Ava's first trip to Grandma's beach house and Wedding #4 for my little flower girls

We took a short visit to Grandma's beach house when Ava was a week old. We needed a change of scenery for a couple of days...the sleeplessness and being cooped up was getting to me. Then we were blessed to be a part of another sweet couples wedding. Congrats Jared and Kelsey...we love you guys and are so thankful that you love our family!

Baby photo session

A sweet friend offered to come take newborn photos of Ava. As you can see, Ava cooperated nicely and Emily did a great job! www.emilycollinsphotography.com is her website if anyone is interested. She did our family pic at the top of the blog too last fall. Enjoy!

Ava Claire Braddy

Yesterday Ava Claire was born around 4:00pm weighing 8lbs 3oz. I was induced early in the morning and only had to push through one contraction. It was a very uneventful birth, which we prayed for, and she has been great ever since. She is very hairy, like her mama, poor girl! We are thankful to the Lord for this new blessing in our lives and that He brought us through yet another crazy season of life walking with us every step! Here are a few pics to enjoy...

Emerald Isle Beach Trip

We just got back from a week at the beach in Emerald Isle! Sadly, it got cut a day short by tropical storm Andrea. But we had a great time on the beach while the weather was nice! As we were leaving the beach, we were thanking God for His beautiful creation that we got to enjoy all week. Can't wait to get back to the beach as soon as possible!

Baby #4 Shower

My sweet friends wanted to throw a small shower to celebrate the upcoming birth of baby Braddy #4. Soooo thankful for amazing friendships the Lord has blessed us with. I felt so loved and encouraged!! Thank you friends!

Happy Easter!!
