Blue Bear

A couple of old pictures of William and Blue Bear...

Many of you know, and some may not, that Blue Bear has been a very vital part of our family for almost the past 5 years now. He has been William's "best" friend ever since he was a baby. We don't know who gave us Blue Bear when William was born, but we are forever grateful. For several years now, Blue Bear has gone everywhere William goes. To church, to school, to bed, to Walmart, on trips, in the car... well, you see what I mean! He has been lost many times, even overnight at Lowes in Jonesboro, Arkansas and for several days at Chick-Fil-A in Birmingham, Alabama! Once we tracked him down at Chick-Fil-A, the owner was so kind to overnight him back to us and wouldn't let us pay him! Well, over the course of time, wear and tear, many surgeries, and much love, we have finally decided to let Blue Bear have a rest! So, for the first night we talked William into sleeping without his precious Blue Bear, he decided that Margaret Anne could sleep with it! I thought that was extremely sweet and giving to let his baby sister sleep with his special friend if he couldn't. Now, William has slept for a few weeks without him and we are so proud of our big boy!


Pumpkin Patch

A few pics from our Wee School field trip to the Pumpkin Patch last month...

A fun hayride for everyone!

It was a very cold day, but we all had fun finding our way through the corn maze, going on a hayride, picking cotton, sunflowers, and pumpkins! The boys especially loved jumping on bales of hay!

Margaret Anne at 3 weeks



Trying to Catch Up!

Hopefully, this will be the beginning of several posts to catch up over the past few weeks. These are a few pictures of Memaw's visit to Arkansas. The boys had a fun week with their Memaw and she enjoyed spending time with her new granddaughter!

The First 2 Weeks

Finally, here are some pictures from our first 2 weeks with Margaret Anne. She has been a blessing and a joy to all of us! Her big brothers adore her... they can't keep their hands off of her! My mom & dad came for a few days to see the baby, and then my mom stayed for another week to help us out as we adjust to a new routine!
Dressed in pink!

Introducing Margaret Anne!

Margaret Anne Presley was born 2 weeks early on Saturday, September 20th! She arrived healthy and happy at 2:29 a.m. She weighed in at 8 lb. 4 oz. and measured 20 1/2 inches long. We are all proud to have her here, especially her big brothers! We came home from the hospital on Monday and are adjusting well to life as a family of five! Thanks for your prayers for us during this pregnancy and birth!
Happy Family of Five!!!

Happy 40th Birthday Randy!!!

Happy Birthday to my wonderful husband! Today, the world says he is officially "Over the Hill!" But we all know he is still very young at heart! Last night, I gave him a surprise party at a local restaurant. The hard part was keeping him from figuring out the surprise! We made it until about 10 minutes before time to go, and circumstances led him to believe something was up! Oh well, we still had lots of fun!


Thank you to the sweet friends who helped to decorate and make cakes for the party! I couldn't have done it without you all!
You can't have an "Over the Hill" party without gag gifts!
Happy Birthday Randy! I love you!

The Baby Shower

In August, some sweet ladies and friends from church gave me a wonderful baby shower to help us prepare for the upcoming arrival of Margaret Anne. Everything was so perfect and we had a great time enjoying all the pink! Thank you to all who took part in this special day!
My parents and grandmother made the trip to Arkansas just for the baby shower. It was so fun to have them here, especially my grandmother from south Alabama!

How much fun we will have dressing her!

We are anxiously awaiting the birth of our new baby girl! She is scheduled to come by c-section on Sept. 25th... less than 2 weeks away! We covet your prayers during this time of transition and adjustment for our family.
