Wake Forest Mama Goes to...

Alabama!

We have arrived back to Sweet Home Alabama and are finally recovering from jet lag. Our last couple of weeks in London were a whirlwind with Wiley's birthday party (pictures to come), packing (in suitcases only), and saying goodbye to some really special and sweet friends. I want to share about all this and selfishly just get it down in writing so I don't forget. There are a lot of emotions going on about the move, and I expect that they will all settle down once I have settled in with my little family in our new house. So, if it takes me a little bit, please hang in there (the five of you who read this), I'm in Athens for my little sister's graduation (yay!) and then orchestrating a move into a real house for the first time. In between unpacking boxes, if I can find the way out, I'll hopefully be able to share about our last happenings in London. That last month was pretty magical.

Five Cakes

Here's a little look back at Wiley's past birthdays! I can't believe we are celebrating #5 today!

Turning 4 in London with a bouncey castle and cupcakes (and military style haircut)!

Turning 3 at Wake Forest with all of our lovely college friends.

Animal cake to celebrate birthday number 2 on Davis Field.

Our first birthday at Crowne Polo with a smash cake that ended up all over his face!


Ready to go home from the hospital wearing his Daddy's outfit.
May 1, 2006. What an amazing day and incredible blessing from Him. We are so grateful for Wiley's life and cannot wait to watch him continue to grow up.
For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future. Jeremiah 29:11

Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him and He will make your paths straight. Proverbs 3:5-6

In his heart a man plans his course, but the Lord determines his steps. Proverbs 16:9
