Grayon's Dedication




Grayson was dedicated on January 25th. Our church held a Friday night service where almost 30 kids were dedicated. Gray, Mommy and Daddy got to walk across the stage and light a candle for Grayson. Then the service proceeded with a song, parental prayer and commitment, brief message, and time of prayer. It was a sweet, little evening. We are thankful for Grayson's life!

Big Snow In Charlotte




On January 17th we had our first big snow! It was snowing beautifully throughout the night, big flurries and attempting to stick to the ground. Tait and Daddy got outside right away that morning, 7:15 sharp (still a little dark). They made a huge snowman (about 1.5 feet tall:) and Tait came in within minutes, soaked and cold from the rain! Unfortunately, the snowflakes had already turned into raindrops, and then it rained the rest of the day. Grayson slept in and missed the big outing. Not to worry though, lots of school canceled in the South.

New Year's Guests







Nana, Papa, Marissa, Aunt Leah, Uncle Ben and Cousin JR! Fun Allen Times: family gift exchange, games and puzzles, trip to the city--riding the Lynx train and visiting Imaginon, lots of food, project nursery, Christmas shopping/exchanges, first lunch at Chick Fil-A and lots of laughs. Happy 2008!

Christmas




A fun family morning! Christmas breakfast, stockings and gifts and a little basketball! After naps we enjoyed a delicious dinner at the Bards' house, our good Charlotte friends.
