3rd Year

Here we go!! Justin left at 6:00 yesterday morning for the hospital to begin his 3rd year rotations at RMC in Anniston.  He will be completing his internal medicine roations for the first two months. He is so excited to be finished with the classroom part of medical school and to begin the "fun" part of school! :)

 

Here is our annual picture on the morning Justin starts a new year of school. What a difference a year makes!

 

 

 

 

 

Walker Alan

The Lord blessed us with another sweet baby boy on June 21st!  We were so excited when Dr. Collins told us it was another boy! We don't find out the gender before I deliver and I couldn't imagine doing it any other way. That is the best surprise in the world!! :)

 

Love at first sight!

 

At RMC, they place the baby directly on your chest so you can have skin to skin for an hour! I actually had him on my chest for over 2 hours before the nurse took him to clean him up and weigh him!

 

Walker weighed 8lb. 8oz. and was 19 inches long! What a BIG boy!!! :)

 

The big brother and sister holding their sweet brother. Both Owen and Grace Ann love their little brother and are big helpers! They both want to hold him and "pet" him all the time!

 

 My mom and nana were in town to celebrate Owens birthday the day before I went into labor, so they were available to watch Owen and Grace Ann while we were in the hospital. The timing was perfect! I was so afraid I was going to have this baby on Owen's birthday!

 

Sweet Walker all dressed up and ready to go home!

Owen's 4th Birthday

We celebrated Owen's birthday at Noccalula Falls this year! It was the best place for an outdoor birthday part and the weather was absolutely perfect. Justin actually had several birthdays at the falls when he was growing up. :)

 

Justin is off for the summer, so he had some fun making Owen's Lightening McQueen birthday cake!

 

Natalie and her family moved to Anniston just the night before Owen's party, so we picked her up and brought her with us to his party while her mommy and daddy unpacked. :) SOOOO excited to have this sweet family so close to us!

 

A rare picture of me and Justin with no kiddos!

Hello Alabama!

Since my last blog post we have moved back to Alabama for Justin to complete his rotations, survived the countless hours of watching Justin study for the boards, celebrated him PASSING the boards, celebrated Owen's 4th birthday, and welcomed a sweet baby boy to our family! Needless to say, we have been super busy the last two months. We are enjoying living in Anniston and being so much closer to friends and family (and Target and Hobby Lobby, and Chick-fil-A, and Old Navy, and...).
