Aliya's 1st day of preschool

Today was Aliya's 1st day of preschool.  She was so excited!  She didn't cry at all.  She was too excited about playing with play-dough :-).  We posted photos & video on our gallery at the link below (or click on the title above) - so check them out!

Aliya's 3rd Birthday Party

Photos from Aliya's 3rd Birthday Party.

We had Aliya's birthday party today and everyone had an awesome time. We took a ton of photos and they are here for your "viewing pleasure". We still haven't downloaded all of the photos from the other cameras, so there's bound to be changes to the slideshow. Aliya says a 'GREAT BIG THANK YOU!' to everyone that came and made her day so special. See you soon!

Easter 2008

Just sharing an updated photo of the family taken today.

Gavin Christopher Bowden!

Well... he finally arrived. Friday, February the 1st, 2008 at 10:54 am, we were blessed with the birth of our son, Gavin Christopher. He was 7 lbs 13 oz and 20 in long. All the family had a fit over him, to say the least. Stacey's mom, sister, and father were there as well as my mother who flew down from Maryland to be here for the birth. My brother Jeremy and our friends Mandy, Holly & Shea were able to be with us as well today and spent time visiting with us and the little man.

Big sister Aliya was able to join us around 3:30 and got to love on her little brother for the first time. She is definitely going to be mommy's helper with the baby.

We'll keep you posted with the latest on our little bundle of joy! You can also check out more info at our MySpace page at: http://www.myspace.com/chrisbowden139

Snow day in GA!

Well... Hell froze over (not really!). It just snowed in GA on the 16th. Aliya was VERY excited. She had an absolute blast. It really makes me miss having snow every year. Anywho... here's some photos that we took of Aliya having fun in the snow.

This was Aliya's first experience with snow. She got to ride in her sled that "Mimi & Papa" gave her last year.

1st Snowman!



"He's so cute"... so says Aliya.

Happy 2008!

Can't believe it's already 2008! We're all doing good here. Stacey is ready to have baby Gavin. The photo is from Christmas with my mom & dad (Janice & Calbert) and my brother, sister-in-law, and niece (Jeremy, Michelle, and Maddison). We'll post again once Gavin arrives. Keep us in your prayers!
