Andi and I are busy, busy! Justus and Callie Grace are keeping us on our toes! Callie is saying new words everyday and Justus is so gentle, smiling all day long. :) Here is a picture of Callie looking over the hymnal while playing the piano. She was quite a hit!
Well, a little over a week has passed since we brought home Justus. We are doing remarkably well! I am so thankful for my mother-in-law, Bev, who is helping in so many wonderful ways. Callie Grace is being such a sweet little girl. She is taking the new addition quite well [...]
Our little baby boy was born on December 9th, 2009 at 6:10 pm. He weighed 8 pounds 2 ounces and was 20 inches long. We have been contacted through email, text message, Facebook, and phone calls by so many of you and we sure do appreciate your prayers and thoughts. Here is [...]
I am currently reading Shepherding a Child’s Heart, by Tedd Tripp. It is a wonderful book, and I feel like I am underlining most of it! The author has a hard word for parents, or at least it is a hard word for me. He says “Children are worshipers. Either they [...]
After taking some time off from the blogging world, the Meade Family Blog is back! There is so much to tell! Callie Grace is now almost 10 months old. She is crawling, and pulling herself up on everything she can. She is incredibly fast, and keeps Philip and me on our [...]

Callie Grace has had a rough few days. Starting Saturday night, she started crying in her sleep, every hour or so, through out the night. We were hoping it was just a fluke night, as she seemed fine all day Sunday. Sunday night brought the same thing, and by Monday she began [...]
We just got back from taking our first set of family portraits. Needless to say, we went in with a budget, and then blew that wide open when we saw the pictures of Callie Grace! She was so sweet and precious, but refused to give a big smile, despite her daddy doing the [...]
Due to the near arctic weather, and also due to lack of energy on my part (mostly the latter), Callie Grace and I had not yet ventured out in nature much. Before she was born I had been advised by multiple people to get her outside daily whenever possible, and that was my plan. [...]
It has been such a joy to daily get more insights into Callie Grace. It is so amazing to watch! From which pacifier she likes, if she wants to be swaddled or not, if she likes her very expensive swing or not (that’s a big NOT, of course), every day seems to reveal more about [...]
