Very New

As I am brand new to blogging, I have no idea what I am doing as far as designing it. I will do my best in making it look good but any pointers or tips anyone has woul be greatly appreciated!

Now, having gotten that out of the way, I guess I will start at the very beginning and play catchup. Chris and I met in Montgomery, AL at the end of 2002. We were set up on a blind date by our very good friends, Mike and Carrie Johnson. They decided we needed to meet and agreed to go with us so it wouldn't be so awkard. Well, Carrie was out of town on the night we were all supposed to go out and I sure enough wasn't going by myself! So my best friend, then Melissa Gray, now Melissa Steis came with us. We met at Mike and Carrie's house and then went to Firehouse Subs for dinner, then back to their house. When the night was over, Melissa and I left and on the way back to the dorm, she asked if I liked him. I was like "Yeah, but I don't think he liked me - he didn't ask for my number." I was kinda bummed. A few days later my phone rang and guess who it was. Yep. He "has his ways" and got my number! We got married in May of 2004 and the rest is history in the making!

Our first baby was due on our 2 year anniversary and thankfully, she waited a few days. We named her Helen after my Granny and Chris's grandmother Pam-Pam.

This is the earliest pic I have of her on this computer, just over 1 year.

Helen was a very easy baby. Her first night home from the hospital, she slept all night - midnight to 6 a.m. I was so excited! She nursed well and easily, slept well, adjusted to change very well, handled her transistions like a pro! Very sweet baby, never knew a stranger and we couldn't love her more!

When she was 6 weeks old, we moved to Valdosta. About a year and a half later, we were very excited to find out that Helen was going to be a big sister!

Aubree was born at the beginning of August of 2008. Again, earliest pic on this computer. Sorry!Here she is just over 2 years old.

Aubree was not as easy as Helen was. She didn't nurse very well right away. And throughout her first year, I would have to have a bottle for every feeding because I never knew if she would nurse or not. Sometimes she would just refuse and want the bottle. I never understood it - it was the same milk! Needless to say, she weaned herself at 10 months. She was very clingy going through a phase that drove all of us just about crazy!!! She would scream if anyone had her besides Chris or myself. She is much more shy than Helen but once you get on her turf, you will see a new side to her!

When she was about 8 months old, we were surprised to find that she was going to be a big sister - 6 months ahead of schedule!!

March 2010, we welcomed Allisyn into our family.

Here she is 8 months old. She is right smack dab in the middle of the other two. Helen has curly hair, Aubree's is straight as a board and Allisyn's is sometimes curly, sometimes not! She too slept all through the night from the very beginning ( I am very blessed, I know!) In fact, she slept so much, I would end up having to wake up up to eat in the mornings (and by morning, I mean 10:00)! Now if you know me, you know I DO NOT wake my babies up to eat. Then they get in the habit of waking up in the middle of the night to eat and I need my sleep, lol! But this girl would sleep!!! 12 hours at night!! She was truly one of those babies that "eats, sleeps and poops". The other two were not like that at all!!

I know this got pretty long but we are caught up now. Here is a current pic of my 3 girlies!!
