Our Church

It's so wonderful going to a chuch that:

1.  I can't wait to go each week
2.  My husband and I leave with so much to share about our thoughts on the sermon
3.  I look forward to the next Sunday as soon as I leave.

I have never had that before.....

Pastor Jody is an amazing teacher.  As usual this week gave Ben and I a lot to think about.  If you have 25 min. or so to sit and listen...I recommend it.  You can watch it....listen to it....or download it.

This last week was titled:  Refuse to Excuse

Update:  It looks like right now watching it is the only option...they must add listen and download to it at a later time???

Boo at the Zoo 2010

Are you ready for some FOOTBALL???

She finally lost her first tooth!!!

Well, this is the first tooth that she lost the "right" way.

She attacked this task so differently than my first born.

My first born would go days with a tooth hanging out of her mouth and still wouldn't pull it.

This little barracuda worked on this tooth nonstop until she was able to yank it out.

It was so crazy to watch!

She was so excited to get it out!

Good bye first trimeter....

You are no friend of mine!

I was anxiously awaiting my appointment today.  It's been 5 weeks since I first heard the baby's heartbeat and I was needing some reassurance that this pregnancy is still moving along.  My body is definitely blossoming, but that has happened before and we ended with a DNC.  

My symptoms have gotten so much better in the last 2 weeks.  

It has been so great to feel like myself again instead of an overwhelmed, nauseous crazy person.  

But, that has also led me to feel paranoid.

So, today was the big day!

I left the doctor with a big smile on my face and even did a little happy dance in the elevator.

The baby sounded great.  I am measuring a little bigger than expected.  And...no more progesterone!

Whoo Hoo!!

I'm back

Our getaway was restful.  

I slept, and slept, and slept.

  Hubby had meetings for a day and a half.  

Some wives went shopping, some spent the day on the beach, and some went to the spa. 

I spent it in bed.  

I know...pathetic...but that is exactly what I was looking for.  

Here is the only picture I took on the whole trip.  

Breakfast in bed......one of my faves!

Touch a Truck

Years ago we moved away from farm life.......

This little guy would have LOVED it so much!
