Ella's hospital birth pics

I know these pics are 4 months old, but I just got them back from the photographer.  Since it took so long I got the CD of the pictures for free!

Santa pics

Last night we went to Bass Pro Shop to take pics with Santa.  The boys and Ella did great.  These are the sweet pictures I took.  (I think Santa had a long day!)

Ella with her brothers

Tonight we had a little photo session with my new camera.  I'm still figuring it out. I decided since Ella will be 4 months old next week, it was time for some new pics.  As you can see, Graham wasn't that into it.  He just wanted to be silly.  Garrett loved getting his picture taken with Ella, as usual.  My next attempt will be a photo session in their Christmas outfits.  That should be entertaining!!!

Jodi just wanted to get in the sun after the race...doesn't she look cute in her leopard headband!
The Cross's, the Gentry's and the Jackson's
Steven in his "foil" after the race
Jodi in her "foil" after the race.  We laughed because everyone looked the same after the race when they were wrapped up
The runners!!!

We spent the weekend in Memphis with two other couples.  It was our first get-away since having Ella.  We had so much fun.  The reason we went to Memphis was to support our friends running the St. Jude half marathon.  They all 3 did great!  We can't wait for our next get-away weekend with friends!!! 

I do...

  West Lauderdale High School Senior Prom 1994

10 years ago today I said, "I do" to my best friend.  Jeremy and I have been friends since we were 6 years old and he became my best "guy" friend when we were 16.  We started dating the beginning of our Senior year even though we were so afraid we were going to mess up our friendship.  6 years later we were married. "I can't fight this feeling anymore. What started out as friendship has grown strong" (by REO Speedwagon was one of our favorite songs - that one and "In my dreams."!!!) I can just see us riding around in his little navy blue truck holding hands and thinking "when are we ever going to be able to get married?"

Over the past 10 years we lived in 8 different apartments/houses, had 3 children and 1 dog, Jeremy's had 3 different careers, and 8 years of medical school/training!!!  Although the past 10 years haven't always been easy, I wouldn't trade any of it.  I hope the next 10 years with my best friend are even more wonderful than I can imagine!!!
