A Drive up the River Rd. and Dinner at the White Water Center

Although this drive is very common for Brian since he takes it every day to work, the girls and me met Brian at the White Water Center to look at the leaves changing colors and have a picnic dinner together. We loved it and took some pictures since it was so beautiful!

October 8, 2010

This was our anniversary. We have been married for 6 years! It is hard to believe! This year we went to Stoney River, where we had our rehearsal dinner. It was amazing, however, now I know why we waited for 6 years to go back! On Satuday, we got our Georgia gear on and headed for the game in Athens, GA with some friends back home in TN. We had a blast, especially since UGA actually won! Then we went to see a movie and headed home on Sunday. It was a busy weekend but nice to spend time with each other. Here are some pictures of the weekend:o)

Trinity's Birthday

We got to celebrate Trinity's birthday on September 18. She is my brother's little girl and we weren't sure if we were going to get to celebrate her 4th birthday with her. But fortunately we did and it was wonderful. We all got together at my sister's house in GA and ate cake and ice cream and opened presents. All the cousins loved playing together and it was a memorable time. Here are some pictures of the event.

Too Much Time has Passed

It has been two and half months and so much has happened and still happening. Life happens and FB and Blogging just become void. Slowly but surely we will catch up on some of the events that have occured. Let me start from where we left off. We are having a boy! YAY! I am almost 30 weeks along and doing well except for the extreme fatigue many days. I already look nine months pregnant which also goes to say I feel nine months pregnat! Good news is, the baby looks healthy and is growing just as he should. I passed my sugar test and I am so relieved about that. I am a little anemic which was no big news to me since I have been like that with my other pregnancies. Now we just need to start getting the nursery together. I have finally found bedding that I like so as soon as that is ordered, we will begin decorating:o) Brian and I have finally picked a name for the baby: Jaxon Eli McEachern. For now, until Brian sees the little bundle of joy is what he will be called. We love it!

As for the girls room, we still have a few projects to complete and then I will take new pictures of their room.

In August, we had a tragedy happen. My brother Rob, passed away on August 30th. We are still trying to sort through it all and make sense of it all. I think I will always wonder why things happened the way they did. There are days I get so wrapped up into trying to figure out why God allows such things to happen and although I know some of the answers as a christian, things still don't make sense to me. My faith is definitely being tested and there are day where it is so overwhelming, I would like to find a quiet place where noone could find me for days and just sort things out in my mind. I'm not quite sure how that could happen. For now, the few minutes I have in my car on the way to work will have to do:o) Below is Rob's obituary.

slideshow Robert Stephen Graybill, 38, born Feb. 9, 1972 went home to his Heavenly Father and beloved "mom mom and pop pop" on Aug. 30, 2010. Rob was a free spirit who loved horses, cars, music, and most especially his family and friends. In seeing Rob, you first noticed his tie-dyed t-shirts and his big heart. He had a very giving, generous way about him and always looked out for the "underdog". He is survived by his wife, Beth Graybill; children Trevor Krise, 10 and Trinity Graybill, 3; his mother, Sheryl Wiles and step-father, Jack Wiles; father, Robert S. Mahr; brothers, Phillip Graybill and Seth Wiles; sisters, Shelly Legaspi and Kristy Mceachen; and numerous nieces and nephews. A memorial service to celebrate Rob's life will be held on Saturday, September 4, 2010 at New Life Baptist Church at 1:00 PM. Family and friends are welcome. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to City of Refuge, 1300 Joseph E. Boone Blvd. Atlanta, GA 30314. Condolences to the Graybill family may be shared at www.westgeorgiacrematory.com

It's a BOY!!!

For those of you who didn't know, I am pregnant and we found out Thursday, we are going to have a little boy. Brian was the first one to recognize on the ultrasound that it was for sure a boy. And the nurse confirmed it. We were in the room for over an hour and everything looked perfect! We are just thrilled about our new addition!Ella and Ava are excited to have a little brother. It will be a new experience for us and we are ready to journey through it. If I knew how to scan pictures from the printer, I would do that but our printer for some reason won't work right. After we found out we headed to the store and everyone picked out something for the baby. Ella picked out bibs, Ava picked out some hats, Brian picked out a little blue outfit and I picked some blue onsies. It was so fun!

We are putting Ella and Ava into the same room. They are both getting new beds and we are finally decorating their wall. We are trying to get this done ASAP so that Ella feels like she has a place of her own since we are turning her room into a boys nursery. She seems excited about it now but I pray as the transition actually happens she will feel secure and not just thrown out of her space. I am super excited about the new room. Here are some of the additions we are adding:

This is a vinyl piece of wall art that will go in between their beds. Then their names will go above their bed. SO CUTE!



This is their new twin bed. I have matching bedding that I got from Target which will look adorable!

Newest Member of the Queen Family

I just wanted to introduce Dominic Nathaniel. He was born on July 26th, 2010 and weighed 7lbs 10oz.



Unfortunately I had work the next day and since he was born at 1:05 am, I couldn't make it to the birth. However, had I tried, I still would have missed it due to the very quick delivery Dominic decided to have:o)

He is adorable and his little face is so sweet, it makes you want to squeeze his little cheeks. He is one blessed little boy to have Maddox as a big brother and Jess and Kev as parents.

Family From Arizona

It has been a while, but we have had many new things happen to us. The first one is, we had Brian's brother, sister-in-law, and newest cousin, Isabel come visit us about a week ago. This was the first time we had met Isabel in person. It was very exciting and such a blessing to see the three of them. It was great to see all the cousins play so well together. We swam and spent time with the whole family. We even had a birthday party for Isabel because she turned three on July 23. She had the best time! Everyone did! She loved the cake and candles and she fits right in with the McEacherns because she absolutely loves clothes and even wants to try them on the second she gets them:o) Here are several pictures of our weekend!
