Happy Birthday Daniel!

We had planned a party for Daniel and Benton for the whole family/extended family, but due to our "ice storm" (ha ha...you know, the southern kind), we have postponed the party until this coming Saturday (which, by the way, they are calling for the same kind of weather).

We were able to celebrate with my parents, Alli, Sarah, and the Bundricks (and a few other people). It turned out to be quite the celebration..

I am so grateful for Daniel. God has given us a precious gift. The time has gone by so quickly!!!

Memories

Throughout my pregnancy there was a group of 5 of "us girls" who blogged together....each of us were expecting our first baby. I was looking back at some of the entries tonight and just enjoyed "re-living" the memories. How grateful I am for the precious son God has given to us and for the friends and family who encourage us along the journey of parenting. We have been given a tremendous responsibility from the Lord, and as daunting as the task may seem at times (yes, even now), what a wonderful promise to know that He gives us His wisdom and His Word to lead us along!

I Love SC weather (most of the time)...

The weather today was absolutely gorgeous...it felt like spring. It is nice to have a little variety in the temperature "extremes." I am hoping for a big snow, though...nice and fluffy (which is not what we usually get, but maybe)...and only lasting a few days! You never know. This is SC!

:) Ready to go...

Today was a whole day at home (minus a couple of errands, one of which included Wal-Mart...not a good idea for the first weekend the Clemson students are back :). All of the Christmas decorations are put away; the laundry is completely finished; the house is back in order. It was a wonderful holiday season, but I am ready to get back into a regular routine! Daniel will be one in just 3 weeks. Where has the time gone?

Happy New Year

We had a wonderful day with the Campbell family, especially enjoying Monroe and Katie's visit. In fact, we sisters decided to start a new blog: http://www.cincocooking.blogspot.com. Right now bread pudding is in the oven. Yes, we are starting the new year off with a bang, that is a bang to the diet. How about starting that diet on Monday?
