Happy New 2014

wow wow wow - 2013 ended with incredible surprises.

Carly is engaged to Jay and surprises from Thomas and Cate.

Zane is growing and changing and changing and growing.
He seems hungrier and ready to claim the world.
He smiles immediately, loves PataCake and tries to touch, feel and put toys in his mouth.
He is almost sitting up with support.
He is a bundle of joy for everyone.




He was baptized at Union Grove on December 1 with the whole family there.

Carly and Jay are getting married on July 12, 2014 in Wilmington. Serious planning has begun. Since their engagement on December 10th we have finalized the church, reception venue, DJ, caterer and bought her dress. That must be a record - all done within 3 weeks.

They are moving to somewhere - Boone, Florence, Savannah, or somewhere near Knoxville. Great things about to happen for them!!

Thomas and Cate surprised us that they are expecting their first child around August 22, 2014.  We are so excited for them. Kind of unbelievable. They will make a formal announcement at the end of the first trimester - around beg of February.

I was holding Zane when Thomas asked if he could hold Zane because he needed the practice in about 8 months. I was like - What? - he repeated himself. I was just puzzled and thought it was another one of his jokes. But for once - no jokes. They are pregnant. CRAZY!!

So by Zane's first birthday our family almost doubles - in a year we have 2 babies and another son.

2014 is going to be a wonderful year!!!
