Matt's Band from High School

Matt has been converting all of our VHS home videos to digital lately. This video is of his band, Doxology, from high school. It was one of our first dates. They played at TCU, opening for Otis Day and the Knights.

Baby Shower

Last Saturday my sweet mom and sweet friends, Tiffany and Sarah, hosted a baby shower for me, Matt, and Jackson. Everyone was very generous and we feel very blessed. Matt came at the end of the shower and helped me open the last few gifts. Here we are about to open the high chair from my Aunt Jeannie and Aunt Lorri. Thank you ladies! We will get lots of use out of it! And thank you to everyone else for the wonderful gifts!!!Janie came in town for the weekend from Austin. She had to go back on Monday to take her last final exam. She got us this basket of fun stuff. Look at the bib on top... it says "I love my aunt". It's so cute!
My mom's house was decorated beautifully. She had lots of Christmas decorations up and then lots of blue and brown baby things to match Jackson's room. Here is the kitchen table and cake... it was so cute and yummy. It was white cake with strawberry icing filling.
Here I am with the hostesses. I'm so thankful for you girls! I'm so sad that I didn't get a picture with my mom.... next time we're together we will take one and I will post it.
Here is my mom with her friends, Elizabeth and Gretta, at the shower. I'm so glad that they came and are such good friends to my mom.
Here is Jackson's other "grandma" Nancy. We are not sure yet what Jackson will call her, but she decided against grandma. I think the top two names are Nana and Mamaw.
Here is my mom's front room... it was filled with gifts! Like I said everyone was so generous. It was really fun this week organizing everything. I am actually doing my first load of laundry for baby Jackson right now.

We had a busy week. Here I am last Sunday... 30 weeks pregnant. Jackson is getting bigger!It snowed on Wednesday morning. I was hoping for a snow day, but it just wasn't sticking on the roads. It was neat going to school and hearing some of my students' reactions though. A few of them moved from California this year and had never seen snow before. Hopefully we will get some more this year for them.



On Tuesday, Baron Bradley Windle was born. He was 9 lbs. 12 oz.! We went and visited him at home on Thursday night... Here I am holding the sweet baby.Here is Matt holding him.
Baron lives just about 10 houses down from us... I think that he and Jackson are going to be good friends. I can picture Jackson asking if he an go play at Baron's house. :)
We also got our Christmas tree this week and started decorating the house. There are a few gifts under tree.
I like it all lit up with the other lights off.
On friday my dad came in town and stayed the night with us. Saturday, we went to his graduation where he received his doctorate degree in Psychology. Congrats Dad! Matt is working on a video of the ceremony. I will post it when he is done.
