I’ve posted several updates about our friends little girl Alli, if you need to play catch up see the original post here, and here are some pics. The short version is that she was born at 28 weeks, which means she was 12 weeks premature. She’s been in the hospital for over a month already, [...]

If you got a sec, stop by Beck’s new blog and say, Yo what up! Beck is an amazing wife, mom, cook, painter, nap taker (like no one I’ve ever met) and eBay scout. I guarantee that her blog will be worth reading (a lot more so than my randomness) especially if you’re a mom. She [...]

Yesterday afternoon Bella and I were outside playing and I grabbed the camera and took a few shots. Hope you enjoy! Ok, so only the first one is a funny face, but its a good one. Blessed be childhood, which brings down something of heaven into the midst of our rough earthliness.      -Henri Frederic [...]

We found out last night that little Alli had to have a blood transfusion yesterday (read the rest of Alli’s story here). It had been mentioned Saturday that it was a possibility, but when Richard and Janna walked in on Sunday, Alli was right in the middle of the procedure. And as you can imagine [...]

Baby Alli is still doing really well (read the backstory here). She is a fighter! Beck and I went up to Birmingham earlier in the week to see them and I was able to snap a few pics. There are more here.    

First off let me just say thanks to everyone who has prayed for baby Alli. If you have no idea what the heck I’m talking about, read the original post here. Little Alli is doing great, only minor problems, most of which are normal considering she is 12 weeks early. Right now she is weighing [...]

I’d love to think that I was her number 1 crush, but that may be wishful thinking. She’s got some pretty serious crushing going on for Mr. Lenny Kravitz. But I’m ok with it because, number 1, I snagged her first (sucka), and 2nd I’ve got a little somethin’ for Angelina Jolie so it balances [...]

This is Richard and Janna Phelps, they are very good friends of ours that live near Birmingham. They are expecting their first child in September. Last night we got a call letting us know that Janna was being rushed to the hospital because she was diagnosed with preeclampsia. Which, as most of you know, is [...]

We went back down to the condo in Orange Beach for a few days last week with Shannon and fam, we had a great time, it just wasn’t long enough. As you can see we got a caricature of Bella done, I think its pretty darn cute. Being down there reminded me that I still [...]

I officially got my man-card last Friday. I’m now the proud owner of a grill. Beck got me my Fathers Day present a little early. Apparently I’m not man enough to get a charcoal one, but I thought I needed training wheels first so I went with gas. So far so good. I grilled burgers [...]

I’m interrupting my regular scheduled programming because this is just that important. Today, the women of my dreams is having a birthday. So I just wanted to take a minute and wish her the happiest of happy birthdays. I thought Gavin’s words fit better than my own…   I’m in love with a girl who [...]

It’s not easy being a mother. If it were easy, fathers would do it.   -The Golden Girls I’ve spent quit a few hours lately ‘being mom.’ And I’ve got to say its not easy. At all. I love my little girl more than anything in this world. And still it’s not easy. Because I’m [...]
