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!







The new addition to the Gray Family


A mother and her chicks



Check it out!!!


Sister Caroline and Brother Winston


The "Baby-sitter" Sarah and Winston




Big Bro. and the Little Bro.


We are all exticed to have another little one in the family:)

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

A Dream in Progress



We were able to go out with Dad to the lot for lunch after church on April 19th. We had a great meal at the Grill - with our favorite waitress, Peggy, and then drove over to the lot and walked on the walking path up to the lake and back.

Here are some pictures Dad took:



























Learning how to ride a bike







"Grampy" was here for a few days and took the opportunity to teach William how to ride his bike - without training wheels, stopping and starting by himself. He can ride down our driveway, brake, go around the back of the truck, go up the hill and into the garage!






Here is one proud little boy!

100 Wishes Quilt for McBryde Family


On April 22, the Futch, McBryde and Gray families had dinner together. Melissa and Carrie were able to present the 100 Wishes Quilt to Tiffany. She was very surprised and even while looking at the scrapbook didn't think that there was an actual quilt to go with it! Melissa prepared a delicious dinner for us and the children had a great time playing together. The quilt was a great representation of how loved Hannah Shan is even now when none of us have met her.
