Sally Pics...

Mama enjoying her little girl...Look at little Sally Marzagao looking so much like her daddy!!!

I can't wait until you come home Sally...all your dogs are waiting on you!

Charlie and Amanda visit

I was lucky enough to spend some time with Amanda and Charlie on Friday afternoon while we were down at the beach. Charlie was all too interested in the kite flying on the beach...it quit flying and that was all she could ask about; Amanda told her at least 10 times "the kite had to go to bed"!This face captures how happy Charlie seems to be all the time. I'm sure Mom sees a different side, but she was too cute while she was visiting us. My cousin, Cole, is in the background and once Charlie discovered them, they had a blast laughing together.

We really enjoyed our visit from them!!!!

Suggs Family IOP Beach Trip

Our annual Suggs Family Christmas in Isle of Palms was this past weekend. As usual we had a wonderful time with aunts, uncles, cousins, sisters, brother, moms and dads alike. Here are a few pictures I captured of Hannah one afternoon playing in her exersaucer. She can really entertain herself for awhile in this! Little baby Hunter!!!!

Sarah "Sally" Tennent Marzagao

Congratulations to Sarah Preston and Marwan who welcomed Sally Marzagao this afternoon at 5:24 pm. She weighs 7lbs 7oz and is 20 1/2 inches long. She has a head full of dark hair and is just as precious as she can be!!! Momma and baby are both doing fine. I can't wait to hold her tomorrow and give her some Aunt C love! More pictures to follow :)

Bedtime for T

Anna and Tombo asked us for dinner on Thursday night so I was able to have some T time. Look at this "I"m getting tired" picture with T and his Mama.
Anna put T in his swing to catch an evening nap...he looked so cozy in his footed velour pajamas!

Fast asleep. Couldn't you just squeeze that sweet face?! I can't tell you how much T has changed in his almost 5 months...he looks so much different, has SO much personality and just gets sweeter by the minute. T will be 5 months old on Friday...again, where has the time gone?! WOW!

Favorite things

Mom and Dad kept Hannah for Hunter & Amanda on Thursday night (as usual, they keep her if they can) and I stopped by for a brief photo session. Mom was changing her into her PJs which is why she is half naked. She is doing her favorite things...going ppthththththth with her tongue and blowing bubbles and below you'll see her holding her feet. She loves to do that too. She has really grown up a lot in the last few months. So much fun to play with now; it'll only get more fun from here!!! Hannah was 6 months old November 30th...WOW!

Hannah and her Grandaddy. They're looking at Mimi who's making them laugh!

Christmas shopping with Emory Anne

Scoping out Aunt C and loving her rattle that is always in her mouth!
Emory Anne and Haley came over last week one day to do some Christmas shopping on my computer. Emory Anne was as talkative as usual and was helping her mom shop. If she's anything like her mother, Gene's in trouble!!

I meant to tell everybody that Emory Anne has had two teeth for awhile now and is possible getting more as we speak. Also tomorrow Emory Anne will be 5 months old...can you believe it?!

Lucky Aunt C with T

I was lucky enough to keep T overnight on Saturday. Although I had those typical nervous thoughts like, "I'm not going to hear him in the middle of the night", everything was fine. He was an absolute angel! Sarah Preston and I tag teamed him and got him to eat his whole bowl of rice cereal and more green beans than he's ever eaten...he must have been intimidated and just decided to open up :). Haley brought Emory Anne over to play too. After the babies slept awhile, they woke up and we had them staring at each other! -They must know what their future holds for them-- EA & T...sounds like a couple to me!

Thanksgiving with T and Hannah

Happy Thanksgiving!!!! This picture is of T getting to Woodcreek yesterday afternoon after he had spent time with his Nana and Big Daddy in Lake City. Walks and I left Woodcreek and went to Mom and Dad's house where we got to see Hunter, Amanda and Hannah. Hannah looks just like Hunter in this smiling picture!
She loves her exersaucer.....

Hannah always in Bethune...

Hunter and Amanda (with Hannah in tow) have been at Bethune every free (not working) moment they have. I haven't seen Hannah since last Monday night and I miss her so much! I'm looking forward to seeing her tomorrow on Thanksgiving- so more Hannah pics to come soon.

Emory Anne's Baptism

Emory Anne's baptism on Sunday, November 19th
With the family at Gene and Haley's for lunch afterwards
Sweet face!!!

Aunt C get's a visit from Anna and T

Super T!!!!!!!! Anna and T came by for a visit this afternoon and we got a few pics of him. Look how much he's grown up--he has more hair than he had 2 weeks ago. It's amazing how fast they grow up! We're eating dinner @ Anna and Tombo's tonight with Gene, Haley and Emory Anne too--more pics of the little couple will come tomorrow. T said he was excited to see his girlfriend tonight :)

Visit with Wright, Kelly and Matt

Casey and I stopped by to see Wright Collins earlier this afternoon who is just as cute as he can be. I can't tell who he looks like- I think a good combo of his Mom and Dad. He weighs almost 11 lbs now and is just over 2 weeks old...maybe that's why Kelly looks so good!!! I was lucky enough to hold him for a long time and listen to him grunt. He makes a lot of sweet little noises, but they said he doesn't cry much at all. It was good to see them today and I can't wait to go back next week and get my hands on him again!!!

T's Baptism

T with his Mom and Dad and Godparents Grace Merry and Walker Cate after the service on Sunday.
He was worn out after all of the celebration!
T and Big Daddy enjoyed a little nap together too.

The baptism service was very nice and the brunch and Anna and Tombo's was absolutely perfect. T had a great morning and was lucky to be surrounded by so many friends and family!!!

It's a BOY!!!

Kristen and Drew found out that they will be having a boy...he is still due March 18th. Now my little girls will have another boy to play with--can't wait until March!!!!

This is KiKi holding Emory Anne getting ready for motherhood :)

More pictures of James

I love these pictures that Brantley sent us of James...look at those lips and that head full of dark hair. I think he is a good combination of his mom and dad. SO CUTE!!!!!!

Babies in costumes!!

These are my three babies in their halloween costumes...Hannah the pumpkin, T the cow and Emory Anne the Ladybug. They were all precious!!!

James Linwood Hodges Jr.

Brantley and Chip welcomed their baby, James Linwood Hodges Jr. to the world today. We are so happy for them and can't wait to meet James! He weighs 7lbs 8oz and is 20 inches long. Congratulations!!!!

Campbell Wright Collins

Congratulation Kelly and Matt on the birth of your son Campbell Wright Collins. He was born this morning at 3:29am and weighed in at 9lbs 12ozs and is 21 inches long...whoa!!! Kelly, how did your tiny butt carry around an almost 10lb baby?! I'm so glad to welcome your sweet healthy boy into this world and we can't wait to meet him! (Thanks for the info Leslie)

Halloween Hannah

Hannah in her Halloween outfit at Mom and Dad's Monday night. She is teething now which gets her cranked up every once in awhile, but usually a happy baby now!
She is almost 5 months old...wow!!!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN FROM HANNAH!!!!

and GO TIGERS :)

Halloween T

How grown up does T look now?! It's like he became a little man since the last time I saw him. He looks so cute in his halloween outfit.
HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!!!

Congratulation Nilla and Sam (Walks' cousin Nilla Cate) on having your first little girl.
We welcome Sarah Cate "Catie" Hesley!!!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LESLIE!!!

Happy birthday Leslie! Hope you have a good birthday weekend. Also, happy birthday to Chris Kirk (sorry Chris, I don't have any pictures of you)!

Pumpkin Patch

Taking 3 month olds to the pumpkin patch works about as well as you would think. They were SO CUTE but trying to get them both to smile and look at the camera at the same time is not easy.
HAPPY HALLOWEEN from T & Emory Anne!!!!

T's quick photo shoot

I love this picture of T. I made a quick trip by to help Anna out for 10 minutes yesterday and was able to catch these great photos. Look at that sweet face...and better yet, the "I'm dying laughing" face. He was just giggling like you wouldn't believe!! More pictures to come later of T and Emory Anne in the pumpkin patch.

Hannah Treat

I was able to keep Hannah for a few hours on Thursday morning to help Hunter and Amanda out. Nana (Amanda's Mom) is her usual sitter, but she hasn't been feeling well. We hope that she feels better soon. Hannah misses her Nana, but had fun with Aunt C-line for a change! We strolled around the neighborhood which she loved, but my favorite is when Sarah Preston and I put her in the Bumbo seat. How cute is that? She was leaning over "gumming it"- I think she might be teething a little. She has a lot of drool and a strong bite!

This is just a collage of all the good pictures I took while I was over there yesterday. I hope you can see how cute she is even though they are so small. She is a little camera shy sometimes. She better get used to it, between Aunt C, Daddy and Grandaddy, she's going to be the subject of MANY pictures to come :)

Happy Friday the 13th from Willie!!!!

Willie is so darn cute...especially when he is so lazy he is lying down to drink his water!!!!

Nana's Birthday at Woodcreek with T

T celebrated Nana's birthday with a crowd of the Milliken clan out at Woodcreek on Sunday. This is T sitting in his carrier after a long, rainy day, forcing a smile because he really wanted to be home sleeping. Look at that cute little face...looking at his Daddy! T is doing pretty well with sleeping these days- maybe up once a night now instead of twice.
