Snow its Saturday!

Laughing at Bradley

So Perfectly Sweet

Did not like being a puff ball (i love how Bradley is like "whatever, Gavin)

Gavins baby portraits

his name, duh!

About to go exploring!

Mommy's Loves!

The snow made it to us in NC too! It unfortunately was a wintery mix coming down. Not big fluffy snowflakes like maryland got. It was still fun enough to go out in. Gavin and I just ventured out long enough for a picture. he wasnt having it because he was tired but bradley and brad went exploring in the woods and threw snowballs and all that snowy stuff. My favorite part was when Bradley came in freezing and i got to hold him and snuggle with him to get him warm again. After we had fun in the snow Brad had to dig my truck out of the driveway. We have a steep driveway and its gravel so you cant shovel it. So he was out there for an hour chopping two tire pathways into the gravel with a shovel so there would be some traction. No one else has problems but our driveway is not snow friendly. At least this is only the second time we have had to deal with an icy driveway. I think its awesome the boys are seeing snow. The people we bought our house from almost 4 years ago said that there was one blizzard (or what this town would call it) here like 14 years ago. So we have been able to play in it the past two years! oh, and i also finally finished Gavins room. It now feels like his bedroom to me instead of just a guest bedroom with a crib. I hung his name and i had to paint the mattes before hanging the pictures that Michelle Bolton took of him. If somethings uneven then thats OK- thats classic Emily and all the things i hang will inevitably be crooked :)

1 and 3, how similar can they be?

These are pictures of Bradley and Gavin. A picture each taken the first week of their lives and a picture each at 3 months old. They are a bit scrambled, i uploaded them out of order!

Bradley, week 1 (He had a jaundice tan. Our golden child)

Gavin, week 1

Maybe these pictures arent the best representation because when i look at Gavin on a daily basis he reminds me of when Bradley was a baby. Especially all their rolls, their baby belly's, their button noses and their double chins! They are so amazing! God is Good and I cant see how it could get any better than this joy. The awesome thing is that it most likely will. I cant wait to see all the plans god had has for our lives come to happen. I am surprised everyday and thankful!

just because life is beautiful.....

Nana!

Nana and Gavin

wow...it has been a month and in that month alot has happened, which im not going to tell you any of it :) I think the reason i havent posted is because i get overwhelmed when i have to play "catch up". So, im not going to! this is me breaking the ice on my own blog! the woody family is here, going strong and looking forward to what has already been a great 2010! I am just going to post what i can instead of totally avoiding this blog because i dont have time to write my thoughts or post every event. heres a few pictures of the boys along with Nana's visit to our home! we love Nana! Nana is brads grandmother and it was her first visit to us, along with her husband John. Her first time meeting Gavin and only her second time spent with Bradley so as you can tell time with her is special! I really hope to be better about this blog and i totally admire the people who just rock out on this thing!
