Award-Winning Husband

Tony is this year's recipient of Piedmont College's Education Excellence Award. He was presented with this honor at a Gala held during Alumni Weekend.

We made the trek to the foothills with our children in tow. We flashbacked to a simpler time, a slower pace, an irreplaceable part of our lives. As we looked around campus, we saw so much that had changed, yet so much remained the same. 

We are thankful for Ol' Piedmont and are proud it is part of us. 

As I tried to explain the meaning of his daddy's award to Cam, I told him that his daddy made Piedmont College look good and that he was good advertisement for it. Cam's response was, "So he's getting an award for being the best person ever!" Not exactly. He doesn't need that award. He has already won it in his son's eyes.

Triple Treat

Although we didn't expect our babies to arrive quite so soon, March 31st became a day we will always hold dear. Our three loves decided to come at 30 weeks gestation. We have never held our breaths as long as we did that day waiting to hear the news that all were here and doing well. 

Holland Belle McCullers arrived first at 12:24 pm weighing in at 3 lbs. 7 oz. Her brother, Charlie Reiker, followed her at 12:26 pm and was the "big" brother at 3 lbs. 9 oz. Last and least was Sutton Michelle who was only 2 lbs. 8 oz. and was right behind her brother at 12:26 pm too. They all came out crying! Hallelujah!

They are every bit of perfection. They will continue to grow bigger and stronger in the NICU for several more weeks. 

Think of all the great things that come in threes: abc, 123, I love you, the holy trinity! Three tiny miracles. 

Welcome to our family sweet loves. We are so excited about all the triple adventures ahead! Our hearts are overflowing! 💗💙💜

Wedding Bells

Our teaching careers lead us into all kinds if places as we are woven into the lives of others and they become part of ours. We got to go to Joanna and Colby's wedding, which was truly picture perfect and how everyone wishes their wedding day could be. 

This was our first wedding as a family of four. Maeve had lots of questions and was surprised at a lot of the things that happen at a wedding like the way the wedding party walks in one at a time, how people stand when the bride walks down the aisle, and that they actually kissed!  I have a feeling her Barbies will be getting married and attending weddings in the next few weeks. 

Wedding always remind me of how much I loved my own wedding day and how blessed I am to have loved and grown in my own marriage. So many blessings in life come through marriage. 

All A's

It's time for baseball again. Cam is playing kid pitch this year, and he has the best coach- his daddy! 

Looking forward to a winning season.

Signed Up

It's official. Our baby is all grown up. We registered her for kindergarten, or as she says,  we signed her up! 

She bounded right in, told them her name and how to spell it, took a smiling picture, and then walked away with a teacher she had just met. 

Unlike her brother, she has very little apprehension. The year Cam was in kindergarten, was my best school year yet. I attributed it to him being at school with me. Now that Maeve will be there too, I am expecting my heart to be complete. 

Watch out, MBES! Here comes another McCullers!

Purple Pump It Up Party

Out of five years, three of their parties have been together. Since they are in the same class this year, we especially wanted them to invite all of their class buddies. 

The major highlights of the night were the extravagant castle cake and opening presents in the big blow up chair. It was a fabulously five kind of fiesta!

Beautiful Birthday

March 2nd has been such a memorable day for the last five years. Recalling that treacherous drive in the snow to get to the hospital just in the nick of time is a story I never get tired of retelling. This year's weather was in sharp contrast to Maeve's birthing day. This year she got to enjoy sunny, springlike weather. It was an absolutely gorgeous Sunday! 

From five candles in a biscuit to making and decorating cupcakes with Moo, we hope this fifth birthday will be memorable for our Maevey! She got flowers and balloons at church from Aunt Laura, which made her feel extra special I know. She picked lunch at Chickfila but since it was Sunday had to go with her second choice- Taco Bell!
