12 Month Pictures
At the end of July we had Nolan's 12 month pictures taken by a wonderful local photographer. We went to Davidson College and found all the beautiful spots on campus to capture this point and time in our little man's life. This first year has been truly amazing and I thank God each day that he chose me to be Nolan's mommy. I wanted to share a few of my favorite pictures with everyone.

Long Time No Blog
Has it really been almost a month since I posted on this blog???? Sorry for the absence. August has truly been a crazy, hectic month. I definitely have a lot to update everyone on, but first Nolan and I want to wish a Happy 1st Birthday to Emory and Everett!!! Welcome to the toddler club :)
We have had such a busy and exciting month of August and I promise to post some long overdue pics in my next blog. For starters, Bill started a new job on August 1st. After over 3 years at SunTrust and a lot of thought and prayer, he decided to continue his mortgage career at Chase Mortgage. I am so very proud of him and I am so grateful for all he does for our family. Our basement project is 99% complete. YAY!!!! I promise to post some before and after pics once we are at 100%. Right now the painter is doing some touch-up work and a portion of the wood floors needs to be corrected. A couple of weeks ago the boys (i.e., Bill, my dad, and Neal~ thanks guys!!) moved all the office furniture from the upstairs bonus room to the new office in the basement. Then I moved all of my speech therapy materials down there later in the week..WHEW!! Glad that is over. I didn't realize how much stuff you gather over 5 years!!! Anyway, now Nolan has his new play room upstairs and he is loving it. No more playing around the office desk :) All I have to do is find some cute animal decorations for his play room and buy one more storage unit for all of his toys. We are getting there though :) Back to the basement..the tv arrived this week and we are anxiously awaiting the new sectional we ordered. Then all I have to do is decorate :(
We have also had an extremely busy, but fun social calendar. We have had 2 family birthdays, Happy Birthday to Mamaw Kearney and Aunt Stacey, an extended family member's college graduation~ Congrats Uncle Dave, 2 baby showers for my friends, Leslie and Abby, having twins!! Yep, that's right: a set of girls and a set of boys. We can't wait to meet Ava, Isabella, Caden, and Max!! I have a feeling we will be having lots of fun playdates in the future!! A long overdue TN trip while Bill was in Tampa for job training, a new job adventure for me (more to come later), and most importantly of all.....Nolan is officially a walker!!! YAY!! Again happy, but sad for mommy!! I know I did a previous post about Nolan walking, but of course after I told everyone about his first steps, he decided to be a little lazy. He crawls at warp speed and decided that crawling was a much faster means to an end for him. Anyway, at 13 months he is official and we are so very proud of him (I promise to attempt to post a video soon). Needless to say we have been busy, but I have some very cute pics of all of our adventures that I will post very soon. Now we are looking forward to Labor Day weekend and of course the UT game on Monday~ GO VOLS!!!
