Schizophrenic Fan
A couple at our church were kind enough to buy Kharis this cute little Volunteers outfit. (We were wondering when the color orange would make its way into our home.) So out of the kindness of OUR hearts we decided to let her wear it today for the big UT/UF game. (Go Florida. Shhhh!) Just to even things out, though, Kharis also made an appearance in some Mizzou attire to make sure everyone knows she’ll always be Mizzou through and through.
Happy Grandparents Day

Roughly translated… I love you Grandpa and Grandma Arnold and Grandpa and Grandma Parrish.
Finally finished…kind-of
We finally got the house all set up with the exception of the basement. That’s my next project. Thanks to mom, dad, and Brian’s mom and dad for all the help! Here are some pics…

Kharis’ July
July was a pretty eventful month for Miss Kharis Grace. First, was her first 4th of July! Even though she saw no fireworks, she was all dolled up and ready to go days in advance. Here are some pictures of all her fab 4th outfits…
Grandma and Grandpa Parrish came to visit us in our new home at the beginning of July. While here, Kharis drank water out of a straw for the first time– a big milestone for G&G to witness. They also got to be here for Brian’s first sermon at our new church.
We went to Splash Country with the youth group from the church and Kharis got to give swimming a try. Not a big hit. The water was freezing and it only frustrated her. The day definitely wore her out, though…
Grandma Arnold, Aunt Ashley, and Chris came to visit too. While here, Kharis celebrated her six month birthday, ate cereal for the first time, rolled over for the first time, and got to go to the park for a picnic and some play time…for the first time.
And finally, Kharis DID end up ”swimming” in her new pool Grandma and Grandpa Parrish bought her. She loved it!
Big month for the little girl. August should be just as exciting!!
About
On Monday, May 26, 2008, we took a home pregnancy test and found out that we were great with child (before that we were just plain great). Who knew that peeing on a stick could bring such joy? We even took a picture of the stick but we’ll spare everyone that image. One week later an ultrasound confirmed that Katie did indeed have a little baby growing inside of her belly.
Well, nine months went by in a flash and our little girl is finally here. On Thursday, January 22, 2009, at 4:50 in the afternoon, Kharis Grace Parrish entered the world. She is absolutely perfect. We are so grateful to our Father in heaven who has blessed us by giving us the stewardship of this little girl. We invite everyone to check in from time to time and watch as Kharis grows and as Katie and I try to handle all of this. I am sure our attempt at being parents will be entertaining and sometimes just plain laughable. Your prayers would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
