Our sister-friend

This is my babysitter's little girl, whom we have all grown to love as part of our family. She went with us for pictures last week and I wanted to make sure I asked her mommy before posting these pictures, but isn't she a doll?

Update and Pics

Boy, am I behind or what??? Here are some new pics. . . the first is Gentry at Easter. I loved his suit and of course, he was ready for the camera. . . I've got better pics but this is one of my favorite angles of him. . .

This was Gabe the wedding weekend (first of April).

This pic of a happy Gabe was taken by his loving babysitter a couple of weeks ago. I've been so blessed to find such a wonderful caretaker for my children.

This is the newest picture of Gabe. Its hard to tell in this picture but his hair is really dark and getting long. His eyes are also changing, they will definately be dark like his daddy's eyes.

These are some pictures I took of Gentry last week also. My camera is currently on the fritz and I had to borrow a friend's camera. I hope to have my camera fixed or a new camera soon. . . it's killing me not to be able to take weekly pictures of my growing boys.

Where has the time gone????

Hard to believe the Gabe is now 6 weeks old and probably over 10 lbs. Unfortunately this means I have to go back to work in 2 1/2 weeks. I'm looking forward to getting back into the swing of things but not looking forward to leaving my little one behind. It has been more difficult this time since I know what all I missed with Gentry. . . . ANYWHO. . . . here are some pictures from the past couple of weeks (including Easter).

This is Gabe and his (and Gentry's) papaw (my dad). They are all dolled up for my sister's wedding. It was absolutely beautiful! (more pictures from that later. . . )

Here is our little happy family on easter. Gabe wasn't real happy and I'm now wondering why I wore that dress.. . .

This is what Gabe looked like most of the day. he slept through all the festivities.

My big boy as always was ready for the camera in his little linen suit. Such a little man!

Almost two weeks

Its hard to believe but Monday Gabe will be 2 weeks old. He's been growing and gaining weight very well. I'm interested to see what he weighs when we go back to the doctor next week. I am so thankful to all our friends and family who have been so kind to come by and check on us and especially to the ones who have brought food! We are so blessed!

Big brother is still getting the hang of having a little one in the house. But he has been such a big help! He likes to give Gabe his bottles and even has helped me with the dishes recently. I know it won't last long, I'm just trying to enjoy each moment.

Welcome Gabe!

Baby Gabe arrived Monday (3-2-09) weighing in at 7lb 8oz and was 19 1/2 inches long. He's absolutely perfect and we feel so blessed!

As you might imagine, big brother is truly excited. He calls us daily and asks how his brother is doing. Gabe has lost down to 6lb 14oz as of last night (3-3-09) we have begun supplimenting his diet in hopes of stopping the weight loss. We are still hoping to go home tomorrow some time.

Thanks to everyone for the calls, support and prayers. We are blessed to be surrounded by such wonderful and loving friends and family!

What a fun Weekend! :)

We had a wonderful weekend in the cabins at Desoto State Park and then on Saturday we went to the Tennessee Aquarium. Needless to say Gentry had a completely wonderful time! **DISCLAIMER - Some of these pictures are not the best quality. I had a hard time figuring out the right setting for a extremely excited 3 year old in a very dark enviroment. Any suggestions are greatly appriciated!**

The picture above is Gentry "petting" one of the pinguins through the glass. The pinguins loved all the attention and would stay right at the glass from time to time as if trying to please the children. It was adorable!

The next picture is one of my favorites. In this particular shot you can't see any of the large turtles or sharks but there were many in this tank. Gentry had a longer attention span at this tank than most adults that I saw. He loved watching the fish swim back and forth and waiting for the sharks to come back by from time to time.



Picture on the left are some large jelly fish that I became enthralled with watching. They were so hypnotic! I'm glad the picture turned out like it did.

No, Gentry is not petting a fish. . . this was a photographic mural (not sure that is the right word) that I asked him to pose for me in the lobby. He was such a good sport.

Look closely at what this little gator is sitting on, when we first looked it took us a minute to see the full picture. Isn't it sweet?

We all had a wonderful time. I did get a little worn out from all the walking but there were ample places to rest and watch my men enjoying all the amazing sites. I would suggest this little day trip to anyone! More pictures from the rest of our weekend later. . . .

Thanksgiving Day Pictures

I'm trying to get the hang of taking my own pictures of Gentry. I'm starting to like what I'm doing so I think that means something. . . :)

We went to a few places on thanksgiving day before the festivities started to get some pictures. We had a great time with family and over all a wonderful long weekend!!!
