And the Award Goes to...


Best Daddy Award


I have always known that God blessed me with the greatest husband. Now I know that not only do I have the best husband, but Jennings has the greatest father in the world! I don't know how we would have survived without Caleb. He has washed clothes, cleaned house, cooked meals, grocery shopped (he despises shopping) and the list could go on and on. It is so amazing to watch him interact with Jennings, you can see the love glowing in his eyes.


Thank you Caleb for being not only the best husband, but also the best father! We love you to the moon and back!

I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas

Jennings 1st Christmas was such a special time with family. We spent this Christmas with the ones that we love and truly reflected on the meaning of Christmas. Having a newborn makes the Christmas story come to life. We are so grateful this Christmas season for the best Christmas present.


We began our celebration with the in-laws in Brookhaven.




We traveled to Houston to celebrate with the Tillman clan.



Next stop, my parents house. We spent Christmas Eve night at my parents house and woke to all the goodies that Santa left! ( Jennings was thrilled as you can see in all of the pics :))



And most exciting, Jennings 1st Christmas was a white one!!





We hope your Christmas was as merry as ours!

Extra Special Delivery

What special Christmas Gift!

December 3 began as any other day. Caleb and I both got up and prepared to face the work day. This was to be my last day at work because I was going to be induced on December 7. I had planned several fun activities to complete with my students, but after having a few labor symptoms that morning, I called the doctor and left a message. They called back almost immediately and said come in just to be sure I wasn't in labor. I called Caleb and he met me at the clinic. We both had no idea that she would really arrive on that day! We had planned on completing many items on our to do list and buying those last few items that weekend. After several tests, it was determined that I was in labor and our little blessing, that we had waited 38 long weeks to meet, would really arrive that day! We called all of our family and friends and began preparing to meet our little angel. Jennings was born at 9:02 p.m. by c-section and welcomed by many. All the waiting was so worth it, especially to hear that glorious first cry!

We came home from the hospital on December 5. We have been blessed with wonderful family and friends that provided food and helped along the way. We don't know what we would have done with out everyone. Thanks so much!












Often times, Caleb and I wonder what in the world we did before this little angel entered our lives! We just sit and stare in amazement at God's handiwork.














As you can tell, I haven't quite figured out how to line things up or arrange them exactly how I want. Hopefully I will figure it out soon.
