2003 - Proud Aunt Again

Fun vacation memories from Myrtle Beach - cold pool water, hot sun, aquarium, doughnuts.

 

Whenever Karen came to visit, she brought Bryce clothes, toys, or books.  She bought him and ECU Little Pirate t-shirt.  She had a t-shirt made with "Big Brother" when we found out we were expecting another baby.  Karen was able to go with me to an ultrasound appointment.  After picking Bryce up from Mama Lou's and Papa G's, we went strawberry picking with mama.  Bryce ate more strawberries than he picked.

 

Since Aubree was a scheduled C-section, life wasn't so crazy when she was born.  Newman and I had to be at the hospital very early, so Karen spent the night with us.  Then, she and Bryce came to the hospital a little later.  We were all very blessed when our red haired, blue eyed Aubree Dawn entered the world screaming.  Aunt Karen bought her coming home outfit, too.

 “The land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali,

    the way of the sea, beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles—

¹⁶ the people dwelling in darkness

    have seen a great light,

and for those dwelling in the region and shadow of death,

    on them a light has dawned.”

¹⁷ From that time Jesus began to preach, saying, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.”

Mat. 4:15-17
