Our Sweet Baby

One of the reasons I posted so much tonight was b/c I wanted to also use this as a way to let people know where we are with our journey with Russell. Tomorrow he has his MRI and they will completely sedate him to protect his obstructed airway. Please pray that everything goes smoothly and that the images are clear. Good Night.

Just a peek

I just started to go through the 900 pictures taken at the lake and decided to call it a night. This is just a snippet of what is come, so check back!

Road Trip

This is the beginning of our 2 day trek to Michigan where we spent a week at Crystal Lake with Brian's family and good family friends. The above is the kids at the Tennessee Welcome center.

On our 2nd day we stopped at Michigan so the kids could meet Brian's good friend Mr. Dan (we forgot to get a picture). John Will talked about Mr. Dan for several hours after hanging out with him. Then we headed to campus so the kids could see where Daddy went to school. This is them pushing the Cube - don't ask I can't tell you why it is there.

Camp Meeting III

This is the next generation of campers!

Camp Meeting II

The first picture is Katherine in her Miss Melissa skirt with Miss Melissa.
With John Will having a birthday so close to Camp Meeting we have a little party for him there. This year he wanted to have a pirate party.

John Will trying out his new scooter.

Sleeping At Shingleroof

This was Russell's first Camp Meeting and he did wonderful. If you look closly you can see the shavings on the floor! The kids had a blast staying out there.

This was Sunday morning having donuts with Daddy. John Will is sporting what we call "crazy hair".

July 4th

This was how we spent our Fourth of July- relaxing at home. Brian ran the Peachtree Road Race that morning and so we just took it easy the rest of the day.

The picture below is Katherine and John Will cooking with Tutu. They were making cakes for Camp Meeting.

June Part II

For some reason I can only add a couple of pictures at a time. So this goes along with the last post.

June

This was pretty much our June. Playing and just hanging out with family and friends.

Tea with Mommy

We are back tracking just a bit. The week before Russell was born I was invited to have tea with Katherine at school. As you can tell she is excited to also have her brother there too! The first picture is of Katherine's best bud Olivia and her Mommy(my good friend) Kathy.

Party of Five

Trying to catch up and get on track with the blog. So even though a lot has happened the post will be short and sweet so that one day we might be blogging about recent adventures. The above picture is of the kids showing off their new shades from Ms. Terry and Kelsey. They were all decked out and ready to head to the pool!

This is our first real attempt to have a family picture. This was our fake coming home picture. I say fake b/c we did not take a picture the night we came home. Mostly in part b/c it was late and I had a spinal head ache- not fun. This was taken a two weeks after we were home.

Testing

To all our faithful followers, I am finally learning how to blog!!!! Be back with more post on what we have been doing this summer.
