Shout out to Addie and Ford's biggest fan...

Bethany Adams...

Bethany loves to come and visit Addie and Ford.

Gmom Visit

Samantha's grandmother aka "Gmom" or "GGM" came to visit us this week. She stayed with us from Wednesday to Sunday.

During the week, we watched the Olympics, changed diapers, bathed Addie and Ford, weathered tropical storm Fay...complete with a power outage, watched a movie...quite an accomplishment and made up verses to "Little Ford, Little Ford" in the spirit of "Brown Bear, Brown Bear".

Birth Announcement

Addie and Ford are a good bit bigger than when this picture was taken for their birth announcement. At last measure today - unofficially - Ford - 11 lbs; Addie - 8 lbs 11 oz

Thanks to the Jennings for letting us borrow their scale.

A Big Day

Well, August 7 was a big day...Addie and Ford officially turned ONE MONTH OLD...er...YOUNG.

Here's how we celebrated...

We ate...

We slept...

We had cookie cake...

BG has been with us from the beginning

BG has been with us since Addie and Ford were born - helping Sam during the day and night shift, keep the whole family fed and helping to keep the house running while we get used to having the kids around.

BG doesn't end up in too many pictures though, because she's usually the one who is taking them.

Ford and Addie's first two weeks

We have finally given in to the blog world. We know that there is no way we can keep up with everyone through email lists, etc. so we set this up so pictures will be of no shortage whenever you have time to view them all. Thank you so much for all your encouragement and support. We certainly have a wonderful network of friends and family.
