Staying Home

Today is my first offical day as a Stay At Home Mommy. I love it. It is the way that it should be...at least for me and Evie. She spent her first night last night in her big girl crib in her own room, and she did better than mommy did with it. I am so blessed to be able to spend my time with this amazing little creature. My prayer is that God will continue to watch over her and care for her through me. What a gift to be the caretaker of this beautiful girl. God says that before she was even formed, He knew her...how awesome is that, and how Awesome is He?

She Stands

Evie is 6 months old as of yesterday...and boy does she wear her mommy out! Here is a vidoe of her at 5 1/2 months old, standing! Her new thing now is to pull up and let go, she hasn't successfully been free-standing for any significant amount of time yet, but she is getting there. (Oh! And the trash bag is full of clothes, not trash...if that matters to anyone!)

Winter 2009

This was one of my favorite outfits this year...I can't believe how many things she has out grown. Little Stinker...



And here we are trying to sit up for the camera.

Here are some random photos just to catch up...it is so crazy trying to keep up with work, a baby, a husband, and a social life!!! So Sorry Shay! Enjoy a couple new Evie pics.


Aunt Jessi took this one...posing for the camera.

Reagan caught this one when she was a couple of weeks old...Daddy hates this bow!

Again at 3 weeks.

I took this one when Daddy and Evie were watching football for the first time. It is so funny that she LOVES to look at the t.v. She will prop her head up like in this photo and just watch the colors. Last night she actually started crying every time that she couldn't see the t.v. while eating her night time bottle...it is really funny! I can't believe that she is over 3 months old! Time flies!

The Many Faces of Evelyn

I just love that she has started to smile...



And Smile....

And do whatever this is....

And she looks so pretty for the camera...

She is working on her poses....

We just love watching our little girl grow. It happens so fast! I can't believe that she is 7 weeks old this Friday! My goodness! I am NOT looking forward to returning to work. Mommy just loves being a mommy! I am certain that there will be some anxiety on both our parts when that happens...God is good and he will work it all out the way that is best for all of us.

Catching Up

I love this photo...I was trying to catch her smiling...

First Bath...

I love her little foot in this one, this was her first day home...

And finally, dad and baby were just plumb tuckered!

Things have been a little busy around here lately! Today is my official due date, and boy am I glad that she came early! Evelyn is 10 days old today! I never dreamed how many diapers and dirty onesies I would be cleaning every day! She is truely a gift and I am enjoying being her mommy. Here are a few pictures just to get caught up. We have had some nearly sleepless nights, been to the Dr, and sang lots of silly songs so far! There have been baths, and crying, smiles and bubble noises...it just doesn't get any better than this!

Evelyn Ruth is here!!!!

On Friday July 10th at 6:28pm Evelyn Ruth made her debut! At 7 pounds 1 ounce and 20 inches long, she is our own little piece of heaven. God is so good!
