Andrew Jason

My brother and sister-in-law had their baby! A beautiful little boy born on January 20, weighing 7 pounds 15 ounces. Rachel didn't think her parents were going to be able to come, so she called my mom, and being the good daughter I am, we hopped in the car Sunday after church and drove to Norfolk. It was cold in Rachel's room, so Jason wore a coat and stayed bundled up.



That week was the end of the semester, so mom and I weren't missing too many actual school days and we spent the week cooking food and cleaning for the new parents. Rachel's parents did end up being able to come, so Jason got my mom and I a room on the nearby air force base so here parents could stay at the house and be close to her. Joey ended up driving up that weekend. A good time was had by all and we love our new addition!

On the way home, we stopped to eat in Winston Salem and my college roommate/maid of honor met us! It was so good to see my very good friend. Love you Katie!

New Year's

For New Year's Eve we were invited to Kim Bell's house. She and Mark would be getting married in less than 3 weeks, so, really, they were both hosting. Mark's brother, Matt, and his wife, Becca (who is Joey's sister), also came with their three kids. This was mine and Joey's first New Year's together since I had gone to a World Changers party the year before. Kim's birthday is also January 1, so it was extra special to be the first people to wish her a happy birthday.
Rachel slept most of the time.

Pouring the sparkling grape juice for the countdown.

Becca and Matt

10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3...

Happy New Year!

After Matt and Becca and the kids went home, Joey and I stayed for some late night singing on the playstation. We had a blast and hope to do it again!



Can't wait to see wait 2008 will bring! Happy New Year!
