Baptism Video

Marked as Christ's Own Forever...

Today was Hattie's baptism. It was a wonderful service and our families were in town. Julie (Brad's sister) & Clay (Liz's brother) are the God-parents.

Christmas at Orange Beach

Our first Christmas with Hattie has been wonderful. Having this little girl in our family now has given us a new perspective on the nativity story & the incarnation. To think that God became vulnerable and helpless in a little baby, all out of love and trust of humankind, is beautiful. I continue to be amazed at how much Hattie teaches us about life, love, and faith.

Cutest Cousins

Hattie & Nyla have finally had the chance to meet. Christmas at Orange Beach has been wonderful. The babies had more presents to open than all the adults combined. They look like best pals!

Before & After

Please don't call child services. This is just a funny picture. Hattie sleeps just fine with out the aid of Irish Whisky.

Filling Big Shoes...

Hopefully Hattie will never wear a size 13 shoe. As far as expectations go though, she continues each day to exceed what I ever hoped a daughter would be and constantly amazes me. I've said to several people that it's like someone hit the fast-forward button when she was born. Though only two-and-a-half months old, she's growing up so fast. She's found her fingers to suck on, she's really close to sitting up on her own, and with mom or dad holding her hands she can stand up from a sitting position. With her faces and personality, we expect her to start laughing out loud any day now. Absolutely amazing.

Bed-time Stories

I like it when my mommy reads to me. It's so exciting I can't sit down! I have to stand up on her lap and listen.

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas

Do we look alike?

Hanging out at the gym

Friday was Liz's second day back to work, and Brad got to spend the whole day with Hattie. We also got to spend some time with Daniel & Andrew.
