Happy Anniversary, Jason!

Today is our 5th anniversary. I can hardly believe it's been five years. I have loved every minute of it! You are a wonderful husband and an amazing father. I love seeing you playing with and loving on our girls. It has been a fabulous 5 years and I look forward to many many more!

Here is an engagement picture from fall '03, and 2 pictures from our wedding.


We did have plans for the evening, but . . . being the wife of a resident, you have to know that things don't always go how you plan them. I was all dressed up with no place to go. Jason was in a long surgery and didn't get home till almost 9pm. By that time, I was nursing Reese (again), and totally exhausted. (Reese had decided to boycott sleeping at night the previous 3 nights.) So, our anniversary celebration will be postponed . . .

Merry Christmas!!

This is the first Christmas we've spent here with just our little family. And, we really had a nice Christmas. It was very laid back. Jason was on call Christmas Eve and spent the majority of the night at Children's Hospital and Reese decided she wanted see Santa (aka stay up all night). So, we were both pretty exhausted. It was nice to just hang out together at home. God has truly blessed me with such a precious family!

Here are some pictures of my sweeties from the past week or so.

Reagan's Big Debut

The kids sang in church last Sunday. It was precious. However, Jason & I joke that the church paid extra kids to come and sing. I've never seen half of these kids before. I'm guessing they are grandkids of members or something like that.

Here is a link to the video of their performance.

Enjoy!

Reagan & Evan

These two cousins were quite the pair. They played so hard and had so much fun when he was in town!! They are only 7wks apart in age and we get asked quite often if they're twins. From these pics, you can see why.

Family Visit #2

Jason's family also came in to meet Reese and celebrate an early Christmas with us. We had a great time while they were here. Here are some pictures. But, I'm saving the ones of Reagan and Evan for their own post. They had such a great time playing together and there are so many precious pictures.

Family Visit #1

My family (with the exception of DeeDee who was already here) came in the week after Reese was born to meet her and to celebrate Thanksgiving. Here are lots of pictures from their visit.
