New News!

So, my mother will at least be happy when she pulls up my blog because I am going to play a little game of catch up! Yes, again! I have been super busy the past month and there is a lot to discuss! So...Enjoy the next couple of new blogs!

Also, I had hoped to blog and post pictures about Easter, but wonderful technology has stood in my way! Stay tuned!

One BIG Purchase!

Can you guess what Brent is signing? That would be the contract agreement for our new house! Yes, finally we are getting a house! We are building a house in Prosper, TX! (That is just north of Frisco!) We are thrilled! We went on Monday to make all of our decorative choices (interior and exterior) and can't wait to see how it all turns out! The projected closing date is August 28th! Woohoo!

So, calling all movers! Yes, this is you...Taylor! Haha! No, actually it is an extended offer to anyone who loves moving boxes and furniture!....Suddenly, I hear nothing but silence! Oh well! I tried! We are hoping to move Labor day weekend, but of course, it is a projected date!

Hooray for no more house hunting, and a BIG hooray for furniture shopping!

One Bundle of Joy!

Eastin Reid Moody

So, most everyone I know has heard the Moody family news....Eastin is here! All 9.6 lbs of him came into this world at 8:41pm on Thursday, April 2nd! Bless Kelcie and the epidural for making it through the 20 hour labor! There aren't words to describe the way I felt when Aiden and Conner were born, so why would this moment be any different! He is perfect! Brent and I were overjoyed to be there at the hospital when he was born and to experience Taylor and Kelcie's joy!

There were numerous family members in the waiting room when Taylor came out to announce Eastin's arrival. It was surreal to watch as my baby brother announced (through tears of joy) that his son was born! We were all so eager to go and meet the little guy, but naturally, with a 20 hour labor, there comes some much needed and deserved recovery time for the Momma, so it was about 11:00pm before Eastin and I met for the first time!

He was precious! He looked at me with those big curious eyes and perfectly round cheeks, and instantly, we were the best of friends! I enjoyed this moment, and just as I had with Aiden and Conner, I made Eastin a promise! I promised him that I would always love him, provide him chocolate, and that I would beat up his Daddy if he ever made Eastin cry! ;) I can promise that since I am still Taylor's big sister!

Here are pictures from Eastin's Birthday!

This is when we met for the first time!

Uncle B loves those cheeks!

Check out those hands! Great for throwing a curve ball!

This is Eastin admiring his Mommy!

The 1st family photo!

Over the past two weeks, Brent and I have been blessed to have spent time with Eastin! He is already changing so much! And, naturally, Eastin and I are already the best of friends! He lets me hold and kiss him whenever I want, and I always bounce him and allow him to look around when he gets fussy! It is a wonderful give and take friendship! ;)

Here are some more pics!

Eastin and Coach!

One proud Uncle B!

Look at this sweet face!

Sweet Baby Eastin,
I am overjoyed to have you in my life! You are a true testament of God's miracles and a little piece of heaven! I pray that God bless you in all you do and that you find happiness in your life! I pray that your Mommy and Daddy be filled with joy as they raise you and that God give them all the patience, strength, and knowledge needed in order to raise you by His plan! You are and will always be one of my greatest joys! I love you and will always be here to love, spoil, and kiss you!~ Aunt Ash
