A Playdate with Nana and Aunt April

Lyla Brooke loves to lay and play on her playmat. She will look around at all the bright colors as she coos and smiles. Here are a few pictures of her at my mom's house playing with my mom and sister.

And on this day we dedicate you to God.

Today at church Chris and I dedicated Lyla Brooke to God. It was such a wonderful day and we are so fortunate that God allowed us to bring this sweet little life into the world. It is a privilege to be able to give her back to God; to promise Him that we will raise her in a Christian environment and teach her the right paths to take. We strive daily to do as God would have us to do in her life and to love and provide for to the best of our ability. God has truly blessed me with such a wonderful husband, daughter and family. It is my duty to serve and follow him and I am so glad that I am able to say that I have such a wonderful Christian husband to help me in that. Our pastor and his family worked very hard on the presentation for today and Chris and I are very appreciative of all they did and have done for us. I was so glad that my Mom, Dad , Mamaw and sister were there to take part in this special day with Chris and me.

And the stones were rolled away.

Last Wednesday I had surgery on my kidney stones. Everything went well and recovery has been great. I have actually not taken any more pain medicine since Thursday morning and was out and about this weekend in moderation. I just wanted to thank everyone who prayed for me to pull through this. I was more scared about the anesthesia than the procedure. Chris and I are so fortunate to have such great family and friends! We would not know what to do with out all of you. We are especially thankful for my mom and dad who kept her all day and night on Wednesday and for my mom who kept her Thursday and Friday so that I could rest. I hope that this is the last time that I have to deal with those crazy stones!!

Thanks Nana and Grandad!

Last night we went to dinner with my Mom, Dad and sister at Logan's. It was very yummy and we all ate until we were stuffed!! After dinner we went to the mall to do a little shopping. Of course we just had to go to Baby Gap ....a store that I never even stepped foot in until Lyla Brooke was born , but am now entering EVERYTIME I go to the mall! It was so hard to just buy a few things, but lucky for us we had Nana and Grandad along to buy some extra items that were too cute to pass up!! Thanks so much for the new clothes for Lyla Brooke she will love wearing them!!

Our Bundle of Joy!

Lyla Brooke's Nana bought this shirt for her and I could not wait for her to wear it. She was going to wear it along with some matching pants to dinner last night. However, before we could make it out of the house she accidentally went poo all over the back of her shirt. It was cute while it lasted and I was able to capture some pictures of her in the few minutes that she had it on. It is funny because in one of the pictures she just happened to be pointing at the words Bundle of Joy as if she was saying " Yeh thats me alright !! " She truly is our bundle of JOY and we thank God for her daily!!!

Photo session saturday with Daddy

Ready for the snow!

I found these cute white furry boots and just could not resist buying them for her. She did not seem too interested in them but at least she lets me out them on her!
