Oh Baby!

My beautiful wife couldn't resist the picture!
Here is a better one! Little Girl has found her fingers.
We love this Santa Baby shirt. Since it is small on her, we're having her wear it alot during this Christmas season.

Our little lady is such a blessing to our family. She is lots and lots of fun. We've taken her several places, including to Big Sister's Cross Country Banquet at her school last evening.

Checkout Mary Katherine checking out her Me-Me!!

We took some family pictures over at my wife's brother and sister in-law's home. It was quite a bit of fun. Thought I'd share some of the pictures with you all!

Tell me I'm not the most blessed man in the world! :)
Does anyone think Shawn enjoys having a baby?
Mommy just LOVES this little outfit.
Santa-Baby is just too cute!

Fun Thanksgiving Photos

Grandpa Hudson ("Pa-Pa") holding Mary Katherine and Macy Jane!
Mary Katherine is praising the Lord!!
If we could read her mind, she'd probably be saying "Oh No, not another picture Daddy!"
My efforts to get her & our Christmas tree in the picture.
Mary Katherine helped us decorate our home for Christmas!
Little bits has been a little cranky in the last 12 hours. I think her tummy hurts. We are watching her closely & have prayed over her.

2nd Place

*****BREAKING NEWS*****
In dreary 40 degree weather this morning, Mary Katherine's big sister got 2nd place in a 5K Run (called the Turkey Trot)!! She moved up a division in age (13-15) and did well! We are very proud of her.

What A Beautiful Baby!

It's fun having an infant around the house!
She is looking up at her Mommy!

Daddy asleep, Mommy took these last night. Both Daddy and Daughter sleep with their hands over their heads.
Allow me a moment to recommend to all of you a product. Please, please, please get an external hard drive. Especially if you take digital photos and store them on your computer. What would happen if your computer's hard drive crashed? What if you had to reformat your hard drive? In most cases, all information stored on your computer's hard drive would be lost. Could you imagine losing those wonderful pictures? That would be terrible. The solution is an external hard drive. They are available from your local computer stores, from office supply stores, from discounters, and from electronics stores. About a 100 bucks gets you more storage than you'll ever need. Also, if you go on vacation, the external hard drive can be stored in either your home safe or a safe deposit box (in case of fire or theft, you'll have your information). Ok, I'm done!

Scripture of the Day!

Can you see it?
Many prayed for this little girl!
Thank you Jesus for Mary Katherine.
Thank you Chris and Amy for the blanket.

Sunday Baby Shots!

Mommy and I just returned from church with Baby Girl! Since it was so pretty out, we decided to snap a few shots. The first one here is a keeper. We love the little bow on her head. Mary Katherine loves hearing her Mommy's voice and snuggling next to her mommy.
This next one is a fun shot where I took the camera and put it up close to Mary Katherine's face. She wasn't too thrilled (as she was just waking up and was a tad hungry!) about Daddy sticking the camera in her face.
This shot was taken last night around 10:00 pm. Mary Katherine was enjoying a good snooze, so she could be awake while her Mommy and I tried to sleep! Isn't that how it works?? Oh well, no complaints from Daddy...that is for sure.
Mary Katherine is doing well. She likes waiting until we are changing her diaper to 'let loose'! She also enjoys barfing right before we are about to walk out the door! She is trying really hard to hold up her head. She loves stretching out her arms and legs and also trying to roll from one side to the other. The other thing we've noticed recently is she loves the light and looking at the ceiling fans in our various rooms. Hopefully, I can get her to start watching ESPN SportsCenter and football!

Family Fun Photos






We had visitors today (Monday)!! Great-grandmother Hudson and Great-Uncle Terry from Lafayette stopped in for a while. As you can see, they were having a GRAND time with the kids. Mary Katherine also had a visit from Cousin Isabelle, Olivia, and Macey Jane. They are all sweet and wonderful kids.

We took Mary Katherine to the doctor today for her 'weigh-in'. She is now back up to 8 lbs and 4 oz. :)

Mommy and Big Sister are both doing well. The pictures above were taken just after church yesterday. Speaking of church, our pastor called me up to 'show her off' to the congregation. That was LOTS of fun. I'll have to check the church website and see if it's on yesterday's video.
