Truman

Here is a picture of my grandfather - Truman Jessie Cloud - our little Truman's namesake. I just thought the world of him. This was a picture of him later in his life. After my grandmother had passed away. He loved this orange tabby cat. But this is how I remember him most.

A week in pictures

Just a few snap shots from the past week. 2008 has started out wonderfully.

Weigh In

Tru had a weight check at the Doctor today - He is holding steady at 5lbs 5ozs. We would like to see him gain a little quicker, but he seems to be following the same path as his big brothers!

He is here!

Looking for Diesel



On saturday Ward took the boys to ride the train. I have blogged about his friend Vince before who is a train engineer. Gage and I rode with him last year and had a fabulous time. I was so excited for Ward and Davis to experiece it as well. It is so much fun to ride the train - but it is truly a special experience to get to drive the train. Baby Tru and I stayed home to nap a little, celebrate his 1 week birthday and wait for Will to arrive from Nashville.

Ho Ho Ho & Tru Comes Home

Checking out cookie crumbs and carrots left overs


What a wonderful Christmas. The boys woke up to see the goods left by Santa around 7am. The big hit of course was Davis' drum set (yes we are insane) and Gage's guitar. They are forming a garage band and tickets to the first performance will go on sale early next year. Tru will play bass guitar but until then they are looking for a keyboardist.

Later in the morning after Tru passed his car seat test we were able to bring the best Christmas gift home. He slept the entire way home. Davis can not get enough of him. I was s little worried about Davis but he has become Tru's protector.

Aunt Tina and Uncle Scott along with Taylor met us at home with a wonderful Christmas dinner. We had a fabulous time sharing our first few hours at home with the Callicutt's. Tru slept thru the entire meal and while davis preformed a drum solo.

What a wonderful Christmas. Len, Christine and Will are heading our way this weekend. We can not wait to see Will and how much he has grown.

Completely Adcock

Merry Christmas. Tru is coming home today! We are so excited. Here is a picture from yesterday, our first family picture. Tru was able to come to my room for a little while to meet his brothers. I have an overwhelming sense that our family is complete. Thanks to Anne-Bee for a wonderful family shot.

Little One

Our little one is doing well, hopefully he will join us at home tomorrow, what a Christmas Blessing that will be. Sleep tight all you little elves.

A Blessing Comes Early

Truman Evans Adcock made his entrance into this world Saturday morning December 22, 2007 at 9:10 am via c-section (my first and last section!!!). "Tru" as he will be called weighed 5pounds 13 ounces at birth and is 18 3/4 inches long. He like his brothers before him has a head full of rich dark brown hair. He arrived to meet us 5 weeks early and with a few screams! What is in a name? Truman Cloud was my maternal grandfather. He was adorable, as sweet as can be (with a feisty streak of course) But most of all he was one of my most favorite people ever. Evans Cloud was one of my mother's great uncles. He was number 10 of 12 siblings, so I have to assume he had an adaptable personality.

Tru is doing well, he is in the NICU where he is getting a little assistance with his breathing. He is a sweet as he can be, with a feisty streak as well, go figure, let's home he is also adaptable! Gage and Davis are ready to meet their new brother and we are hoping that this will happen later in the week. Davis ask each time we talk to him on the phone if "baby brother is out of his room yet". He just cries when we tell him not yet. He is ready to be a big brother ---"like Gage" he says.
