Missing Auntie Kim...

Will sure has been missing his Auntie Kim since she left on Wednesday! She is like a life size toy for him and we miss her being here to play! We are running out of things to do all day while Will is out of school. I think Will and I both are looking forward to Thursday when he goes back!

Will's School Christmas Party!

I know I am little late posting about the Christmas party at Will's schoool, but we have been very busy! Here are a few pictures of the decorations and food.

Happy Anniversary, Mom and Dad!

Wishing my wonderful parents a very Happy Anniversary! Hoping you enjoy this day and many, many more to come!! Thank you for being such great parents and teaching me what it means to love unconditionally! Also, thank you for loving my son as much as I do. Will thinks you both are wonderful and is making so many treasured memories with you. You two are the best and I love you to pieces!

Christmas Fun!

We had such a wonderful Christmas and Will really enjoyed it this year. Will's fun started on Monday when Kim came in town for Christmas! Christmas Eve after church and stopping by my parents friends house, we came home and put out the food for Santa's Reindeer. Nina read to Will before bed and then it was off to sleep so Santa could come. Christmas morning was so much fun watching Will see all his wonderful presents! As you can see, he got way more than he should have!

Nina, Pop Pop, Lori, Kim, Granny and Grandmama came over to eat lunch with us and open even more presents. Will napped for a little while and then had a great visit with everyone! We are so glad Granny and Grandmama could join us this year and we loved spending time with them.

After lunch, it was off to Chris and Ariail's to celebrate with them. Gamma, Gampa, Kendall and Emily were there also and we opened yet another round of presents! Will even got to take a bubble bath and watch movies with Durham! After dinner and visiting with them, it was home for bed. We were all exhausted and enjoyed some much needed sleep. Will had so much fun with Durham, Gamma, Gampa, Chris, Ariail, KK and Emily! We don't get to see KK and Emily as much as we would like, so it was really good to see them.

Ho Ho Ho!

We hope Santa was as good to everyone as he was to Will and our family! This as been such an exciting Christmas this year will Will!! We hope everyone has a wonderful day full of lots of family!

Also, a big Happy Birthday to Kiki and Kari!! Wishing you a wonderful day and hoping all your dreams come true! We love you!

Merry Christmas!

I can't believe it is Christmas Eve!! We hope everyone has a wonderful day today and tomorrow! Hope Santa is good to everyone!!

Lots of Cake!

Will had a big day yesterday with two birthday parties! We had Lily Laffin's 3rd Birthday party first at Leapin' Lizards where Will had a blast playing with some friends he has not seen in a while. Then we had Sally Marzagao's 1st Birthday party where he played with all the babies and cousin Durham! By the end of the day, Will had eaten 3 pieces of cake and two cups of ice cream. I was a little afraid he might not settle down last night, but he ended up going to sleep at 6:30. He was so tired from such a fun day! I was a bad mommy and forgot my camera for Lily's party, but remembered it for Sally's.

Lights at the Zoo

We met up with some friends from our neighborhood and headed to the zoo tonight. The lights were beautiful and we had so much fun! Will had a blast running around with his friend, David, and roasting marshmellows!

New Friends!

I took Will up to the hospital to meet Baby William today and we had so much fun. William is so adorable and Caroline looks great!

Got the Stats!

William is so adorable and Caroline and Walks are doing great! He weighed in at 7lbs. 2oz and 19inches long. I can't tell who he looks like yet, but he is precious!

It's A Boy!!

William Arthur Milliken was born around 6:oopm!! I don't have all the stats yet, but everyone is doing great!! When I talked to Arthur he was so giddy and couldn't wait to see Caroline!! We are so excited and can't wait to meet baby William!!

Caroline Update...

She is about to go in for a c-section, so I will update as soon as I know something!! I am about to go crazy to find out what this baby is!! We are praying for a very safe delivery for mommy and baby!!

Anxiously Awaiting...

the birth of Baby Milliken!! Caroline is hanging in there just waiting for that sweet baby!! I talked to her not too long ago, and not much has changed. She is having steady contractions, but she hasn't gotten the epidural yet. As most of us know, the birthing process can be a very long one! Hopefully we will get some more news soon!! We all can't wait to see if it is a boy or a girl and what we get to call him/her!!!

Tribute to Lori!

Nina and I took Will to see my little sister Lori's show yesterday at Workshop. The show was not the best, but, Lori sang absolutely beautifully! Will loves to hear Lori sing, and goes into a trance everytime he hears her voice. Her voice is wonderful and literally sent chills over my body. The whole stage should have been hers alone! I have known Lori could sing and heard her on many occasions, but for some reason yesterday blew me away. Maybe it is because my baby sister is going off to college in New York in the fall and I am just now coming to that realization. Whatever it is, I am just so proud of her and love her so much!! I can't wait to visit her next fall in NYC!!

Mommy and Will!

Who needs the lights at the zoo.....

when you have the lights at the farm! Pop Pop, aka Clark W. Griswald, is a Christmas light enthusiast! He takes much pride in decorating the farm with as many lights and blow up decorations as he can. For the past few weekends, Pop Pop has gone out to the farm on a mission! Nina and I took Will out there last night to see the display and were very impressed! We are so glad Pop Pop has the farm to decorate so he won't do this to my parents house in Columbia!! Great job, Pop Pop, we love it! The pictures really don't do it justice!

Fun Visit!

We had a wonderful visit from Jennifer, Patrick and baby Hank on Thursday! It was so good to see them and let Will and Patrick play for a while. I got to meet baby Hank for the first time and get lots of baby therapy!! He is just adorable and Jennifer looks great! Patrick is a wonderful big brother and I know they are enjoying Hank! Thanks for coming over and playing!!

Happy Birthday, Uncle Kendall!

We love you lots and hope you have a wonderful day!! Lots of hugs to you and Emily!
