Our Family

Only have time to post the pics for now, but wanted to put some of my favorite latest one's on the blog to share with all of you. I will try to do better!

Some more pics...

Jackson

Aunt Leslie again . . .

I just wanted to post a few pictures of Jackson from last night. He was able to come out of the nursery last night and spend some time with the family. Everybody got to cuddle with him and he finally got to rest surrounded by his big sister, momma and daddy. Being the silly aunt I am, I hadn't even expected to see him so I had no camera. Lucky for us, his daddy has the super cool iPhone and was able to snap a few and send them to me for this update.

Momma and baby are resting very comfortably and you can tell Courtni's feeling better because she's having Chicken Alfredo and chocolate cake and asking for Monkey Bread of all things. :) But, she's got to keep her strength up because once she leaves the hospital it's goodbye mom of one, hello mom of TWO! As her sister I will just wait and see how that works for her before Scott and I take that plunge.

Jackson Dyer Hamilton has arrived!

Special guest blogger today: it's Aunt Leslie!!

Mr. Jackson Dyer Hamilton joined the clan this morning at 8:03 a.m. He weighed in at 7 lb, 14 oz and was 18 1/2 inches long. He's doing well though he's spending some time in a special care section of the nursery because he was so excited to see Aunt (okay, maybe I'm not the cause) that he was breathing a little TOO fast. But we expect him to be out soon and spending time cuddling with mom, dad, and big sister Hailee. They're all doing well and aside from wanting to see their baby boy soon, are all resting comfortably.

Here are some pics so far. I apologize that there aren't many of the man himself but since we haven't gotten a real close up, you get what I have . . .

Happy 30 Years Mom and Dad!

Mom and Dad celebrated their 30th wedding anniversary on October 6th. Thank you both for showing Leslie and I all these years of what a committed marriage, friendship, and partnership can look like! You're relationship to one another has given all of us an outline to mirror. Your love, care, support, and affection for one another is exemplary and wonderful to watch. Mom, you have taught Leslie and I a lot about what it takes to be a wife and woman of substance, and Dad, you played a huge role in who we chose for our husbands, you always wanted the very best for us. I think we did great! Love to you both. Congrats on 30 years, here's to another 30!
