sunday school  

Posted by Aaron and Lisa

This is the book Aaron is teaching on Sunday mornings to the high school students. When we were at State, we both went to hear D.A. Carson speak about the Intolerance of Tolerance and I remember his discourse being way over my head. But the book is easier to read and is very solid. It's about the urgent need of the church...prayer. Aaron just started but the students seem to be interested. Thanks for your prayers for this!

weekend with baby girl  

Posted by Aaron and Lisa

On Saturday after his run, Aaron took us for a walk. It was a little bumpy, but Vivian slept the whole way...Then he helped us put Vivian's name on the wall over her crib. Maybe it will help her to learn to spell her 3-syllable name sooner!The best part about the weekend was the visit from Great Granddaddy and Great Grandma Carolyn. They came from Pinehurst on Sunday and we ate lunch after church (yes, Vivian and I went to church. We couldn't miss Aaron teaching...and we really anticipated the worship!) It was nice to meet you!


For lunch we went to The Homeplace. Mom, Dad, Joey, and Sierra also met us there. Uncle Joey gave Vivian these sweet gifts :)

Check out this cool gift from Carissa's grandma, who brought it all the way from West Virginia:

30 Years  

Posted by Aaron and Lisa

Mom and dad have been married for 30 years! June 24, 1978 was the memorable day. Below are some fun keepsakes. This is your tribute, mom and dad. We are so impressed by your lifelong commitment to each other and the example you provide for us of love.This is the engagement announcement in the newspaper in Wilson. And the wedding invitation! Very classic.What a stud, dad! And mom was a gorgeous bride. Actually, dad's middle name is just Stephen. Oh well... no one looks at the names because the picture of mom is so striking. :)
Hope you've had a fun anniversary. We love you and are very proud.
Love,
Joey, Sierra, Aaron, Lisa, Stephen, and Michael

first doctor visit  

Posted by Aaron and Lisa

This morning Vivian had her first check-up with Dr. Beazley, the pediatrician. It went so well. Aaron and I were very impressed with Lewis-Gale...they had free valet parking, a woman showed us how to get to Pediatrics, we had no wait time at all, and Dr. Beazley was helpful but to the point, which is Aaron's style :).
Vivian was an angel...she was wide-eyed the entire time and didn't make a fuss at all when he was checking her out.
She is very healthy. She has lost some weight (weighed in at 6 lbs, 13 oz), so we're working on that.
Praise God!
The fun thing was that Dr. Beazley was my pediatrician. He remembered our family.

grandparents in town!  

Posted by Aaron and Lisa

Yesterday almost as soon as we got home with Vivian, Aaron's parents and Brooke arrived for their first meeting with her. They spent yesterday getting to know her more and encouraging us, and this morning they were able to go to church with Aaron to hear about taking your children to Calvary...how appropriate! The proud grandparents and Aunt Brooke. We were finally able to talk to Ben about our news on the phone last night (he's in Iraq).Everyone got a chance to hold herCarissa stopped by with lunch for everyone. It was perfect...and the banana pudding that Debbie made was a treatDad also stopped by to see his granddaughter And Joey and Sierra, too! Carter is with them...he is their nephew
The tired parents...we didn't get much sleep last night! We feel better now after some naps, though.

coming home with Vivian  

Posted by Aaron and Lisa

Let's get out of this hospital room! They've been good to us here, but we're ready to bring our new little one home.
Fresh air!Aaron and the nursing assistant had some trouble figuring out the car seat. Maybe we should have practiced with this a couple weeks ago! But she's all strapped in...looks uncomfortable, though, doesn't it? We love the old man hair-do God has given her :)
It's a girl!
Welcome home, Vivian!

The good wife  

Posted by Aaron and Lisa


My wife has given me a daughter. Although Vivian is truly a beautiful miracle, my wife is still the love of my life. Through this birth, she has given me another reason to cherish her, to adore her, to love her... If you want to measure the worth of a woman, you can use my wife as the upper standard.
