Covenant of Baptism

My little buddy was baptized last weekend. What a special time with our family as we celebrated God's covenant promises to him:

Missing a few of the uncles:

Cousin Ashley and her husband Jared were able to come, too!

Auntie Kat:

Match Day

My brother, Robby, matched for residency at UAB, his number one choice! We are so very proud of him:

The Johnsons are sweet friends who came to cheer Robby on:

The Johnsons invited us to the Club for lunch after the match:

Cousin's Wedding

It's been a long while since I posted, so I will give a brief update in pictures about all that I have been up to! My cousin Jonathan married his sweetheart Megan a few weeks ago, and we had a blast at their wedding:

My little buddy!

Photo shoot with my little buddy and his pretty mommy!

Such a happy little camper!

Just a sneak peek at one of the photos we took in his baptism dress. Don't want to spoil it by showing the entire photo shoot before Ivey is ready!

Happy Lovey Day!

Happy Lovey Day! I think that making and decorating over 100 heart-shaped cookies would definitely qualify me for being in the mood for Valentine's Day! :) These were for a bake sale at work. I know that this day is very commercialized, but I still have to say that I love this day! I am thankful for a reminder to tell those around me that I love them.

I am thankful for the unconditional love of my family and friends, but most of all, I am thankful for the love of God!

Happy Birthday, Grandmother!

Last Friday, my sweet grandmother turned 80 years old! She is a beautiful women inside and out, and I am so thankful for her. Here she is at Thanksgiving holding her great-grandson: She said that what she wanted on her 80th birthday was a Varsity hotdog! We surprised her with a visit, and stood at her door wearing Varsity hats! She was so surprised! Happy Birthday to my sweet grandmother! I love you!

Busy....

Life is super busy these days. When I am not at work, I can usually be found surrounded by these: That would be ECHD 1999 Introduction to Child Life. Teaching 34 students can get time consuming! But, I am LOVING it!
