Brynn’s first week is a special memory–even now. Because my gracious in-laws gave up a week to take care of us, I was able to snuggle with our newest cuddle bug as much as I wanted. Mom and Dad Moody flew into Phoenix on Friday night, June 5th–the day we brought Brynn home. The next… Read More Nesting
Congratulations to my sister-in-law and her husband–Stephanie and Jason–on the birth of their daughter, Brooklyn Faith! This is their first child, and the first granddaughter born to the Moody clan. She arrived at 8:48am this morning, weighing 7 lbs 14 oz. Her middle name is a tribute to Mom Moody–very special. For the first time… Read More A Day of Firsts
One more month today! This baby girl has been given three baby showers. That’s pretty incredible since she’s our third child, but I’m thankful for the love of friends that’s been showered on us. My first two showers were surprises. One was given by my playgroup from the Goodyear MOMS Club. I’m glad I found… Read More It’s Raining Pink
After returning home from Portland, Stephen left on a business trip to Atlanta, Georgia for a few days. He was gone for 4 days and 3 nights, and we managed to stay alive in his absence. Go us! Of course we missed Stephen and couldn’t wait for his return, but I was surprised that I… Read More Comings and Goings
Rebekah and I checked one off our friendship bucket list–we attended a ladies’ Bible conference together, and it was worth it! A while ago I had suggested we attend a conference together, so when Rebekah saw that the True Woman conference in Indy was coming up, we bought our tickets a year in advance. The… Read More True Woman Conference 2014
Though it’s not a final goodbye, we’ll miss Grandma and her spunky stories. Stephen’s Grandma Moody passed away on a Friday morning this August. She was 87 years old. I’m thankful Silas and Cooper both had the chance to meet their great grandma. We thought it was important for Mom and Dad to have their… Read More Goodbyes
Everyone needs a Coop. Everyone needs a Cooper hug. He doesn’t give hugs readily, but when the Coopster hugs you, you get a neck squeeze that makes your day. Cooper made Aunt Rebekah’s visit to Arizona something special! He adopted her as his second mommy. Cooper never really did warm up to my family during our Christmas… Read More Cooper Love
Grandma’s a good sport. She got a lesson in “Grandma 101” (as my sister Charis put it) from Silas during her visit with us. Silas was just being his usual precocious self, but it was at Grandma’s expense! After helping Silas get cleaned up in the bathroom, Grandma put his dirty underwear in the “whites”… Read More Silas Says…
Mom, Dad and my three sisters came to visit us for two weeks. During our first week together, we visited several attractions around the Valley–some that were new for me too. One of the cool places we toured was the Musical Instrument Museum in Scottsdale. It was huge and had musical instruments from all over… Read More West Virginians in the West Valley
My family drove all the way from West Virginia again this summer to come visit us. It’s a loooooong drive across the country! Dad was with us for Father’s Day, so Silas and Cooper celebrated both Grandpa and Daddy. Love you, Dad. Thanks for being my daddy. Silas was so excited to give Stephen the… Read More Special Days, Special People
