Our Niece, Adaya, is Here!

Tuesday, November 27th was a glorious day for the Wilkie's. Steven and Tara welcomed their little girl, Adaya Rose Wilkie. She was 7 lbs 9 oz. We already love her to pieces. Adaya is Hebrew for "God's Precious Jewel" and she is just that!

Pretty in pink.

What a sweet moment captured. Steven and baby Adaya bonding together.

Jake's Birthday Party

While we were home for the Thanksgiving weekend, we celebrated Jake's 6th birthday at a jumping party. Kids big and small enjoyed jumping and sliding on all of the balloons.

Thanksgiving Weekend

On Thanksgiving Day Bradley and I, along with my parents, babysat Jake and Charlie. At one point Bradley walked down the hallway and heard the pitter pat of little feet behind him. When he came back into the living room he'd captured two little munchkins...and they all three loved every minute of the fun.


After getting ready for bed, Jake and Charlie spent a little bit of time watching The Incredibles with Nana.

Farmer's Day

Soon after we arrived in Coats we went to the annual Farmer's Day celebration. The entire town gets together for a parade. All you have to do is take your lawn chairs down to main street and you'll have a front row seat for the parade.


There were tons and tons of tractors in the parade. It was the most I've ever seen in one place.

One last goodbye

The last few days that we were in Fort Worth were a whirlwind. But, we were thankful that we were able to spend some time with family and friends before we left. Here we're at a restaurant with Jake and Charlie, our nephews. They decided to ham it up for the camera.


Charlie loves his Uncle Bradley. Here he is smiling for Bradley with the camera.


Kevin & Laura, Andy & Lisa, and Tyler & Evie all came out to see us before we left. It was a wonderful afternoon with some of our most treasured friends.

We've Moved!

As many of you already know, Bradley and I moved to North Carolina in September. He was offered a job with the City of Fayetteville as an Assistant Supervisor for a Community Center. It was an agonizing decision whether or not to move, but ultimately, after praying and talking about it, we decided that this is where we were meant to be. We have truly been blessed since we've been here. We miss so much of our lives in Fort Worth, but know that the Lord has wonderful things in store for us here.
