On Valentine's day, Grady turned one month old! It's hard for me to believe that he has
been here for a whole month, and at the same time, it feels like he has been a part of our family for so much longer than that! We feel so blessed to have him in our lives!
Last weekend we celebrated Sam's baptism! It was such a nice weekend, getting to spend time with my family. It was fun to take a picture of all of the boys together - they are going to have so much fun growing up and making all sorts of trouble together!! The picture of Landen with the two little babies, makes me laugh every time I look at it!!
One of the biggest regrets I had with Gavin was that we never got newborn photos taken. The first professional photos we had taken were at 3 months - and they change so much those first months! I'm really happy with how our pictures of Grady turned out!
Grady Brandon made his grand, and much anticipated entrance into our family on Saturday, January 14 at 6:41 PM. He weighed 6 lbs 12 oz and was 19.5 in long! Gavin is so thrilled that his little brother is here and has been more patient and understanding this last week and a half than I could have ever dreamed of! He is loving his role of big brother and is immensly in love with Grady! We are loving all of the visitors we have had and could not feel more blessed. We cant wait to watch Grady grow and discover this great big beautiful world!
On December 23rd, the Strey family welcomed a new little miracle into our lives! We are so thrilled that Samuel Eric is here and happy and healthy! Owen is going to make such a great big brother, and Gavin is absolutly in love with his new cousin. Right after seeing him for the first time, he told me that we had to text Laurie and tell her that "if they every go anywhere, where there are no babies allowed, that we would love to babsit Sam!" We cannot wait to watch him learn and grow and help him to discover this great big world! Love you Sammy - you are so perfect!
We celebrated a little family christmas, the weekend before Christmas. I was feeling pretty good, but we were not going to go anywhere, so we had a nice dinner together and opened gifts. As you can tell, Gav was a little excited to open his Wii and his new lego set!
This blog is intended to update you on the daily happenings of our lives. We hope that you enjoy watching Gavin grow and learn new things; I will try to keep it updated and current! We hope you enjoy!
In our home, love, laughter, family and friends are always welcome!
