Memorial Day...wait


Kate & Mom at Winona Lake

Playing in the water at Shelby's house

Fun in the water!

Ready for baby sister to arrive

Well...no baby this weekend, but our Dr. appointment this morning shows that the baby is far enough along that we will deliver tomorrow (June 2nd) which is Grammy Briscoe's birthday as well. We enjoyed a wonderful weekend at home, watched the Indy 500 race on TV (Dad was sad he could not go to the race), watched Kate play in the yard, and we went for many walks! We will keep you posted tomorrow. Kate has loved talking to the baby each night before going to bed. Stay tuned the newest addition to the family will arrive tomorrow. Thanks for all your prayers!

Getting Closer!

Ready for God's gift to arrive!
G-Mom & G-Dad came for a quick visit

Mommy's & my toe nails are ready for the baby to come too.

I have everything ready for the baby to arrive!

GO KU! (Makes Daddy & Papaw Happy)

As the final preparations take place this week for the arrival of Baby Briscoe, Kate has enjoyed getting everything ready. From the car seat to the baby swing, Kate has loved "practicing" on her dolls and barney. The home stretch has arrived and we are hoping for an early arrival this week. Thanks to each of you for all your prayers...a busy week ahead...we hope! Hope Daddy can make the race!

Getting Ready


Ready for Baby Sister to arrive!

It was great to see David & Marisha

We went to see Daddy at a Grace baseball game

Take me out to the ball game!

No better fun than getting dirty!

As the days get closer to the "Due Date" Kate has enjoyed helping Mom and Dad get things ready around the house and in the yard. She has been good at folding laundry, cleaning rooms, and helping dad clean up the yard.

She is quick to tell everyone that her baby sister is still in Mommy's tummy. All the recent visits to the Doctors office have been good and baby sister is still set to arrive on May 31st. We are all hoping for an early arrival so that Daddy can go to the Indy 500 with Grandpa Cole. We will keep you posted as we get closer. We had a great evening visiting with David & Marisha Pressley earlier this week. Marisha is expecting and due in July. It was great to see our close friends, we had a wonderful time of fellowship together. Thanks to everyone for their prayers as briscoe baby #2 gets closer to arriving. Stay Tuned...

Happy Mother's Day!

Kate had a wonderful Sunday with Mom! We went to church and then to brunch at Ruby Tuesday's. Mom wanted nothing more than to take it easy and have a restful afternoon! Kate got Mommy a card to get her nails done before the baby arrives the end of May.

We thank Mommy for all she does for our family! We love you Mom! Happy Mother's Day!

Thank You Jesus for Easter!
Kate had a wonderful weekend in Indy with G-Mom & G-Dad Toombs for Easter! Kate enjoyed coloring eggs with G-Mom and taking a trip to the Trader's Point Creamery to see the cows and other animals. We had a wonderful Sunday celebrating the Resurrection of our Lord Jesus and Kate loved sunday school class. She wore her new pink easter dress that Grammy Briscoe bought for her in Virginia. After Church we had lunch with all the family and Kate enjoyed hunting for eggs with all her cousins! We then went over and saw grandma Cole and Aunt Abbie who just got back from Florida for spring break.

As the sermon shared this morning we are to live our lives as living testimonies to share about the Lord! What a blessing as a parent to know that we have the opportunity to impact the lives of our children everyday about what God has done for all of us! We pray you all had a blessed day! Christ has risen!!

Papaw and Grammy Visit from Virginia


So fun to be with Grammy & Papaw this week

Papaw thanks for my new bat and ball
We had fun at the OCC

Enough basketball time to go home

thanks for such a fun weekend Grammy and Papaw!

It was great to have Grammy and Papaw visit from Virginia for the NCCAA Basketball Championship that Daddy hosted at Grace this past week. Kate was able to spend lots of time with Grammy and Papaw shopping and playing games at home. Kate missed her nap each day and will play catch up this week. She loved all the Grammy Gummies she ate and she enjoyed playing baseball with Papaw inside! Kate took Grammy and Papaw to Ft. Wayne on Sunday for lunch and to go shopping. It was wonderful to have them both here and we are so thankful for the wonderful memories we made. Thank you Grammy & Papaw for a wonderful weekend!! Love you, Kate
