GiGi's 90th Birthday!

A few weeks ago we celebrated my Grandmother's 90th birthday! It was a great day. We enjoyed getting together as a family and she enjoyed getting to see old friends that she hadn't seen in awhile. We are so thankful for the long life that my Grandmother has lived. She loves her family more than words can say and she reminds us all of that everyday. She loves every second that she gets to spend with her three children, nine grand-children and now her thirteen great-grand children. We are so blessed to have such and amazing women in our lives. My cousin Katie posted this in her blog a few weeks ago about our Grandmother Miller. I think she said it best! http://katiebethandpatmac.tumblr.com/post/498866545/april-7th-1920

March Madness....

I am not talking about basketball! Although, we have been busy keeping up with the tournament this year, this time of year is very busy for us. I wouldn't have it any other way. Expect lots of post over the next few weeks. Lots of fun and exciting things going on in Lewis household! Here is just a little bit of what we have been up to the past week.

Hudson waking up from a very long nap!! He has recently decided that he does need a nap. We are so thankful!! Last Sunday he slept for over three hours. It was great! I think the time change threw him off like it did the rest of us.

Showing his muscles!

St. Patrick's Day!!

We also enjoyed a whole week with KB and the boys! Hudson loved having his cousins over to play!

Sweet sweet boy!

I am pretty sure they love each other:) I can't wait to watch them grow and play together. We are so blessed!

Ready for Spring!

A few weeks ago we had some gorgeous weather. We took advantage of this amazing day and took Hudson to the park. He had been a few times before but this was the first time he was able to get down and run and play. I have a feeling we will be spending a lot of time here this summer. He LOVED it!

Ready to play!

Happy boy!

Hudson's new look!

A few weeks ago we went for Hudson's routine eye check-up. We go every six months to a specialist in Memphis for Hudson's current eye condition. We have known since he was six months old that he was slightly far-sided. The doctor said it may or may not be a problem in the future. Since then we had noticed that his eyes were starting to cross a little. We were expecting the doctor to do something about it this time. I was a little surprised when he recommended glasses. I will admit...I was NOT prepared for that!! He wants us to try these first and see if they can correct the crossing. Surgery is an option but he said that Hudson would be a VERY difficult surgery because of his other eye condition. So we are praying the glasses work and correct the problem without having to have the surgery. We got his glasses about a week later and he was doing great with them....until they broke! We had only had them a week! Well, we got them back yesterday and he is starting to get used to them again. Hopefully, we will go a little longer without breaking them!

Snowed in!

The weather channel got it right this time! They had been saying a winter storm was heading this way and that is what we got. Thankfully, it was mostly snow with a little sleet in between. We spent most of the day in yesterday and then headed to Nana's so Hudson could play in the snow. He liked it but he just couldn't figure out how to get around in it. He would just fall down and then just crawl around in it! We thought it was pretty cute!

All bundled up!

Where I left off....

So back to Christmas! We had a wonderful Christmas. We spent Christmas with my family in Henderson and New Years in St. Louis. We enjoyed getting to spend lots of time with family and friends.

Christmas Surprise!!

A few weeks ago we all got a nice little surprise. It was a Friday afternoon. Todd was already out of school for Christmas break. We had made dinner/movie plans with Zack, Cherith and EK and were looking forward to a fun night with them. I had talked to Zack earlier that morning to make definate plans and I could tell he was in the car. I was asking him what they were doing and he said they were about an hour or so away and they finishing up some stuff for Christmas. Then he proceeded to tell me they were on their way home from Nashville. I thought all this was strange. I thought about why they would be in Nasville and even mentioned to Todd how strange it was. Well, an hour or so later I get a text from my other brother Chad asking if we want to go to dinner later that night. Side note: My brother Chad lives in Colorado Springs, Colorado!! We had not planned on seeing him anytime soon. SO we were very excited that he had made a surprise trip to Tennessee. We enjoyed dinner that night with him and lots of family time that weekend. He enjoyed getting to see Hudson and Ella Kate and they loved spending some time with their Uncle Chad. We were very sad to see him go on Sunday but we are looking forward to him coming again in April. We told him next time he has to bring Brandy with him though:)

Uncle Chad is so much fun!!

Saying "Bye-bye"
