December 29, 2010 (Making Mothers’ Day)

Katie makes mothers day presents for the important mothers in her life on our kitchen floor in May 2010.

December 27, 2010 (Rex & Molly)

April 2010 My sister’s dog, Zoe, had a large litter of puppies in February, and since we lost Buster, we had been looking for a new pet. We ended up with two of them! They’re a great couple of beasts – they are gentle with Katherine and are very easy to get along with. Today, they’re [...]

December 26, 2010 (A Stray Cat)

This stray cat wandered into our yard often and tried to adopt us. Daddy is not a cat person! We got some puppies a few weeks later and that was the last we saw of this cat.

December 26, 2010 (Snowy Winter in Mississippi)

Never in recent memory has it snowed in Mississippi as much as it has this winter. A typical year doesn’t see any snow, and probably once a decade it will snow enough to stick overnight. But this year there were several snowstorms that each dropped a couple of inches on us here. Naturally, Katie loves [...]

December 24, 2010 (Bye, Buster)

Our sweet dog Buster didn’t survive the year, but we had a great time with him while he was around. He treated Katie with care and we do miss him! We’ll show you our two new puppies in a few days.

December 23, 2010 (First Birthday)

September 10, 2009 was Katie’s first birthday. This is her at one year old. The picture on the right is her with her birthday breakfast cake.

December 23, 2010 (Katiebug)

So the name ‘Katydid‘ never stuck — we ended up calling her ‘Katiebug’.

June 15, 2009 (9 Months Old)

Hi everybody! I turned nine months old a few days ago. I still don’t have any teeth, but I’m crawling around on my hands and knees now, no more army-man crawling! I thought you guys might like to see some video of me, taken by the mommy-cam.

April 4, 2009 (Blueberry Muffins)

So a few weeks ago, I saw a video on youtube that was all about parents giving babies lemons to watch their faces. Some of these babies were older, but a lot of these babies were about Katherine’s age (so it looked) and it got me thinking. Babies start with milk and move to rice [...]

January 21, 2009 (Katherine’s First Christmas)

Katherine, here are some fun things to remember in December: Christmas with Daddy’s boss, Dr. Bennett Your three-month birthday A beautiful snow day! Celebrating the wedding of Kylie and Milton Wilcox Christmas with Mommy’s boss, Cynthia Newland’s family Celebrating your friend, Emma Scott’s 1st birthday Going to a cookie party at our friend’s The Scott’s Our [...]

December 22, 2008 (A Cozy Nap)

December 20, 2008 (White Christmas)

Katherine’s third month birthday was December 10, and the very next day it snowed in Mississippi. Talk about a happy birthday present. It didn’t snow long, and it turned to slush very quickly, but it sure was fun to see snow for Christmas! Katherine won’t remember it, but it’s neat to think it snowed her [...]

December 2, 2008 (Pictures of the Girl)

October 30, 2008 (7 Weeks)

So Katherine has come around on baths now. Apparently she loves them. This is good news for us. Katherine and I spent some time outside yesterday watching the sky and the trees. Very exciting for both of us. Katherine likes waking up in the morning about as much as I do.

October 19, 2008 (Autumn Is Here)

This past week has definitely led to an overall feeling of autumn! Sweaters were brought out, warm drinks were made, apples and caramel were eaten, autumn scented candles were lit, and frolicking was to be had as well as long, lazy, afternoon naps, movies were watched all snuggled in blankets, and friends and family have [...]

October 10, 2008 (A Month Old)

I’m a month old today! To celebrate, here’s some pictures from my day:

October 4, 2008 (Our Katydid)

What’s a Katydid? I’m glad you asked. Many people don’t know that a Katydid is a singing bug in the cricket family that looks like it’s half grasshopper, half leaf and sounds like a cicada. ‘Katydid’ is also our affectionate nickname for baby Katherine. Hello, little Katydid!

October 1, 2008 (Daddy Smooch)

September 28, 2008 (The Nursery)

Once upon a time, A little girl named Katherine was but a twinkle in her parents’ eyes. “Oh goody,” said her mommy, “I get to make a nursery!” She looked and looked and pondered what she would use to decorate. “How about Peter Rabbit in a garden?” She wondered. So off she went to find Peter [...]

September 24, 2008 (Two Weeks Old)

Hi everybody. I just turned two weeks old today, so I thought I’d let you guys know what I’ve been up to. Today, Daddy read a book to me. It was Dr. Seuss. I don’t understand any of the words yet, but I really like the pictures a lot. They’re very colorful. My Mommy and my [...]

September 22, 2008 (Two Gorgeous Ladies)

I took this picture yesterday afternoon after a great visit from a friend, just before a nice long nap. I think Sarah and Katherine are two incredibly gorgeous ladies!

September 21, 2008 (Sleeping In)

Sleeping In I understand if a baby’s doing really well, she’ll sleep through the night at 6-8 weeks old. If not, it could be years. I have friends whose nearly-year-old kid still wakes them up three times a night. So you can imagine how blessed we feel that, at 11 days old, Katherine has slept through [...]

September 15, 2008 (Her First Five Days)

Katherine is now five days old, almost to the minute, and she couldn’t be doing better. We took her to the doctor for a quick scheduled check-up today and they were very pleased with how well she’s doing. She’s most of the way back up to birth weight now, and I expect she’ll be growing [...]

September 10, 2008 (It’s a Girl!)

Sarah and I have a baby! Katherine Grace Miller was born today at 4:28pm by C-section. She’s 7lb,6oz, measuring 20.5 inches. Thanks for your prayers! Here are some not-too-icky pictures of the little one: Hello World! Yeah, that’s my ugly schnoz in the top left. Katherine’s First Moments: This is Katherine on the table being cleaned [...]

September 6, 2008 (5 days to go!)

Although I am writing this on Saturday with 3 days to go, these pictures were taken Thursday night, which according to my due date, gave us 5 days to go until September 10 arrived!! (Click to view these at full size) News about what the doctor says: Katherine is a wonderfully healthy weight. Their best guess [...]

August 30, 2008 (Before & After)

Now, without any further ado, I give you the before and after pictures of our lovely home! This is the front of our lovely home. As you can see, we changed the shutters and added small shutters to the small window on the left, added a new storm door, painted the 144 above our door, [...]

August 21, 2008 (Updates!!)

Yes, we have updates! Too many to put on one post, so we’ll start with house updates because we have pictures with those. So over two weeks ago (Aug 3-9), my parents came to Jackson to help us do some renovations that Chad and I have been wanting to do, but don’t have the tools, time, [...]

July 2, 2008 (Yard Improvements)

About three months ago, a terrible storm came through Jackson, which brought several tornados and estimated 100-mph straight-line winds. Our house was right in the middle of the affected area of town. Fortunately, we only had a couple thousand bucks’ worth of damage to our house. To give you an idea of the scale of [...]

June 23, 2008 (First Anniversary)

Well, today’s our first anniversary! One year ago today, we were married at Sarah’s folks’ place out in Marietta. Sheesh, time has sure flown. These are some flowers I got for Sarah today – she loved them. We’re going to go out for supper tonight and celebrate!

June 17, 2008 (Belly Pictures)

I’m sure that there is a high demand to see what i look like now that I’m pregnant; all the ‘ooohs’ and ‘aaahs’ over a cute little pregnant belly. Well, this is supposed to help with that small detail. This first picture was taken at 16 weeks. Not much of a bump, but she’s there. [...]

June 10, 2008 (Puppy)

This…. is Buster. The newest addition to the Miller family. Chad and I have been wanting a puppy since the middle of the spring semester, but decided to wait until the summer when schedules would not be so crazy that he would not be left at home alone all day as a new puppy. FINALLY, [...]

May 14, 2008 (Our Biggest News)

OK, it’s update time. I’m not sure if it’s been long enough yet, but I figured hey, what the heck, I’ll throw a post up anyway. We’ve probably had enough happen in the last four months since the last post for me to be able to write something. So in order not to spoil you, [...]

January 8, 2008 (Happy New Year!!)

Sorry there are not many pictures right now, but if you don’t mind reading, you can catch up with us while we work on getting more pictures up. Christmas was a great holiday to celebrate this year. So much has happened in the past year with the whole process of our engagement and wedding, moving [...]

September 30, 2007 (Keeping Busy)

Well, over the past several weeks since we last posted anything here, we’ve been very, very busy. We took a trip to Louisiana (both Lafayette and New Orleans), and got my (Chad’s) sister married off. I’ve been settling very well into my new computer-programming job…it’s right up my alley. I’m also becoming involved with a [...]

June 19, 2007 (Unpacking…and Packing)

Well, I’m typing this tonight just having finished my major task for the evening: getting together everything I need for the wedding and for the honeymoon and using an advanced mathematical compression algorithm to fit it all in a pair of suitcases and get it ready to go. Tomorrow morning, I’ll go into the office at [...]

June 13, 2007 (Stir-Crazy)

The minutes passing between now and the wedding are beginning to feel more and more like months! Fortunately, a friend of mine (Schaum) has the next week or so free and he has agreed to spend it on my couch, so I don’t have to be totally alone for the duration. Thank God! Aside from just [...]

June 11, 2007 (Moved In)

This weekend, I finally got the vast majority of my belongings and furniture moved from my apartment to the house. My parents and my buddy Jason came to help, and I think I completely exhausted them! Of course, it didn’t help that the temperature was pushing 100 degrees (~37 C). I rented a UHaul, one of [...]

June 7, 2007 (Pictures From the House)

I’ve got a few pictures of the house and what it looks like now that I’ve painted. As you can see, I’m feeling right at home already! If you’re not Sarah, click the “more” link to see more pictures from the house.

June 1, 2007 (A New Home)

Wednedsay evening, I left work early and picked Sarah up, and we went down to the lawyer’s office to close on our house!  After signing papers for about an hour, the (former) owners handed us the keys and we became homeowners! Our new home is in northeast Jackson, about 10 minutes’ drive from Belhaven College [...]

May 1, 2007 (My First Shower)

Wow! I’m really getting married aren’t I?! Although I know I was proposed to, and I talk about it often, and people ask me details, and I tried on a wedding dress, it seems like like I’m just part of this really neat project that is due for school within the next few weeks. The [...]

April 12, 2007 (Getting Ready for Married Life…)

Wow, is there ever a lot that goes into getting ready for marriage! Here are just a few examples: A House We’ve been house shopping a couple of times in the past two weeks and are only now beginning to realize the extent of everything that’s involved here. We do have a couple of very [...]

April 3, 2007 (One Year)

A year ago yesterday, Sarah and I decided that we were an ‘official’ couple, on the way home to Jackson from Marietta/Atlanta.  April 2, 2006 was the date, and we had taken the day to travel to Georgia to see a Cirque du Soleil show at the Phillips Arena downtown. We had initially planned to take [...]

March 7, 2007 (So what’s the date?)

So like everyone we talk to, people are curious if we’ve picked the day we’re tying the knot. Well, I think this has been the hardest decision because it seems like every little thing depends of the date and time, but there’s no one pressing factor that lays it out any easier for us to [...]

February 19, 2007 (We Are Engaged!)

This weekend, I proposed to Sarah on Sunday evening, February 18th. We traveled to Sarah’s family’s house in Marietta for the weekend. Saturday morning, I spoke to Mr. Borders about proposing marriage to Sarah. The conversation quickly moved inside to include Sarah and her mother, and later that evening, the conversation expanded to include Grandparents, [...]

February 12, 2007 (Chad and Sarah)

Hi to our family and friends! We don’t have any major information or news to post here yet, but watch this space in the future as we will eventually have announcements and other info to place here. We appreciate your prayers for the Lord’s guidance as we earnestly and eagerly seek after Him and his path. [...]
