Wow!  We have been so busy the last few days.  We did get to come home Thanksgiving night and we celebrated Thanksgiving the next day.  And by we, I mean our moms made dinner while the boys watched TV and I propped my feet up in bed with little bit.  Just like last time, I [...]

 1 Thesselonians 5:18
In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.
What a wonderful verse for us to be reminded of today!  Give thanks in everything…not when things are only going great but sometimes when they’re not so great too.  Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!  Although we are a little [...]

UPDATE 9:00pm:
Just a quick update.  We will be posing pictures later tonight, but I thought I’d go ahead and post some stats!
IT’S A …………………..

BOY!
And Heaven help me he weighs almost 11 pounds…yes, you heard me…11 pounds.  He is 10 pounds 14 ounces and 22 1/4 inches long.  Wow.
I’m super tired, exhausted, and hurting.  I pray [...]

Last week we had some really icky, dark weather, so when the sun come out on Thursday we headed out to get some sunshine!  John Michael, Grams, and myself went to an outside mall to play in the outdoor playplace!
It was still a little chilly, so John Michael had his little trapper hat on to [...]

So John Michael finally got his first official “big boy” haircut.  I’m too hormonal right now to get the big haircut that chops off all those curls, so we went in for a mini trim!  He did GREAT!  As long as he had his sucker he was fine!
He shocked us by sitting in his own [...]

I am so tired this morning I can hardly stand it.  Luckily, JM has his Gran and Gamps here to play with him so I don’t feel like too terrible of a mom today.  I slept really well from about 6:30 am to 7:45am, at which time when I went to get out of bed [...]

I knew it was bound to happen….
Every parent has this first time that they must do this for their child….an initiation into the club of annoying kid places that you have to go to!
What am I talking about?  It’s Chuck E. Cheese!!!  It was interesting, to say the least.  It crossed my mind that it [...]

HAPPY

FALL

Y’ALL

FROM

OUR FAMILY

TO YOURS

We semi-celebrated John Michael’s 18 month birthday on Sunday.  We don’t celebrate every month, but this was a kind of big one!  We are half-way on our way to being two years old.  How does time go by so quickly?  I don’t think I’ll ever figure that one out.
We let John Michael eat a cupcake [...]

So, are we ready?
This is the question I keep asking myself as we finish up these last few weeks of this pregnancy. Take away the whole “I’d rather die than have another natural birth” issue and I’m pretty excited.  Theoretically, we’re about 85% done with the nursery.  I STILL have my stupid to-do list that [...]
