Baby Anna’s Birth Story

Baby· Birth· Newborn

13 Jun

I love when couples do not find out the gender of their babies; it makes for such an even more awesome surprise when the birth day actually happens! This family has gone both ways, having found out the gender of only one of their four.  And that fourth child arrived on June 9, 2011 at 8:42 am.

Being the sweet husband that he is, Adam prepared for baby #4 in more ways that one.  He even gave his wife a pedicure in honor of the upcoming event 🙂

Annnnd… wait for it… SHE was born– Anna Louise– with two dimples and curly, red hair!  The pink and the “girl” are worthy of noting here because the long awaited, baby girl Anna already has three big brothers!

Mommy’s princess weighed in at 7 lbs. 8oz.  Kudos to daddy for working the camera for the weight shot as I was not allowed into the nursery for it 🙂

And, this would be my FAV from the day. Sooo sweet.

Check out that dimple. 🙂

Anna and the fellas in her life 🙂  These little stinkers were so excited to check out their new baby sister!

hehe.

Adam and Josie, thank you for allowing me to share your big day with you!  Baby Anna is beautiful and just precious!

Hey, hey friend! :) I'm so glad you're here! God gives me all the strength to navigate this crazy, beautiful life of mine; and this is my attempt to keep it somewhat documented and organized! My family and I believe we are called to be stewards of the land and try our hardest to live a biblically-based, holistic life. You'll discover a whole lot about nature, photography, and being a creative entrepreneur if you poke around a little bit on the site! Enjoy. More about me...

So proud of all of our PAC anglers and boat captains! They finished up their season yesterday at Santee-Cooper, with one of the PAC junior teams bringing in 1st place for the tournament and 1st place for anglers of the year! 🥇🎉 It’s been such a special experience for my two fellas to share in together, for sure! 💙

Spring break has come and gone, and I’m just getting a chance to unpack it all! 🤪 My pal Allison (@christofiadventurers) and I decided to take a group camping again; this time for 2 nights, and with 7 kiddos. 🏕️🥰 Last year we backpacked everything in, but this year we opted for a campground, but with no electrical and water hook-ups to keep it somewhat off the beaten path. We had a blast! We hiked, conquered height fears, and kayaked. We didn’t expect the temps to drop to 39° the first night, so most of us FROZE and didn’t sleep well. 😅 The second night was much warmer, though, thank goodness. And most were sleeping in hammocks! (I slept in a tent because I needed to be able to tear down camp fast early on Saturday morning and hit the road, otherwise, I would have.)


Happy Resurrection Day! ✝️

A few pictures from today! These boys had a great day at the high school division Phantom Open on Lake Murray representing the PAC Panthers! This was a state-wide tournament and there were around 150 teams total. They came home with 5th place- a 5-fish limit bag weighing 21.47lbs!

I love experiencing ‘firsts’ with my child; always have. And that doesn’t stop when they are teenagers. 🥰 February 21, 2026 was Gus’ first reenactment- the Battle of Aiken! You can tell by the black powder on his face, too, as that is the initiation. 😁

He planned for this day for a year. One of his buddies briefly mentioned after the 2025 one that they should look into being involved. Well, that conversation sparked a drive in this boy! Although the friend didn’t go onto being involved, Gus knew he would! So he saved up some money and purchased his gear. 

At the last minute, the unit he was originally registered with backed out of attending due to potential bad weather. So that left us scrambling. We told him not to worry and to just pack the vehicle with all his gear and we would just drive on to Aiken and figure it out when we get there. 😅 And by divine intervention, I’m sure of it, he ended up with the most wonderful unit of reenactors that he will continue with now, for years to come. 🙌🙏 

PS: he had his heart set on representing the South, but his unit was drafted to portray Union federalists at the last minute. 🤪
