Sisterly Love

The other day when Ava came home from school, she told me it was her turn to hold Anna!  My prayer is that the two girls will always be close with each other.

Happy Birthday Ava!

Happy Birthday to my big 4 year old!!  How in the world do I have a four year old.  It seems like just yesterday our precious Ava was born early, and we were learning how to parent not only our first child, but a preemie.  Now she is an incredible, smart, funny, energetic, friendly, loving, active four year old.  We began her birthday celebration by going up to the NICU at Kennestone to tell the ladies thank you for taking such great care of Ava.  I love the tradition of going up there, because it is a just a great reminder of how far God has taken us and how gracious He has been to our family.  We celebrated Ava's birthday with a Western themed birthday party at the house.  We had family and friends over, cooked out and even made smores.  It was a great day of celebrating the birthday of my precious first born!!

Christmas 2012

Merry Christmas!  It was a super fun Christmas 2012.  We started the celebration a few days before Christmas with Daddy and Ava making a special gingerbread house.  We then were able to get a Christmas card put together, to share the great news of the birth of Anna and a celebration of the growth of our family.  On Christmas Eve day, Grammy, Doc, Brad, Carri, Hudson and McClellen came to our house for a "Medcalf" celebration.  It was so fun seeing the three older cousins running around and playing together.  On Christmas day we went to Me-Me and Bob-Bob's house and had Christmas all together. It was so fun everyone together and get a picture with all the generations.  God has truly blessed our family!
