::Decking the Halls ::


Well Thanksgiving has come and gone and now its time to get ready for Christmas! To get in the Christmas mood we decided to get into our Christmas Jammies to help Mom put up the tree!
"Now where does this piece go...."

We decided that we were going to help Nana put up her tree upstairs and then we would put up our tree downstairs since we are going to do our own little Christmas with Buddy Brogan and myself before doing it with the rest of the family.


"Even Elnah was helping out! "

It turned into quite the hassle, when we were missing one of the stands on one tree, and the other that we bought lights for had to be returned, and returned again for not working when we opened the box!But it turned out great and here is the finished Product! I LOVE LOVE LOVE CHRISTMAS! Only 20 more days.....


He who has not Christmas in his heart will never find it under a tree.

::Introduction::

Although his life was unplanned Brogan has brought so much joy to ours. We found out we were pregnant May 21st, 2007, and what a shock that was. Looking back on that time now, as i look into his big blue eyes, I don't think we ever could have known what happiness he would bring with his arrival. I worked right up until my water broke at 4:40pm on January 15th. My heart was beating so fast as Buddy met me at my house (after i had to call and pull him out of an interview to let him know it was "TIME", he got the phone call he had wanted! Since I was scheduled to have an induction on the Thursday following and we both really wanted it to happen naturally. We got to the hospital between 6 and 6:30 and i was dilated to 5. After I got the epidural around 8:30 -9 I dilated to 10 within the hour, but was so numb that I could not feel my contractions to push. Poor Brogan was stuck there for another 3 hours with his head just trying to come out! We turned down the epidural, and when I could feel enough to push, it only took 1 hour and our baby boy was delivered into this world by his Daddy and Grandma Wood at 1:51 am on January 16th 2008. Grandma R and Aunt Chelsea and Aunt Brooke were also there to share that special moment and capture it with photographs and video. The rest of the family came in shortly after. What an amazing experience this has been...
