Thanksgiving

Jeff and I have so much to be thankful for this year. We love our baby girl so much sometimes it hurts. God has truly blessed us more than I could ever imagine. I don't know what we ever did without her. We were not a complete family without her.

So enough of my proud mommy gushing! We had a wonderful Thanksgiving in Tupelo. It was very nice to not have to travel and get to stay home. Sam, Sissy, Granny Katie and Carrie spent the holiday with us. Sissy came up early and helped with the cooking- she made a wonderful turkey!! And then Morgan got to meet her Great Granny Katie! Morgan loved her! She would just sit there happy as can be just watching her. But I think I was most thankful for Carrie staying with us. Morgan really needed her Aunt Carrie!

The Worley's

Belinda and Emma Kate came to stay with us! This was the first time for them to meet Morgan. Emma Kate has been so excited to see her for awhile now and we had so much fun! Emma Kate would come up to her all the time and just give her kisses. But when her mom would hold Morgan, she would suddenly develop a cough. I think she was jealous a little bit! They could only stay a night, but I was so thankful they traveled all that way to stay with us.

We love her!

Sweet Baby Morgan

Lord only knows what she was telling her!

RoRo's Birthday

Morgan and I went to Murray to surprise RoRo for her birthday. She was so excited that she cried when we walked in the door! I totally won this year for best gift ever! We drove up that morning, had lunch at Dumplin's (one of my Murray favorites) and drove back to Tupelo that night. Morgan was a champ in the car. This was our longest time in the car and she did great.

While there we got to see some of our Murray "family" that we love. Danielle was the first one to see us! She joined us at lunch and spend some time together. Then Dad took us to his office so he could show her off. Once we got back home, Madison and Susan came over to visit. What a busy day! It was a long day but it was totally worth it!

State vs Bama

What a weekend! Kathryn flew in from North Carolina to spend the weekend with us and we had such fun! I was so very thankful that she came all that way to see us. She's only been gone a few days and I miss her already! And it was made even better when I got to see her mom and sissy. Thank you Sara Ann for serving as our Airpot Shuttle!

Jeff and Hollis celebrated their 30th birthdays just days before the game. That Saturday we had a tailgate/birthday party at Michelle & Garett's home in Starkville. What great friends we have! Everyone took care of the food, Lauren made a wonderful birthday cake and all I had to do was show up with Morgan! We had such a great time visiting with everyone. It was Morgan's first road trip and she did great! All she did was sleep- which is a hard thing to do around our crowd because we tend to get a little loud. When everyone left for the game, Morgan and I headed home to watch it on tv.

The Birthday Boys!

Yummy birthday cake

What a group!

Watch out Paige, Freddie looks very comfortable!

Sleeping

Morgan has been good at sleeping. We are very thankful to have such a restful baby! And she's so darn cute when she sleeps! And she really likes sleeping with her Daddy and her Aunt Carrie (notice they are both asleep too!).

Josie

Josie does not know what to think of Morgan. Most of the time, she just ignores her. But sometimes her curiosity gets the better of her. When she starts to get close, Morgan will move and Josie will run away! It's really funny watching her! At first, Josie thought all the new toys were just for her, but now she sees she has some competition!

Happy Halloween

Morgan's first Halloween was great! Belinda sent Morgan her super cute Halloween outfit. Everyone loved her tutu and hat! Thanks to Belinda for our first Halloween book that Aunt Carrie read to her. RoRo and Grandma were there to help us pass out candy to all our trick-or-treaters!

Coming Home!

We got home from the hospital Friday afternoon. RoRo and Grandma were there to greet us. They stayed a few days to help us get settled. How thankful we were! Check out the BEAUTIFUL new dress RoRo made for Morgan to wear on her first day home. We love it so much!

Hospital Visitors

We were so blessed to have many loved ones join us in the hospital during this wonderful time. These are just a few I remembered to get a picture of! We had many more who came to share in our joy. I can't begin to thank everyone for their love and kindness. We felt so loved.
