2 nights and counting...

We have slept through the night. He dropped that midnight feeding and is sleeping from 9pm to 5am! It has been great! Look at my sweet boys. They sleep in the same position! Oh, yea. We LOVE to co-sleep.

We caught up!

Today is a big day in the Williamson house. Our 4 week early baby finally caught up. We had to pack up all our "newborn" cloths and pull out 0-3 months. I didn't know if we would ever get here but, it seems in the past week Bubbie has just gotten so much bigger! They are still a little long but, I know before long they will be snug. Check out those "chubbing" cheeks! 

Great Week

This week was SO busy, but so much fun. We picked up big sissy Marah on thurs. It is so sweet how much her and Jackson love each other. He just wants to hear her talk and hold her hand. When she walks away his eye's just follow her. So Precious to watch. We did Bubbie's 3rd  5k today. It was so fun, In the Highlands. The FiredUp 5k with fire station 19. To fun, it was so nice outside and Bubbie just loves the stroller. He was awake the whole time just talking and smiling. That time is so sweet. Grandma CC resisted the urge to run today and walked it at my pace. I know it killed her but, it was so fun to just chat and walk. I guess in doing them Bubbie and I have decided it's more about getting out and walking then trying to keep up. Well and let's be honest, we love the t shirts. ((wink wink))

She got a ring!

What a great weekend. We hung out with Nana and Grandpa up in Dawsonville. It was really nice to relax and catch up. Jackson was such a hit with his big smiles and babbling. We are already making plans to head to the pumpkin patch. I am so excited fall is getting closer. We did our second 5k. Daddy and Nana walked it with us. But the most exciting thing that happened this weekend is Bubbie's Godmother got engaged! We love Chris and are so excited for them!!! It makes me all warm and fuzzy remembering how exciting those times are. I can't wait to start looking through Brides magazines again! Looks like a beach wedding is in the works. We can't wait.

Not Baby Related. My "Carrie" soapbox...

At what point in your life do you stop being afraid to tell the truth to people who you love? Why do we always walk on eggshells when saying the things that we know are true? Is it because we are afraid of what people think. Are we afraid we will hurt someone's feelings? Aren't we hurting them more by not just being honest. We are letting them go on thinking they have our support when in reality they are flailing and we are all just watching. Do we know they need to struggle to grow. Or are we really just afraid they will need us more if were honest?  At what point did it become ok to let things hang in the balance? If my strength and faith are in the Lord then why do I always get nervous when the time comes? How do you know you are really being helpful and not just mean?  I hope that it's not that I'm ashamed to say the things I know are true or soften them so I don't sound crazy. 

Labor Day Weekend

What a great weekend. The storm wasn't as bad as we expected! Everyone is safely on their way home. Bubbie and I jump started my "getting back in shape"  by doing a 5k in Athens monday with Aunt Sash and CC. So fun, see pic below. And college football is starting! One of our favorite times of the year because it means fall is on it's way. We are headed to the Yellow Daisy Festival tomorrow I am pretty excited about that. Roasted corn for lunch, and looking at all the arts and crafts. Bubbie can hardly stand it he's so excited! 

Gustav you suck.

It just breaks my heart to think my family may be suffering another huge loss, again! Almost three years to the day after Katrina. I can't imagine looking around my house and having to decide what to take and leave knowing I may not have the chance to come back to any of it. I know all the "things" can be replaced, but the place where the memories are made is a tough loss as well. I am just sad. Praying for everyone to get to safety and holding my breath to see what happens. Gustav you suck.
