7 Weeks

Oh how time flies in this house lately!  Has it really been a full month since I last posted?  The bucket list of what has been going on in our home these past few weeks:

  • My sister-in-law, nephews and my aunt all came from out of town for a visit.
  • Peyton was baptized.
  • A shopping trip to Albertville was made.
  • A trip to Iowa was taken to visit Greg's sister, my brother-in-law and my adorable nephews.
  • Peyton smiled for the first time.
Oh so much to update on!  First things first - Peyton's baptism.  It was such a blessed weekend filled with family and friends.  The feeling I get when one of my children is being given to God is overwhelming.  To feel the hand of God on the little one he has charged me with raising actually gives me goosebumps.


No pictures were taken of our trip to Albertville but here are some from the wonderful visit we had with Janelle, Dale and the boys in Iowa.






And finally, some of the most wonderful news.  We have very dear friends who were due to have their third baby about a month after I was due to have Peyton.  Unfortunately, little baby Grant had to come into the world 4 weeks early via emergency c-section.  He was not expected to live and by the grace of God alone, he made the most amazing strides and after more than 4 weeks in the NICU, he was able to come home!  Peyton met her new BFF the other day - he is a cutie!


Just because I think she's so cute - here are a few more Peyton pictures:

Those pics are SO cute! Who would have thought Peyton would look so huge (next to precious little Grant, that is). And that pic of Peyton and her favority auntie laying on the bed is in Albertville, so there was 1 picture taken there:)
