Home Sweet Home

We arrived back in Texas after a two day drive to discover one more present from Santa! I put it together immediately (what a beast!) and Caroline LOVES it! This should keep her entertained for quite a while. . .

Highlights from Alabama

Our trip (which we thought would be a vacation) was a very busy one! After a VERY long drive and 12 days at home, here are a few highlights. . .

-Caroline got to meet lots of people for the first time: Clay and Nadia, Aunt Jaki and cousin Alex, Rex and his family, Aunt Wanda and Uncle Shawn, Papa, the Steeles, the Rays, all the people at Enterprise Chevrolet, the McKinneys, Auntie Carol, Auntie Sarah, Angela, the Bocks, Molly Schellin, and Rusty Locklar.

-we had Caroline's 3 month photos taken at Moseley Studios in Elba (pictures to follow soon)

-I decided to whack off all of my hair (since it was falling out anyway). . .THANKS, NAD! =)

-Celebrated Grammy and Grampy's 40th Wedding Anniversary

-Celebrated Uncle Eric's 35th birthday

-Caroline rolled over from back to front, but hasn't done it again. She's growing up so quickly! =(

-Most of all, we enjoyed spending time with our family and friends and we're looking forward to doing it again soon!

Auntie Sarah

Sarah came down from Columbus on New Year's Day to meet her Goddaughter. We had a wonderful day and she even brought presents! We can't wait to see you again. . .we miss you already!

Christmas Day

Christmas was a relaxing day. . .I think it was the only day we didn't leave the house. My Dad came over for Christmas dinner and to meet his granddaughter for the first time. We had a great time!

Christmas Eve

First we went to my Mom's for Christmas Eve dinner and we ended the night at the Ray's Christmas Eve party. So fun!

The Stelkers

Ray, Jayme, Caeleb, Alaura and Hailey came to visit us the Sunday we left for Alabama. We didn't leave until 11:00 pm, so we had all day to catch up. It was wonderful to see them and I'm thrilled that they finally got to meet Caroline. I think Ray was quite taken with her. . .he snuggled with her a lot! We had lunch with Marie, Ray's Dad and Grandma and Kenny at Rosa's (which was delicious as always). I wish we had been in town a few more days, but our time together was priceless! Thanks for swinging by on your way to Corpus! We sure did enjoy it! Miss y'all! =)

First of all. . .

I must apologize for taking weeks to post. Christmas was CRAZY BUSY and I've spent the week we've been home getting the house back in order. So now that the apology is out of the way, let the posting begin! =)
