Look how much I've grown...

Better late than never I guess. Here are photos of Ann Elise at one month and two months old. She has already changed so much.

Look at how pretty I am.

Lifehouse Everything Video

Have you ever logged on to www.Godtube.com?
It is an awesome site to see. :)

I was fortunate enough to have someone email me a link to the Lifehouse "Everything" video and I am so happy they did. I am a "music" person anyway, but this video brought tears to my eyes. (Scroll down to the bottom of our blog to check it out.)

I am a true believer that sometimes we might find ourselves at rock bottom as a reminder that we need to look up, look up to our beautiful savior, Jesus Christ.

"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. I will be found by you," declares the LORD, "and will bring you back from captivity."-- Jeremiah 29:11-14

Birthday Celebrations

We have been celebrating birthdays galore lately. Corbin celebrated his 7th birthday with his buddy Hunter at the local skate center. They had such a great time.
My nephew Eli just turned 4 years old. He is such a little character.
Ann Elise turned one month old. One month already? Wow!

My mom (aka Nana) just turned...yeah like I am really going to tell you.
I can't believe how quickly time passes now. When we were kids it seemed like we would never grow up. Now that we are grown up we wonder where our childhood went.

They're thinking...hurry up we want to open our presents. Ann Elise

Her bear is as big as she is.

How cute is he? Nana admiring the view.

Introducing Ann Elise Martin

Finally Updates!
Well, as most everyone knows by now, little Miss Ann Elise Martin has made her debut. She was born March 26, 2008, at 9:31 a.m. weighing in at 7 pounds 12 ounces and was 17 3/4 inches long.
Both mom and baby came through the surgery well. I was kind of worried about Matt for a minute. Dr. Slocum made him stand up to watch as he pulled Ann Elise from my stomach and Matt didn't say a word as I asked him if it was in fact a girl and who she looked like. After what seemed like forever he finally was able to muster out that it was a girl and that she was slimy. HA! Once he sat back down he was fine.

If ever I saw your face....
