William Arthur Milliken


A big congratulations to Walks and Caroline Milliken on the birth of their son William Arthur Milliken yesterday. He was 7lbs 2oz and 19 inches long. He looks precious. Mommy, Daddy, and Baby are doing great. Jackson can't wait to meet his new friend!

Happy Belated Birthday Big Daddy!


Happy belated Birthday to Big Daddy. We went out to Blythwood last night to celebrate with hotdogs and brats. We had a great time. Jackson loves being around all of his cousins. We call them the "loud people"! We love our stand up toys that Leslie brought over - thanks Lolly. He is getting to be such a ham.

Da Da - DaDaDaDa





I know it has been a while since I last posted - we have been busy! Jackson loves the word Da Da. I can not tell you how many times I hear it a day. Drew calls sometimes just to listen. He is still low boy crawling on his belly - but he gets around pretty well. The teeth are for sure present at this time and razor sharp. We go for our 9 month well check up on the 21st. I can not believe that my little baby is going to be 9 months old. We have been visiting Morgan on a daily basis and she is doing great. Her last bone marrow test showed a zero! We were so excited. Here are a few pictures from the Carolina/Clemson game at our house. As usual Jackson and Addie like to play and little Tanner slept in the bouncy. The other pictures are of when I got Jackson up from his nap today. All I heard was a very long song about Da Da when he woke up - too sweet.

Happy Thanksgiving - a little late!





We hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving. We went to my sister Allison's and had Thanksgiving with Mom, Alli, Paul, Patrick, Morgan and Michael. It was very yummy. Jackson was taking his afternoon nap while we were eating which happened to work out perfectly. Morgan fed him his lunch and he loved it. I must say it was a little messier then he is used to. There is so much to be thankful for this year. Morgan is doing great and her little personality is starting to perk right back up. Her labs are looking great, so good in fact she can go out in public to a movie if she wanted to!

A lot has been going on with Jackson. Over the past week or so we have gotten two teeth and started to crawl on his belly to wherever he wants to go. Also Leslie brought him over Will's old Jeep Walker and he loves it. He hasn't quite figured out how to go forward yet, but he seems pleased with going in reverse. I guess it is easier to push then pull. He loves to suck on frozen fruit that I put in these little mesh popsicle looking things - kind of messy though. He is really proud of himself when he scoots to the toy he has in his sights. He is now offically growing up way too fast. I am lucky that I have baby Tanner to hold for my little baby fix. Here are a few pictures of our little man!

Very Cold!


Drew,Jackson, and I participated in the Shandon Turkey Trot walk/run this morning to benefit St. Judes Hospital. Drew ran the 5.2 miles and Jackson and I walked the 2.2 miles. We had a great time but it was a little chilly. Jackson was all bundled up and pretty much could not move. I felt like an abusive mother but the only skin that was showing was his little face and he basically "papped" the whole time and did not make a peep! Way to go Daddy on finishing the 5.2 miles in 40 minutes.
Also Happy 30th Birthday Alli Grich! We can't wait to celebrate with you!

We got all bundled up for our stroller ride yesterday and Jackson was not really sure. I thought he looked precious. His jacket is still a little big but it works because it keeps his little wet hands warm.

Thank You!


Thank You so much for all of your phone calls and prayers. Morgan came home from the hospital of Saturday and is doing good. She heads back to the clinic tomorrow for more treatments so keep the prayers coming! We try to get over there once a day for what we call "Baby Therapy". She really perks up when Jackson comes to visit. We also want to wish Granny a belated Happy Birthday - this past week has really thrown us off - Sorry! I think a combination of the time change and teeth have gotten us a little off schedule but we are working to get back on. We will keep you posted on Morgan!
