Hello everyone! It's been a while since my last post/Sam update. I never knew being a mom would take up so much time (most of it trying to catch up on sleep because Sam is a party animal at night). Sorry to everyone who has tried calling me and repeatedly getting my voicemail- It's not personal, I promise! And I do listen to my voicemails, but by the time I'm done listening I've already forgotten who left the message. Having a baby makes your brain more stupid, just so you know.
Maw-Maw and Paw-Paw left this past Friday after being here since Nov. 5. It was pretty cool having them here at the end of my pregnancy. They got to see Sam from the very beginning. They are 2 very important people in my life. I would always pray that they'd be alive long enough to see me get married and to meet my kids. I am so glad my Heavenly Father answered those prayers!
Here is sweet Paw-Paw cooking his famous french toast. He cooked every single meal for us. He said it was his way of paying rent. Unfortunately, he is from Georgia and cooks Southern-style, meaning butter-coated, fat-loaded, and extra wonderful. They have been gone 4 days and my baby weight has already dropped 2 more pounds (it was at a stand-still while they were here).
Here's dear Maw-Maw holding Sam. She begged me every night to wake her up in the middle of the night while Sam and I were awake. She wanted nothing more than to help out. I didn't have the heart to wake my sleeping grandmother at 4 in the morning, but her offers were sweet just the same.
My dearest, best friends are in town! I am already extra happy from hanging out with Amy, and I can't wait to see my love Selena. Then next week Jess gets here! I love Christmas.
We had the Barry family Christmas party last night. Man I love that family. Anya made an amazing slide show of all the happenings of the past year. We are so blessed! I am so happy that I love my in-laws, and that my family lives so close. I am so happy Sam will grow up with so many amazing people.
And here's my absolute BFF Sam. We hang out a lot.

I can't believe how big he looks in that last picture! That means I need to see you again! It's been too long.
I hope you're coping well with all the stress/demands that mothering puts on you. You seem to be doing great.
MawMaw and PawPaw are so cute. How awesome he cooked every meal. Seriously amazing.
Hope to see you soon!
Get some sleep :)
Allison, I love you so much! You are a wonderful, unselfish mommy to our wonderful Sam. You add the perfect touch to our family with your sence of humor and love for us all. We are blessed to have you!
oh man, reading this post brought me back to "those days." I never answered me phone either and hardly ever called anyone back. I guess I'm still doing that. :)
I never get to hold Sam by the way. I want to but never get the chance. Next time I see you guys, I'm holding him!
that party was a blast!
Fun Fun! Sam is DA BOMB! :)
And yes, we would love to come over for that french toast Devin is going to make. Thanks for the invitation! :) jk jk
SORT OF.
