Mary Elise Gregg

Early this morning I got a text saying I was an aunt. I know it’s very weird. I didn’t think I was old enough to be an aunt. No, Matt didn’t have a baby. My brother and sister-in-law welcomed a beautiful baby girl this morning at 6:36 am east coast time (so 5:36 for us here in Texas). Her name is Mary Elise Gregg. She is 7lb and 13 oz. Everyone is doing great and are very happy. I know the grandparents are very excited! I haven’t seen photos yet, but I hear she is beautiful. As soon as I get photos I will put them up so everyone can see.

1. I am really enjoying netflix right now. Though at first I didn’t think it would be worth it, we really like it now. We get to see all the movies we want and don’t have to wait in line at the rental store. Very handy.
2. Rob Bell’s new book “Jesus Wants To Save Christians”. I wanted a book that would challenge me and make me think and this definitely does the trick. I am only two chapters into it and am already blown away with the things I have learned so far.
3. The other day at the airport my hands were dry and starting to crack from washing them so frequently. We stopped in the L’Occitane store and bought their shea butter hand cream. It is so good. It isn’t sticky like most lotions and my hands felt wonderful after I used it.

Here are some of the photos of all of our Christmases this year. They start out here in Midland and the end photos are on Christmas in Georgia. I could only fit so many on this page so I’m going to put more up on our flickr page.
