Dylan

Today was another great day with Janelle and Dylan...we went to the park, did some shopping, and ended up at Outback for some wonderful food! I have to brag on Dylan though....he is honestly one of the coolest kids I know. He is smart, very respectful, obedient, loves to have fun, athletic....just a great all around guy! If Eddie and I are ever blessed with a boy we hope that he will be a lot like Dylan!

We love you Dylan and we are so proud of you!!!

Visitors from NC!

Selah was so excited to see her Aunt Janelle and cousin Dylan pull into our driveway today....more spoiling! :) We had a great day hanging out with them and another one to look forward to tomorrow, and of course I had to snap a few pictures....so enjoy!

Happy Easter!

Happy Easter!! I got up this morning so excited about this day! I still have a hard time believing that God gave His only Son to die for me on a cross. The love that God had for me and the rest of this world just blows me away! I’m so glad that we serve a LIVING Savior!!! Ok…..I had to get that our before anything elseJ

Well….we left the Easter basket with the dyed eggs along with a card at Jim’s door this morning….when we got home from church it was gone, so I hope he liked it! It felt really good to be able to do something like that for one of our neighbors. Even though it’s a small thing, I believe that it makes a BIG difference. We also took pictures of Selah before leaving for church……some turned out really well and some…..well, let’s just say that she was not always the smiling baby the whole time….some pics we took should have the caption “a photo shoot gone bad” J

Church was wonderful today! Pastor Steve definitely brought it! He talked about what true love is all about….it was really good!! You could definitely feel God’s presence! And of course Selah “added” to the service with her jibbering and jabbering….maybe she’ll be a preacher one day…who knows? J

Tomorrow Eddie’s aunt and cousin are coming…we are really excited!

A great Saturday!

Today was such a great day…..Eddie, Selah, and I spent the whole day hanging out in Anderson. We went out to eat, went shopping, and ended the evening at Newspring just in time for one of their five Easter services….yes, I did say FIVE! Newspring is a church that we have attended on Sunday nights since moving to SC. It has been such an incredible blessing to us! Perry Noble is the senior pastor and we so appreciate how he is very real and transparent and brings the Word without watering it down at all! Selah loves going as well….the place where she stays during the services is called the Majestic and the volunteers who keep her and many other kids have been wonderful! Anyway last night many people accepted Christ as their personal Savior, and it was INCREDIBLE!! Wow, God is SOOOO good! I am so excited that we have the opportunity to be in a relationship with such an amazing God!

I'm posting a couple pics of Selah who has just learned how to pull up....she's so proud of herself! Mom and dad are excited for her but have to keep an extra close eye on her as she figures out gravity, because what goes up must come down! :)

Easter Eggs

Eddie and I decided tonight would be a good time to dye some eggs, so that is exactly what we did…..there were a few that came out a little bit more creative then we were planning, but overall they turned out well. We decided to put them in an Easter basket and on Easter morning we’ll leave the basket on our neighbor Jim’s porch who lives across the street. I hope he’ll like it!

Where's Selah?

These pictures were taken a couple months ago by Eddie, but they are some of our favorites......so where's Selah? I'll give you a hint....she's the cutest one in the basket! :)

Baby Teeth

Selah finally has some teeth! I don't think it was a very enjoyable experience for her in getting them, but now that she has them she has enjoyed trying them out.....on cheerios, teething rings, toys, daddy's finger.......unfortunately Eddie found out just how sharp those little teeth were the other day when he was putting some food into Selah's mouth and he didn't get his finger out in time.......a person wouldn't think that two baby teeth could hurt that bad but Eddie now begs to differ! Well...at least we know they work!! :)

A day at the park

Today Selah and I made some new friends. We spent the day with Kennedy and Hayden Peters who are two amazing kids! Selah definitely approved of them! :) Since it was such a beautiful day we all headed to the park.....we started out with a picnic which Hayden and Kennedy decided to share with the geese....of course the geese loved it although I think the kids at first were not sure whether the geese wanted to eat the food or eat them! :) Then we were off to the swings and slides....even Selah got to join in the fun once we found the baby swings. After a couple of hours we went back and watched the movie Happy Feet.....I didn't get the end of it though so someone will have to tell me how it ends...overall a cute movie. So...that was our day....great friends, the park, and some crazy geese....what more could we ask for?!

A great week-end!

This past week-end Grandma and Grandpa R came for a visit. Eddie and I were so excited to see them, but I think Selah was the most thrilled....she got TONS of spoiling....here are a few pics of her hanging out with some of her favorite people!

We have joined the world of the bloggers!

Well....it's official....we are now part of the world of the bloggers! Now our family and friends can check up on us and also watch for new pics every week of the newest member of our family, Selah Marie Smith. Eddie and I are so blessed to have the most adorable baby girl in the world....ok, so we're a little biased :) Selah is now nine months old and she is keeping her mom and dad busy running....she is into EVERYTHING! It's a great workout for us.....we'll never have to go to the gym again! :)
