My Sweetest Boys

I was finally able to capture a parital smile on Chandler's face. He is smiling more & more everyday. He's such a HAPPY baby! I love these pictures!

My Buddy

This is my buddy, Asher Middleton. He is 4 weeks older than me and we are the bestest of friends!
In fact, he like me so much he doesn't mind if I "yak" on him from time to time...what a pal!


7 Weeks & A Haircut

Before the trimming begins
Goodbye side-burns & "Little Elvis"

When are you people going to be done?!


Finally finished!
Chandler did very well with his first haircut, he was awake for the first part but then fell asleep. He didn't cry at all. I think by the time he is 1 he will be used to the trimmings!

Proud father


Snuggling with daddy in the hospital

Happy Halloween

Since he wasn't even 2 weeks old yet, we didn't participate in the usual Halloween festivities, I know he will be all geared up for it next year, we just dressed up in our pumpkin hat & pumpkin mittens this year!

Everything is all set up and ready for his arrival. Once we name him I plan on hanging his name over his crib...will it be Chandler or Grason? We are both so excited about finally meeting our miracle....1 more day!

The "T.P." Game
How many sheets of toilet paper does it take to fit around my pregnant belly?

The answer is 12

BELLY BUDDY FRIENDS
I have been so blessed in being able to share this incredible pregnancy experience with 2 wonderful friends: Courtney (due any day now) Me and Heather (due several weeks after me)
We are all having BOYS too!

Who has the bigger belly?



James & I posing in the nursery at the beginning of 32 weeks. I think I finally passed him up...my belly is bigger! Am I really going to get bigger than this?!* I hope to have nursery pictures posted soon.

Chandler Grason...

Here is our little man, approximately weighing in at 4.5 lbs & I'm only into my 31st week!! He is a bit on the large side and I have another sono scheduled in 4 weeks to check his size/weight. I think he takes after his mother as I was a hefty 9lb 4 0z @ birth! We are thinking he might be coming a few weeks early, we are certainly ready to meet our little miracle! You might have noticed the title, that isn't the name we have officially decided to go with that's just what his Grammy (my mom) calls him because James & I are still undecided. It's still a toss up between Chandler Bruce (both family names) or Grason James.

The "offical" cat house

I love my cats, what can I say?! Since I was a little girl I have always taken in "strays". Somethings never change! James married into cats and I married into dogs. Together we love all 10 (6 cats & 4 dogs) of our critters! Our vet loves us too! :)
Here it is the indoor/outdoor cat house, complete with a bed, "love"seat, climbing tree, kitty decorations, ceiling fan, and A/C! Are they rotten or what? :)
Sweetest "loves"(MS & Winks) enjoying the cool weather after one of the many May rain thunderstorms.
