Noah Lee Cantrell






He is here!!  Our beautiful, precious, and HEALTY new nephew, Noah Lee Cantrell!!!  He was born at 8:40am yesterday morning , weighing almost 5.5 lbs, and the Dr's say he is just perfect... I could have told them that!   He stole my heart the moment I looked at him, and I could not get enough of him!   I found myself missing him while I ran erronds yesterday afternoon, so we went back last night for more baby loving before our trip.... how on earth am I to make it a whole week without seeing/loving on him??    I think I just might be a proud Aunt.  :)     Speaking of our trip...Savannah has been "helping" me get packed. Here are some pictures:

                    








Well... last minute things must be done. Cleaning, hair cut, and last minute packing to do!   I will miss everyone until we return!!

The Excitment is Growing!

What a busy, exciting week we are having! Ok...so honestly it has not started just yet... but the preparation has, and so has my excitement!! There are 3 bigs things "about" to happen in our lives this week.
1) Our Sister-In-Law is going to give birth to our new Nephew, Noah Lee Cantrell on Thursday! I am so excited & can't wait to hold him & love on him! Brandi is already in the hospital, her blood pressure was rising so they are observing her until Thursday when they will induce her. Oh how I pray for a healthy baby! He is only 36 weeks old right now, so I hope everything is ok with him!
2) Saturday morning we leave for Tucson, AZ to go visit with Matt's family! I have never been out West, and I am really looking forward to it! I have seen so many beautiful pictures, and I can not wait to witness some of God's amazing creations for myself! I know I will take many many pictures, and I can't wait to share them when we come home. I am super excited to do all the fun things we have planned & just spend some quality time with Matt & Savannah, and visit with his family as well!
3) So maybe I'm not as excited about this one as I am the other two, but Savannah will go on her first plane ride! She LOVES watching airplanes, and whenever she hears one, even from inside the house, she starts jumping around and yelling plane! plane! Lets just hope she is as excited about being on one as she is about looking at them! For our sake, and the other passengers! It should not be that bad.... We will be in the air 1hr, 50mins the first time, and then we have an hour delay, and then another 2hr, 10mins so I really think it will be ok. I hope! Pray for us & a safe, un-eventful trip!! :)

Peer Pressure

So we have been noticing that we seem to be the LAST people on earth to start blogging, so here we are!  We have had several people ask us about it, and so we have decided to take the plunge & give the people what they ask for. Ha!  :)    We love reading our friends' blogs, and we have learned so much about them!  It's scary to think that people will do the same with us!   

We hope you enjoy our blog!
