A New Chapter is Being Written

[nggtags gallery=3,Tori,room] It has been a long, but very blessed, couple of days for sure. While Keith came home to blog and go to sleep on Wednesday evening, Christine took advantage of the nursery at the hospital and caught up on a little sleep into Thursday morning. Granted, she was woken every 3 hours to feed Tori, but she looked far more rested by mid-day Thursday. Thursday morning, Keith took Austin to school and stopped in to work to tie up all loose ends there prior to taking a week off (Mary Lou was gracious enough to afford him the opportunity to take vacation at the “spare of the moment”).

The Beginning Of A New Era

Wow, it has only been a short 3+ years, but there have been a lot of things that we have shared with you, our friends and families. over the years at the Waldron Family Chronicles…and we are very thankful for all those who have peeked in (over 7,900 visits over that time) to see what we were up to and how Austin was growing up.
