oops--- I wrote this at the very beginning of Oct. and am yet to post it... so take yourself back 6 weeks, and then read it :) This post is for Miss Tina- so she has something to look at when she's supposed to be doing homework :) I am slightly traumatized that the last time I posted, we were just getting beautiful, green leaves on the trees. It's only 4 months later and already they are turning colors and falling off the trees. How I love being around family but o how I desire to live in a place where grass and leaves stick around for more than 4 months at a time. The past few months of my life have truly been a whirlwind. Damon Robert Morris arrived on July 7th at 1:47am weighing 7 pounds and measuring 20 inches. I don't think a single day goes by that I am not truly overwhelmed by God's grace and mercy in the birth of our son. What could have meant death of both he and his mom, has resulted in a healthy baby boy, healthy mom, and endless laughs and moments of joy for both Robert and me. I am continually overwhelmed by the mercy and grace the Lord gave us during that time. I only include it in my post so you may worship Him with me. June we took a trip to the cabin to celebrate father's day with my most incredible dad. July was Damon's birth and the annual chicken fest family reunion- crazy as usual. August was a month of adjusting and then school started again in Sept. At the end of Sept., it was annual girl’s weekend- need I say more than yikes?! October will mean a trip to Texas for alumni weekend! Below is a picture trail for you to follow on our lives.  recovering in the hospital- this little boy is proven a fighter from the beginning and I, well... I am beyond thankful for God's grace and mercy and protection for His children that we may live.
 Dad with his baby boy
 my two favorite men
 Andy and Robert playing football with the young boys- it's the most I think I've ever seen Andy run... or at least the most in a long time! It was pouring outside too!
 Andy (my brother)- love him more than words. He reminds me what it is to remember to remain as a child-- like here, when he was riding his son's bike around- mind you, his son is 3!
 to all aunts out there- don't laugh if your nephew does this climbing maneuver- he'll get in trouble shortly after and you'll feel guilty for not telling him to get down.
 like father...
 like son!
 Damon with grandma and grandma twin
 it was FREEZING and raining out there- but not sure Angie's blanket-head was necessary!
 take a good look- this sight only comes once a year!
 girls weekend was Hawaiian theme this year...
 and Robert went to the cabin before we arrived and left us chocolate covered strawberries- that's right, he drove 2 hours each way to leave his wife beautiful flowers and strawberries! he's a blessing... don't mind the chocolate on my face!
 yikes- enjoying Diet Cokes with umbrella straws.
Blessings and peace to you dear friends! Anna |
