Tis the season.. to update!

It has now been well over a year since I have had the chance to update - which should give you an idea of how hectic our lives have been!

To catch up.. I have just recently completed my last undergraduate semester of classes and will be student teaching at White County Middle School from January to the end of April. Then, I will graduate (right on time - might I add)! As of right now, we are filled with excitement for two reasons: 1) it is almost Christmas, and 2) Matthew landed himself a "big boy" job at United Community Bank right up the street from where we live.

Our sweet Baylee Rae gets more perfect as each day passes. She brings more joy to our lives than we could have ever imagined. She has the most beautiful smile with her nine little teeth and the most precious voice to say "Mama," "Dada," "baby," "bye-bye," and "Nini," (which we think is the name she has chosen for her grandma). It has been such a blessing to spend so much time with her, as we have been able to watch her ourselves over the past year. In the next few weeks we will take another step in our journey by putting her in daycare. But, I think she will love it!

She is excellent at walking around all of our furniture, appliances, and legs.. however, she is a tiny bit scared to let go (and I am in no way complaining)! Hopefully soon she will conquer her fears - but for now, we are just taking it one step at a time!

I plan to keep this blog updated as much as I have time to do so. Although, I think I've heard that somewhere before! Thanks to everyone who has supported us along the way.. nothing compares to the love of a child, nor the support of such wonderful family and friends.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!
