Welcome Amalia Iris Selph!

God brought our little Amalia to us on Saturday, January 16th at 8:39 p.m. She weighed in at 9 pounds 5 ounces and was 20 inches long. What a miracle, what a blessing!

Still Waiting...

In true Selph kid fashion, our little girl is taking her sweet time to make her arrival. I have felt "early labor" symptoms in the past 24 hours so maybe she is on her way very soon! Please keep praying for us as we are eager to meet this little one.

Christmas Day Highlights

Christmas Eve Steaks

The "Selph men" cooked our steaks in true Selph style over a hot fire on Christmas Eve. Fun to have such a tradition!

Christmas with Grandpa and Grandma Selph

What a blessing it has been to have Grandpa and Grandma Selph here with us from Greenville this year. We have loved each day and have had loads of fun!

Last Days of 4

We are savoring these last days of just time with our boys. Also, Ben and I had the blessing of getting away to Seattle for a day to attend a wedding in one of Seattle's oldest hotels. Not much longer until we meet our little one. I am feeling good, very round, a little anxious for the birth, and very excited.

Go Navy Beat Army!

The boys (daddy and Winchester included) got to have a Christmas camp out last night in our living room. In other news- it was a great day for Navy football... 8 years in a row beating Army!

A Caroling We Go

We had the blessing of going to an old folks home here in town with our church to sing Christmas carols this past Sunday. It was a sweet time and the boys enjoyed both giving attention and receiving attention from such lovely old people.

Tree Hunt

This year was our first year to go and actually chop down a tree from a tree farm. Noah picked about five trees that were his favorite and Hudson just enjoyed weaving in and out of the trees despite the fact he kept tripping over the old stumps in the ground. It was the perfect little boy adventure (actually big boy adventure too because Ben loves any excuse to use his chain saw!).

Splashing Around

Our lovely drainage system in the backyard makes for a perfect pond (quite literally) for the boys to go swimming in... well not quite a swim but certainly a soak! Noah even tried out a little "cliff jumping" this time around. Even though this means muddy and stinky boys, the clean-up is well worth it seeing how much fun they have.
