Jacob's First Visit to California!

On May to May we drove 12 hours to California to visit Jeremy's family and friends. For most it was the first time they met Jake. We stayed only 3 days, but amazingly Jacob did great in the car.

Church Baby Shower

Shelly Coleman and Erin Snipes hosted my church shower on February 16th. It was so much fun, the food was great. I received so many gifts and many hand made gifts like quilts, and crochet blankets.

I love my Church Family.

Jacob's Nursery

Yeah, we finally finished Jacob's nursery. It looks so great. Jeremy and I put the finishing touches this past weekend, we still have a little more left to do.

My mom and my sister helped me so much with decorating and giving me great ideas. And I can't forget about my friend Erin who gave me great tips for organizing and how to prepare for a newborn. She helped me in ways I would have never thought of!

My First Grade Class

2008-02-09T14:15:00.000-08:00

Well here they are. My students. This are the students I've been talking to many of you about- this is definately the most difficult class I've had. God has given me a challenge and on top of that being pregnant too! But I love them all, and it will be hard for them and me to leave in March. We'll see if I can make it that far!They may drive me into premature labor!!! :)

Pregnancy Progression

2007-12-22T08:29:00.000-08:00

36 weeks

27 weeks

20 weeks

Here I am pregnant at 20 weeks. We found out recently that we are having a boy. His name will be Jacob Lee Jackson. Our first ultrasound showed that he was almost a pound and he is very healthy. Jeremy and I were so amazed at how much detail we could see at the ultrasound. WOW!

I promise we will keep taking pictures of my pregnant belly. Some of you will never see me pregnant in person so this is a good way to keep you posted.

Love to all,

Jeremy and Alicia

My Sister's Wedding

2007-12-22T08:15:00.000-08:00

Lauren got married to Jeremy (yes we are both married to Jeremys) on November 24. It was a perfect wedding. The ceremony was outside (it was really cold) and the reception was inside. I even survived giving my toast to my sister, I was the maid of honor. It was a joyous day and I am so happy for them both.

All of our family from Connecticut were there (we have a big family). And since the wedding was only two days after Thanksgiving, our family was here for the holiday. It was the best Thanksgiving ever. It was probably the first Thanksgiving all of us from my dad's side to my mom's side of the familiy were together . God is good!

Old news........... We're expecting!

2007-11-04T18:14:00.000-08:00

Hey all! This is me and Jeremy's first blog! We want to start a family blog to keep our out of town family and friends updated with our lives, especially through our pregnancy! As most of you know I am pregnant and due at the end of March. We find out if our baby is a boy or a girl on November 12. We are so excited. At this point we don't care if it's a boy or girl, whatever God gives us we will be so blessed with!

We found out we were pregnant in July. Here is a picture of our announcement photo we sent out to people to announce we were expecting! In this picture Jeremy and I were on a cruise to Hawaii in June.

Love you all,

Alicia and Jeremy
