6 years of marriage!

Tomorrow is our 6 year wedding anniversary! It seems like just yesterday I was sitting in the parlor of Conyers First United Methodist Church talking to my bridesmaids and playing with our nephew Nehemiah, waiting to walk down the aisle towards the love of my life and my best friend.

In my mind the ceremony is a blur of happiness. I remember when Dan said, "I now pronounce you man and wife." I was so excited that George and I were now joined together forever.

Several years have passed and we have shared so many wonderful memories together and now we are raising our wonderful baby boy together. I can't wait for the years to come. I look forward to more memories together and with our growing family as the years pass!

Mother's Day and Baptism

Myers was baptized today at Mt Zion UMC. He wore the McCown family gown which was made in 1904 for George Myers McCown Jr. He did wondefully during the service...not a single cry. After the service we had lunch at our house. It was so nice to have everyone over for Mother's Day.

Myers also had his 4 month check-up last week. He now weighs 13lbs 1oz and is 22 1/2 inches long. He is growing!

Why?

There are times in my life when things happen and I feel that I need to be in church. I know a church is the people, not the building, but to me there is something soothing about being in a quiet sanctuary or prayer chapel and calling out to God.

Today is one of those days.

My heart is broken, my heart cries out, and I don't understand. God grant everyone involved peace, and surround my friends in Your love.

Poor little Myers

Poor Myers...he is sick, and it is so hard watching him cough and sneeze and really not be able to do anything about it. It all started on Saturday when he woke up with a fever. We took him to the doctor since this was our first experience with any real illness (about two months ago he was coughing and sneezing, but no fever). The doctor said it was a cold and to give him Infant Tylenol when needed, prop up the mattress in his crib to help the drainage, and to get a humidifier. Then this morning he woke up with cruddy eyes. I caught pink eye from one of the kids in my class and although I tried my hardest to wash my hands a lot and not touch my eyes, Myers got it anyway. Off we went again to the doctor, and when they checked him out they realized that he also has an ear infection in both ears! Poor little guy. But despite it all, he is such a trooper, so sweet and good natured even though he doesn't feel good.

I knew he would get sick once I went back to work. He gets the double whammy because he gets the germs from his class and my class! I just keep thinking about how he will never get sick when he gets to elementary school because he will have great immunities built up.

Easter Sunday

We went to the early service which Myers sat through very quietly. He loves to hear hymns, so he loves church!

After church we went to the McCown's house for lunch. We had to leave early since Monday was Kristin's first day back to work.

Mom and Dad gave Myers sunglasses, a book about animals, a beach hat, and a t-shirt with a surfung monkey on it for Easter. We were able to spend Palm Sunday with them in Conyers.

St. Patrick's Day Parade

We decorated Myers stroller for the parade.

Myers was a very happy baby!

My little leprechaun named Myers.

Myers and I went to Conyers to march in the St. Patrick's Day parade. It is much bigger now than it was when I was little. Honey made a sign for Myers's stroller, and I decorated the stroller with shamrocks, leprechauns, and crepe paper. We marched with lots of people from Conyers First United Methodist Church, and we saw many people that I knew in high school. it was a fun day, and Myers was a big hit!

Myers smiling because Honey and G-daddy were babysitting.
