More of the 4th

This is Ellison's 1st life jacket. As you can see,

it is still a little big but not for long.
It's just too cute!

Mommy, Mama, and Ellison enjoying the boat

ride. I think Mommy and Ellison are a little tired.

4th of July

Grace Ann and Herschel on the boat. This was

Herschel's 1st boat ride. He did really good, but

he isn't in to swimming yet.

This was also Ellison's 1st boat ride also. It was

so cute watching him take it all in.

Herschel modeling his brand new life jacket.

Aunt Dana was trying to feed Ellison when

Herschel decided he needed a sip too.

Ellison is such a big boy now. He is already

trying to hold the bottle...funny.

Random Photos around the house!

What a sweet little hand!


Grandmommer loves her Ellison!

Every now and then we can catch these cute

smiles on camera. He doesn't like to perform

for the camera so it is a rare occasion.

Uncle Chad finally gets to hold Ellison

when he is not crying.

Summer Days and Father's Day

Ellison is all smiles now!
Check out that belly! We had to put this outfit
in the too small pile.

The Vickery's - only one of us looks fully rested.

Can you guess who it is?

that he went to sleep during service.

We had a great time when Crystal, Denise, Amber, Hope, Lane,

& Wyatt came last week. Thanks for the wonderful meal girls!

Time is flying by!

Ellison is one month old as of June 7th. We have had a busy week visiting family and friends. Last weekend, we had a cookout at my mom and dad's house with the Pearson clan. It was Ellison's first time to meet several of his cousins and great aunts and uncles. Of course Grandma Lila was there to spoil Ellison a little bit. On Sunday, we visited some of the Vickery clan at Tommy and Gail's 5oth Anniversary party. We had a great time visiting with everyone.

On Monday, we went back to the pediatrician for our one month well visit and also for the 2nd Hepatitis B vaccine. Ellison now weighs 12 lbs. He didn't love the shot but he didn't cry very long. Everything checked out fine with pediatrician and we will go back in one month.

Please continue to pray for Ellison to sleep and eat well at night. The Lord has helped us out with the colostomy issues we were having. We are now only changing it every 2 days instead of 2-3 times a day. Praise the Lord! Pray for us to have renewed strength everyday! We love our sweet boy and thank the Lord for him!

Have a great week and take care!
