Fall Fun

Here are some pics from this past week....





Saturday night we loaded up the Expedition and took Daniel and Coralyn for their very first trick or treating along with baby Amelia and baby Isaac. After 2 houses (Mimi's & Ms. Theresa's) we decided to call it a day. (Yes, all of that work for 2 houses!)

On Saturday morning, we went to the Kaska Family Farm with some close friends from Fairfield, Uncle John & Aunt Sarah, and Coralyn (Daniel's buddy that we were watching for the day). We had lots of fun....but would probably not take three 2-year olds and two infants on a 6 acre corn maze again. Guess you learn! It really is a great place made especially for the little kids.

Wednesday was our church carnival. Daniel was his favorite super hero - LarryBoy. Isaac was a roaring dino! Aunt Sherri came and brought Kameryn and Kaylyn to have some fun, too!

Larryboy!

Farming with Paw-Paw

This past Sunday night Daniel finally got to go out to the field with Nanny and Paw-Paw. He loves driving the tractors and has been watching the corn fields grow since Spring waiting for Harvest time. Here are some pics!

God In My Skin

A few weeks ago Daniel overheard Paul and I talking about God. This is where the conversation went....Daniel said, "He lives in my skin." "Who lives in your skin?" we aksed. "God lives in my skin." "How come?" Daniel replied..."Because he made me!"

Well, today Daniel got a couple of his animals and put them on the couch to sing to. (He is already quite the musician!) We asked him what he was singing to them and he replied, "About God living in my skin!"

(Yes, that is his mic he is singing into....and yes, he taps his leg, just like Daddy.)

Hospital Pics

Isaac is here! He was born Wednesday, June 24th and weighed 7 lbs 11 oz and was 20 in long. We are all doing great....just a little sleepy! Thanks to everyone for your thoughts and prayers during this journey! Also, thanks for the calls and visits to the hospital (Sorry I wasn't able to have many visitors, the pain meds were giving me lots of headaches, spinning, and nausea, but we REALLY appreciate your calls and thoughts!)

We are all home and enjoying such a precious little blessing. Here are some pics from the hospital...

Remodeling Progress

For those of you following our remodeling project, here are some of the latest pics of the bathroom in the master bedroom. (Before: navy and white striped wallpaper with pink flowers and a walk in shower only.)

Daddy's Boy

Daniel and Paul have really become best buddies during my pregnancy. Most evenings, Paul is the one caring for him and playing with him. I think he deserves the "Greatest Dad" award these days. Last night, Paul was going to mow. Daniel decided it would be more fun to chase each other....Daniel on his gator and Paul on the mower. Once that excitement died down, then Daniel "helped" Paul cut tree limbs and haul them to the trailor.

Daniel helping haul limbs. Yes, he loaded them "all by hims-self" onto his gator.

By the end of the night, he had run his battery down, so Paul had to push him back to the porch. It was priceless!

Easter Pics

Easter was quite a busy day at Brazos Meadows and with family. Daniel enjoyed an egg hunt, and time with family and friends.

And last, checking out the Easter eggs.

Where's Isaac?

So I don't have any pictures for today...however I have some great ones I need to upload soon...but Daniel said the funniest thing the other day and I had to share.

He was looking at my belly and peeking intently into my belly button (If you know Daniel, he can be very serious at times!) He held up his arms in frustration and said, "Where's Isaac?" He just didn't understand why he couldn't see him in there!

Catching Up

OK, so I have been reminded I haven't posted in a while :-). Not too much going on around our house right now....just hoping to survive this pregnancy and enjoy some of it. Thanks to all the friends and family that have prayed for us so far. God is good and will see us through this. We've got about 14 weeks left till we meet Isaac.

Daniel has been such a trooper through everything. He has missed so much time with me, but has continued to be so sweet and compassionate. He often hugs me and says, "Feel better." His prayers have also been so sweet lately. He even prays for Isaac some nights....or for Mama's belly. OK, here are some recent pics. Enjoy!

Daniel's new gator dad found at Good Will. Yeah for Good Will!

It's a ......

BOY!!!!!!!!

Yesterday we had our 20 week ultrasound, and we will be having another boy! I will now be outnumbered, but we are excited. Above is a picture of his profile. Below are 4 other pictures from the ultrasound - yes, one is the proof we are having a boy! His name will be Isaac Dean. Daniel has no idea what is going to hit in about 4 1/2 months, but I'm sure he will be a great big brother!
