A New Stroller - or is it?

One of the gifts that we received at Winston's Sip and See was a new stroller - one that will be GREAT for traveling and will last for many years. While I was reading the instructions, someone else was trying out the bag that is used to put the stroller in while traveling!

Here are the results:

Winston's Sip and See

Despite being the "guest of honor," Winston slept through most of the shower given by Tiffany McBryde and Melissa Futch.


















There was a theme of personalized items - burp cloths, bibs, and bath towel! No mistaking whose they are!

Winston was a big hit with all the young girls who were there. They all wanted a chance to hold him - and he graciously humored them!

Baptism of a Covenant Child

June 7, 2009 Carriage Lane Presbyterian Church


Family and friends gathered for Winston's baptism. We were so honored to have all four grandparents and Spencer's sister and her husband with us.

Our neighbors from Conyers, the Schimmels, who have seen us through many things! and Carrie's dear friend from Moody, Eva Pierce, joined us.

It was also a blessing to have the man who married us 14 years ago, Ray Craig, with us to celebrate Winston's baptism.

A luncheon followed the service where our other family - our church family - was able to enjoy a wonderful time of fellowship.

















It was my joy to hand-sew Winston's gown (with the advice of friend, Rena Brown). I was able to finish it the day before the baptism - even though I started it back in January! I wanted baby #4 to have something special, something that I made. Every stitch - even the hard to sew neck band - was a pleasure. I look forward to the day when I am able to see Winston's own children baptized in it.

Swimmers take your mark!!!

Spencer took Caroline, Sarah, and William to the pool. Caroline got William ready! Micheal Phelps - Watch out!

A week in a life

It's been just one day over one week since Winston graced us with his presence!


And what a week it's been.

Here are some of the notable events:

Trying on various eye-wear, compliments of both big sisters!

Hanging out with big brother. Winston was so calm and peaceful, that William joined him in a nap.

Two days and two VERY long nights spent on the "BiliBed" helping his body to break down the bilirubin in his blood. His heels got poked 5 times to draw blood to check his levels. Spence thought he looked a little like a alien baby when he was straight-jacketed into the bed! We were all very glad when we got the "all clear" on Monday!

Sarah's First Quilt For Baby Gray

Hi! This is Sarah blogging so forgive me if it is kinda weird. This picture is of me with my quilt I made with a little help from mom. It came to be when I was making a pillow front and when I finished it I said that I wanted to make a whole quilt. This is the finished product:


This next picture is of the center square which my mom embroidered for me and if you can't read it it is a Bible passage and says "Every good and perfect gift is from above. James 1:17"


This last picture is a heart I wrote on and my mom sewed on the back and says "I love you VERY MUCH Love, your sister Sarah"

And that is the quilt of Sarah Gray for Baby Gray
