Thanksgiving 2017

Well....thanksgiving was amazing....so amazing in fact that we took no pictures.

We had a an amazing time with the Knowles side of the family. We got to enjoy the company of Gram, Barbe, Rick, Megan, and Grady. It was a day full of games, fun, and relaxation. Its amazing how the kids get older how much easier it is to actually relax.

On Saturday after Thanksgiving, Callie completed her first children's marathon. 25 miles were completed at home over 1 1/2 months and the last 1.2 miles was completed in Seattle. I am so proud of her! This was difficult for her and I love the fact that she persevered through her difficulties and never gave up.

Completed!

At the starting line and ready to go

Liam and Preston came along and cheered her on

We took advantage of being downtown and spent the morning exploring and being tourists in Seattle.

Getting growy

Now that Liam has arrived, it's becoming more and more obvious how big and mature Callie is! I keep telling her that she needs to stop getting so big.....her response? "No, I want to get growy like you so I can open the blinds and drive all by myself!"......hmmm, not quite ready for that! But this weekend was a BIG weekend for Callie, Saturday I was feeding Liam and Callie was changing her babies when she ran off to the bathroom. After a couple minutes Preston ran to check on her and we found that she decided she was done with her pacifier and was throwing it into the trash (we had previously gotten rid of it until we found out she was afraid of the dark, and on our pediatrician's advice, gave it back to her after a month of no sleep). We went with it and Saturday she had her first pacifier free night......it was rough! Unfortunately Preston had to deal with the brunt of it, as I was up with Liam. Not much sleep in the graham house! We were motivated though.....Sunda...

Introducing.....Callie Lynn Graham

Our baby girl has finally come to join our family! Callie was born on August 10th at 6:34 pm., weighing in at 7 pounds 1 ounce and measuring 19.5 inches long. She is a absolute delight and Preston and I can't seem to get enough of her. Although the laboring went quickly, the delivery proved a bit trickier for me and we ended up needing to deliver by C-section. Callie was extremely healthy and was ready to leave the hospital even before I was! Due to a few complications, Preston, Callie, and I ended up staying at the hospital for 5 days. Luckily Preston has so much time off of work - don't know what we would have done if he needed to go back after a week. We can't seem to say enough positive things about the nursing staff at St. Joseph's hospital. They were amazing! Although it was not fun staying at the hospital that long (especially since we only packed our bag for one night) we got a lot of extra help with nursing and overall care of Callie. Both Preston and Call...
