We're back. It's been a while I know. As soon as we set up our new blog, our motherboard to our
pc kicked the bucket. We were lucky enough to find a good deal and replace the computer. Thank goodness. So, our holidays were the best! We kicked things off with a Christmas party for
Jax at the Columbus
NICU where he stayed. We were able to show him off and re-connect with
the doctors and nurses there. We were amazed of the overwhelming feeling of "going back home" that we felt when we were there. That place is so familiar to us. We are blessed with our new friendships there at the hospital and the Ronald McDonald House. After that celebration we then whisked off to Lubbock to have
Jax's first Christmas with his Mimi and
PawPaw. Our other nephews were able to meet
Jax for the first time. Graham just gravitated towards him and boy did
Jax love his cousins! While back in the
Hubb City we had the pleasure of meeting baby Noah and seeing our family, the
Moores and
Hendersons. It was an event...a blessed one with so many little ones running around. A big thanks to the
Jarboes for having us all get together...it meant more to us than you realize. We then made our way back to the
ATL and settled back into the swing of things. But not too long after that, we celebrated our Christmas with my side. My parents came down from
Charlotte and my brother and sister-in-law came over with our new nephew, Nico. Man, these two new
grandboys were
spoiled by their Pops and Nana! We had a great time and I cooked my first official Christmas dinner, ham and all without a hitch! I'm becoming quite domestic...guess it took a kid for that! So now, finally, and I mean now...as in last night, we took our Christmas decorations down. We loved Christmas this past year. We had so much to be thankful and so much to celebrate. With this new year we hope to remain as wide-eyed as
Jax above! Wide-eyed and amazed with what God has in store for the
NCC congregation, our family, and for all of God's Kingdom. We thirst to learn and experience more. God has some great things planned...we can feel it!
We spend January 1 walking through our lives, room by room, drawing up a
list of work to be done, cracks to be patched. Maybe this year, to balance
the list, we ought to walk through the rooms of our lives... not looking for
flaws, but for potential. ~Ellen Goodman

That's one handsome little Gray!!! I am finally seeing pictures of him. I knew there were some complications, but I had no idea he was in the NICU for 6 weeks. Bless his heart!! So thankful to see him and know that you guys are well. Would love to really catch up this time!
I bet you're a good momma, Amanda! Much love to you both!
