Too Early for the Birds and Bees?

Went for a visit the other day to Cory and Melissa's! Carter was in his birthday suit running around and having fun! He naturally was wanting to see the "bebe"...so Melissa broke out the camera and here's what we got! :)

Seriously though, how cute would these pictures be if they actually wound up together? :)

What we've been up to....

Well, it's been a pretty busy last couple of weeks. I went back to work...
It's kind of like a rat race getting Livy to and from each day, but we're adjusting. She's with a wonderful sitter named Kim and is always smiling at her...things are going well.
Steve's been painting the interior of a church and trying to keep busy these days...with a slight lull in work.
Livy is growing like a weed. More pics to come later this week...
She's long and chunking up a little bit...especially in her cheeks, which we love and are perfectly suited for kisses! Livy's also been cooing a lot more and manages to let out half giggles every now and then, which is adorable. We cherish every second with that girl! Oh yeah, and something ELSE she does that's adorable (sorry, I'm a huge fan)...while she eats, she loves to cup her ear with her little hand and plays with the back of her hair. It's the sweetest thing... :)

Happy Baby Girl :)

This is our baby girl in a nutshell! Our good friend Ash took this picture while visiting TN a few weeks ago. Livy is happy, sweet and most of the time..content! She's been cooing and grasping things lately. We can't believe how fast time is going... :(

Loving Livy...

Well we are officially enthralled in parenthood! And we love it! Livy is so precious...has the sweetest spirit and often gets the hiccups--which ticks her and we understand. :) We are having some difficulty getting pics up, so please bear with us...promise to post some soon. A special thanks to everyone who cooked us meals and brought us goodies--we love you all! :)

More pics from the big day...

She's here!!!

Introducing our precious baby girl... Livy Bryn Powell

Mother's Day was especially special this year...we went into labor! Everything went off without a hitch and Livy made her debut at 10:14am on Monday, May 11th. From the first moment we saw her, we were in love. She had a gorgeous head of brown hair and the sweetest little cry. She weighed in at 7 lbs and 2 oz. Without a doubt, her birth was one of the most special days of our lives....so, here's to many more years to come with our precious Livy Bryn. :)

SURPRISE shower! :)

So I work with some awesome people! THIS we know...and I'm so thankful for...however, today they blew me away! Started off as a very ordinary morning filled with answering the phones and such and then I had a meeting with my boss about my impending maternity leave. Well anyways, the meeting was wrapping up and she asked me if I could make a pot of coffee for her in the large conference room, since she "didn't know how to work the thing". So...walked into the conference room and BOOM...there they were, about 20 ladies from the office and my mom. :) Took me a second to realize what was going on and then it was like "oooooh" lol...a little clueless these days. :) Anyways, it was decorated in a tea-party theme...with adorable cupcakes and cookies and delicious chicken salad sandwiches with pasta salad. mm! They even bought me some TED DREW'S...which as you well know by now, I have been LOVING these days! Everything was so well thought out and they pretty much covered the odds and ends of things we still needed to purchase --binks, burp clothes, a few more diapers, a photo album and a front carrier for the baby-daddy to use :) and they even threw in a GC to Babies r Us. What a blessing! Today was so much fun and I'm so thankful to have such caring people in my life!
