateful for the word of God, and that He is allowing me to see and understand him in new ways, little by little, until the day he returns and we will be like him because we shall see him as he is! Lord hasten the day of your return!

(sorry I kinda went a different direction than the verse I wanted to write about ... maybe I'll finish when I have more time :))

Friday Night

2008-08-17T18:10:00.000-07:00

Kind of a boring post, but just an update on our friday night! Integrity got tickets for everyone to go to a Tides game, but when we got there it was raining. We really didn't think it was worth it to sit in the rain to watch the tides ... so we went to the mall with Kate and Clay, Lizzy and Luke, and then we saw Augie and his family there, so we all went to dinner at California Pizza Kitchen! It was a rockin time.

Kate and I thinkin we're way too cool in our sweet hats & shades! :)

Happy Birthday To My Angel!

2008-08-11T17:25:00.001-07:00

Yes it's true, I have an angel. Also true that it's her birthday. I'm very grateful that God gave her to all of us. Mostly though to me! I'm not really good with words. (even if I was however, words would limit how I truly felt.) Katie Jeanne really is my very own angel. Her love for God is humbling. It truly pushes me to be more passionate about God and his Glory. Her love overflows to everyone she meets and interacts with. At her birthday party saturday this was echoed over and over as people shared about her. I do not know a more joyful person. She lights up any room she enters. And today we celebrate God's precious gift he gave to Lyle and Linda 22 years ago! Happy Birthday Katie Jeanne!!! I love you very much babe.

Honeymoon in Hawaii

2008-08-10T13:39:00.000-07:00

This was the night we got all dressed up to go a fancy dinner at "The Canoe House". This was one of the highlights for both of us. Live Hawaiian music playing as you ate and watched the sunset to a candlelit delicious dinner!

Beachin it! Everyday we were at the beach by about 8 am. The first few nights we were there, we woke up at 3am wide awake, but went back to bed til about 6, so by 8, we had eaten breakfast, had our coffee and quiet times (a couple mornings anyway .. we're pretty godly), and were ready to hit the beach. It was gorgeous and in the high 80's every day! The lord blessed us with perfect weather while we were there!

Every sunset was so beautiful ...
The Canoe House

We got new matching shoes!

More honeymoon pictures to come...
