Baby McNamee Update

Praise the Lord! We will be welcoming a sweet, baby GIRL this coming March. We are so humbled, excited and joyful for the life God is creating in Virginia's womb. We are being taught daily of God's goodness and sovereignty through this journey.

Beautiful Blacksburg Bound...

Autumn is here!

Southwest Virginia Countryside

A couple of weekends ago, Daniel and I headed up to our alma mater and breathed in some Hokie air. We were there for just the beginning of the autumn leaf beauty. Saturday, we also had a sweet time with our friend Meredith, strolled through the farmer's market and munched on the o so delicious pumpkin chocolate chip muffins from Bollos. Then Sunday and Monday, Daniel and I feasted at the Homeplace, stayed at a beautiful B&B near the Appalachian trail and drove part of the way home on the Blue Ridge Parkway. Now that is my kind of weekend! We were so grateful for the time away of rest and relaxation!

And Two Became Three

For those of you who haven't heard, we are expecting a new addition this coming March. We are so grateful and praise the Giver of Life everyday. We are so excited to experience this little one face to face, but in the meantime, we are content resting in Christ. One of my favorite Psalms echos often in my ears, "For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother's womb. I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well." Psalms 139:14-15

Can you believe it? A McNamee posting!

Sorry for our long delay in posting a blog entry...we've been a mixture of busy, lazy and enjoying the beautiful fall weather. Despite our absence, we've had a fun and exciting last few months. Here are a few shots from whats been happening in the McNamee sphere. More pictures will be coming soon!

gigantic sunflower

last year i began a tradition that i think i will continue for many years to come. i planted quite a few sunflower seeds, and one of them began to grow and grow and topped out at 6-7 ft tall. well this year, i planted around 40 more seeds from last year's flower. i put them in the side yard, near the front path and in our front yard bed near the street. most of these plantings were done in secret due to their location. (virginia and i usually disagree on planting locations, i tend to overplant prominent areas) well, this year we have 6 sunflowers throughout the yard, but one has stood above them all. much to virginia's dismay, this was the one i planted secretly on the front edge of our yard! :) i have to agree with her, it did look like we had a larger than life weed growing for 2 months. but as our sunflower reached full height at about 10-11 ft, and began to bloom, i was once again inspired. so keep watching for next year, i'll be shooting for a 15 ft sunflower!
