numero uno...

so, it has been a big year at the smith household and unfortunately distance separates us from so many people that we love. we know you all love being inundated with thousands of photos of lily, but for those of you who don't have all day on your hands, we thought this might be a better way to stay in touch! so, without further ado, we have begun a blog...
but, how do you even start a blog? we aren't so sure! but, we figured since we've had such a jam packed last year or so, we'd do a little recap of some of the highlights...


some of the big happenings in the smith household:

1) we found out we were going to have a baby!!!! hallelujah!!!


2) ryan matched in urology and graduated! (again, hallelujah!!!)


3) our amazing daughter was born - lily howden smith - 29 january 2007


4) g-kath, muffy, skippy and all the aunts and uncles came to cville to visit


5) colts won the superbowl!!!


6) vacations with the families



7) reading chicka chicka boom boom for the 1,000th time

8) the smith clan heads to italy to visit brandon



9) holiday firsts with lily!


10) court struggles through the chicago marathon (and struggles it putting it nicely!)


so, that's the super quick recap of the last year or so. it's been quite an adventure and we could not be more thankful for the way the Lord has blessed us.
anyway, welcome to our blog. we will see where it takes us!
blessings,
the smiths

Did you have fun at halloween on the lawn? We really missed that this year. Did you take the trolly over? That was always Laurel's favorite part. We had "Downtown Boo" which was fun. Reed ate and slept. Laurel got too much candy!

Awesome about the marathon. I've got an itch to get a treadmill to try to build my knees back up to do some running. Scratch, scratch.

Yay! I'm so happy you have become a blogger... I will definitely be a regular reader!

thank you for keeping your bathroom adventures to yourselves. this is a very large improvement from lil's less classy uncle, B's blog (note: obviously court narrated this bc i know ry would never be outdown by his younger brother and im sure has more stories about bowel functions than any of us care to hear about).

also, i love being inundated with lily pictures, this takes the pressure off me to have kids for a REALLY REALLY long time. so continue to fulfill jana's void for like 10 more years, with 5 or 6 more small smiths.

ps, gkath has got to go. you cannot refer to a urologists mother with a pet name for a catheter...ps it may or may not be screwed up that i even made that correlation, perhaps we all need help...

love all 3 of you-see you soonish :)
