Hudson loves the Dog

Hudson is really discovering the dog. He loves him.

The Door

We put our first door in ... these pictures are taken half way through the process. We had already cut the opening and so forth.

Christmas memories

Merry Christmas to all our family and friends.

This will be my first Christmas without my sister, Rebecca. She loved this time of year and especially enjoyed when family and friends got together on Christmas Eve for our annual party. We have decided to continue the tradition of our party and will honor her memory. It is very sad to think she will never walk through my mom's kitchen door with her family or wish us a Merry Christmas again. Last year she and her family stayed at my mom's house on Christmas Eve. We all woke up together Christmas morning as one big happy family. Those are memories I will cherish forever!!

This year she is celebrating Christmas with the birthday boy himself, Jesus Christ. When we sing Happy Birthday, Baby Jesus she will be right by his side. What an awesome sight to behold.

Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night and a blessed New Year.

Pullen Park in November

Last weekend my mother-in-law joined us for a trip to Pullen Park in Raleigh. It was our first time there and we had a great time. They have a train, carousel, and baby boats. Hudson enjoyed the play area for tikes and wanted to go on the train. We rode the train, fed ducks and walked around and enjoyed the changing leaves. It was a perfect way to spend a fall day!!

Baby Mallory and Hudson hang out!

Hudson and I went to see his new baby cousin, Mallory, today. He wasn't overlly interested in her but there were two moments where he was enamored with her. One of those moments Ginny caught on film. In this photo you can clearly see him reaching for her. He just stroked her arm before his attention was drawn back to Finding Nemo. The other was memorable in that he reached for her hand and carressed it!! He was very gentle with her. Chris has said he thinks Hudson will make a great big brother and when that day comes I know he will! I'll add more pixs of my new niece in a day or two.
