Lily Belle Nelson

Zach and I are thrilled to announce that we are the proud parents of a little GoldenDoodle, named Lily Belle. She is absolutely darling...I have never been a 'dog person.' The only dog I've ever loved is Gwynnie, Megan's hand-me-down dog...however, Gwynnie is old and is more of an inside doggie.

From the beginning of our relationship Zach has told me over and over again how much he wants a doggie of his own...but I totally resisted! Finally, after another argument (practically the only thing we've ever fought about) after he went to sleep I began researching dogs that would suite us both. He really wanted a big dog and I said that if we must have a dog she must NOT shed:)...ha, ha. Turns out that finding big dogs that don't shed is a bit difficult!!! We prayed several times that God would send us the perfect dog for us and I am convinced that He has. Our little blessing...Lily Belle.

BABY GIRL TATUM!

Our First Niece!!!

McKinnon Kathyrn Tatum was born June 14, 2008 weighing in at 6 pounds, 11 ounces!  We would swear that she is the most beautiful baby we've ever seen (we're not partial of course:)!  

She is a perfect angel and we are totally smitten by her.

I am so excited to play make-up and barbies with her, while Zach wants to teach her to fish and play with worms and such.  

Needless to say, McKinnon's mom and dad, Luke and Jenn, think she's pretty awesome as well.  

We praise God for His miracle in sweet baby McKinnon!

Here we are...

One of the most precious moments of my life was when Zach looked at me the day after our wedding and said, "We are a family now."

I have lots of families, but none as profound as my new family with Zach. He is my man...my family.

All that to say, in this day in time, families need a blog. So, alas, here it is.
