I should probably start by saying...
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
2008...
I can't believe it is here already!
And we are off to a great start, to say the least!
Elizabeth is exactly one month old today ~ Happy 1 month Birthday, my precious girl!! We took her in for her 4 week appointment on Wednesday, and our belief that she is very healthy and is doing very well was confirmed. Our sweet girl that was born at 6 pounds 12 ounces and left the hospital at 6-3 28 hours after birth is already at 9-4! We are all doing great; Elizabeth is a very easy baby, and Alli is a precious big sister ~ and a big help!

Needless to say, both of our little princesses have their Daddy wrapped around their little fingers! Is there anything sweeter than a Daddy and his little girls?!?
I am a little bit late with my New Year's wishes.... We have been having computer problems, but I am glad to learn it isn't just my habit of being "technologically challenged" ~ there are actual issues with the computer. But, we're working on it.
We had a nice New Year's Eve. We spent it at the Bell's house with their family, as well as the Greers, Lewises, and some others. The kids were there, as well, to ring in 2008.
Not only are we starting the new year off with our precious new addition, but also we have great news: Brad found out that he passed his Boards!! We are all so proud of him!! He worked so very hard and more than deserves this, and we are all so glad the waiting and wondering are over for him!
Congratulations, Honey!!!
Speaking of Brad, I just had to throw in these pictures of his little "set up" in the driveway on Christmas Day. Here he is, frying our delicious turkey!

I can't believe my sweet infant is already one month old! Every day with both of our girls has been such a precious gift! We are settling into being a family of 4 very nicely and easily, so far.
We have had some special visitors this week. Last Saturday, several members of my Alabama (Randall) relatives visited. They get major kudos for driving a total of 14 hours to spend about 2 hours visiting with us! What an effort! Y'all have made us feel so very loved, and we appreciate your effort and time so much! And today, several members of Brad's family came down to see Elizabeth and Alli for a few hours. Again, thanks to all of you for your love, effort, and interest! I took pictures from both visits and will post them later.
Tomorrow would be my Daddy's 60th birthday. Such a milestone for anyone, yet bless his heart, he never even saw his 50th. I think of him often every day, and I miss him so much ~ especially now.... How I wish he was here to be with my sweet girls! But I feel his presence, his smile (for those of you who knew him, you know what I mean!), and his amazing sweet love constantly, so I know that he is still with us; even though I can't put my arms around him for a hug, he has his arms around all of us all of the time.
