Meeting Anna


I just couldn't stand it anymore, so I drove down to B'ham Sat. to finally meet Anna Grace Peterson. She is SO precious!!!! I loved my time with Robin and Todd and being able to just hang out with them. I forgot how much a newborn sleeps and how much you really do just sit around. Life is definitely different with a toddler :) Thanks Kevin for having a Daddy day with Graham and allowing me such sweet time with the Peterson Family!!

We Survived the ER


We survived our first and hopefully last (let's get real, we're raising a boy) trip to the ER. Graham tripped and fell onto the brick wall on our patio last night and ended up with a gash on his forehead. We were totally bummed that the Urgent Care places were closed because we were not looking forward to spending our Sunday night at the ER. But after 2 1/2 hours we were done and Graham got his gash glued and steri-stripped ... thankfully no stictches!! It was definitely a bummer being there but it gave me such perspective on Graham's health and how much God has blessed us.

College Gameday at Vandy!!

We took Graham to College Gameday on Vandy's campus this morning. It was an incredible atmosphere and luckily Graham was very entertained since it was during his naptime.

Down, Set, Hut

Jackson's family came, too.
Jake was sweet to share his snack
What a FUN morning!! And what an unbelievable night. Vandy is now 5-0 and #1 in the SEC East! Kevin is already making plans to go to our bowl game :)

Visit to Memphis

Dinner at Lee and Eliot's with some of the Wilson Clan
I like your new house, Wils
At the zoo with Bet Bet
Graham and I took a trip to Memphis to visit with family and friends ... we sure did have a blast!!! We spent lots of time with Wils ... hanging out at his house, at Snacks and Bet Bet's house, and at the zoo. I must say that it sure is nice being in the same city as grandparents. I had more time to myself in the last 5 days than I probably have had in the past 5 weeks, and I didn't have to spend a dime :) But I think that since our time together is rare, that's what makes it so special. I'm sure I'd take if for granted if I had it all the time. Anyway, thanks Snacks, Bet Bet, Pops, and Gigi for a fun time!!

Happy Birthday Sweet Baby Boy



I know every mom says it, but you'll have to hear it from me, too ... I cannot believe that my baby boy is 1 year old. It truly has been an incredible year!! We had a birthday party for Graham at our house Saturday, and he had a blast playing outside, eating cake, and opening presents. Kevin and I really appreciate our family and friends coming to celebrate our boy's big day.

Go Dores!!

We took Graham to the first half of the Vandy game last Saturday night. It was a bit different from last year since he was only 5 weeks old then and slept pretty much the entire time. His dinner entertained him for the first 20 min. and he liked that noise, but he was a bit wiggly. All in all, it was a fun night and Graham was a wonderful good luck charm :)

Walking on Sunshine

I'm having to face the fact that I have a toddler now and not a baby anymore. We took Graham to the Richland pool yesterday for one last time this summer. I shot this video of him walking through the fountains. I must say, he's getting pretty good at his walking and can now even stand from the floor. He has really enjoyed the pool this summer!! I was thinking about how different it will be when we go next June ... he'll probably jump to me in the water. I'm going to have to get creative thinking of things to do now that we won't be going to the pool at least once a week anymore. I'm sure we'll think of something :)
