Meet Jack....

That is, if you haven't already. Kimily, Eefy, and all you cute kids, this is our somewhat new baby, Jachxon Rhaey Holliday. Pretty adorable I know, we finally had a baby with hair.




Just kidding,.. Jackson Ray Holliday. He was born.

The little grin on his face is starting to be seen a little more often thank goodness. Normally when he's not on the bo...... earmuffs..... ..... ........... feeder, he's not happy.
We wish we could get him to do this more often. But he if fun and cute and we love him.
And Lucy is a big stister now. She's sooooo excited and proud of that. We just need to convince her that now that she is a big stister she needs to keep her clothes on.


Anyway, much love to you all. Especially you Texans that I don't get to see at all. Bye

Little Ethan Flashback

Wow! Remember when there was only ONE cute little grandbaby? I do. I loved that little Ethan so much! A few random things I remember about him...He was a sweaty baby. I would hold him for a few minutes while he slept in my arms and when I'd lay him down we were both pretty wet. He liked movement to sooth himself. I remember putting him in his car seat at the house on 7th street and then putting the car seat on top of the dryer to get him to settle down and fall asleep. I remember the day he was born (I was late to my senior trip because of it) :) It was the most incredible, beautiful thing I'd ever witnessed. He was such a sweet baby! I was such a pround auntie. Its amazing that this little guy is now SO BIG! He is such a good kid and as far as being the oldest grandchild, he's perfect for the job!

Jonas just looked at this picture and said, "Hey mom! That's Gavin! That's my cousin Gavin!"

Remember how excited we were to watch Ethan sit at the piano, he would get this look of pure bliss when he could make that sound with just the touch of the finger. He also, of course, loved flipping the pages of the music until he found just what he wanted to "play."

Woa, Sean looks so little in this one...now I know what people meant when they called him baby faced.

OK, at this point he wasn't the only grandchild, but I couldn't resist posting these pictures, he is too funny and cute!

I love this one! He's modeling my veil, and I must say, he looks beautiful. ;o)

I'm not sure what's in his mouth, but that face is priceless.

And one of my personal favorites...

I'm not going to be responsible for ruining Christmas!!!

OK, so apparently y'all want to do a big family gift, at least according to one frustrating brother. If you guys want to do that, then let's do it. The only reason I called everyone and got your votes is because nobody wanted to talk about it and actually make a decision when you were together. Since you were all together and talked about it, it sounds like you came to a decision. I think that's great. If its what everybody (or most everybody) wants to do, then I will not be responsible for keeping the family from doing what they want. I personally don't care that much that we won't be able to use the big family gift at mom and dad's. If I remember correctly, I was the one who suggested a big family gift at mom and dad's in the first place (though I could not remember clearly, as I wasn't actually there when you talked about it the first time). A big family gift will be cool, and we'll get to use sometimes.

I'm really frustrated that I was told that everyone's "not really OK" with doing a family gift exchange. I say again I AM NOT GOING TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR RUINING CHRISTMAS! Whatever the majority of people want to do, we'll do, but in this family, trust me, we're not going to be able to please everyone. Why don't the people that really care about what we do just decide for the rest of us. I was under the impression when I talked to everyone, that pretty much everyone "would be OK" with either, apparently I was wrong. I don't care what you all decide just make a decision and don't make me feel like its my fault when someone isn't happy about it.
