It's a.....GIRLLLLLLLLLL!!!

It's a girl!! Our sweet little addition to our family is a baby girl. Brandon and I are so excited and feel so incredibly blessed.

We had our ultrasound yesterday, and our little girl was not very cooperative. She decided that she was comfortable sleeping all crunched up, rather than letting the technician see all her pretty parts. The technician and my docotor said that everything looks perfect, but they want me to come back in for another ultrasound so that they can see everything. Our baby girl is 10 ounces right now, not even the size of a soda can, and perfect as can be. Thank you Lord, so much for blessing our family with another sweet child. We ask for continued prayers for our little girl as she grows and develops as well as for our sweet kiddos as they adjust to having another sibling in the house.

A Day at the Lake and 19 weeks

Last Saturday, we drove out to Percy Priest Lake, it is about 30 miles east of Nasville. We had so much fun being togther as a family. There was a swimming area that Joshua had SO much fun in. It was very difficult to move around because of the rocky bottom, but he managed. I am always amazed at how adventuresome my shy boy can be. We had a snack picnic, played Hi-Ho-Cherrio, Hide-n-Seek, and threw the football around. It was so nice to get away from our world and just be together as a family. These are times that we will forever cherish.

Brandon was also able to take some pics of my ever growing belly, so I am attaching some pics of the our day at the lake and the baby at 19 weeks.

In other words...Brother's Under Christ or BYX...my sweet husband's faternity from the University of Texas. During the time that Brandon and I were dating, BYX played a major role in his life. Well, recently, in our Sunday School class Brandon met a fellow, current member of BYX at Vandy, who, a couple weeks ago asked him to talk about his experience at BYX as well as his walk in the Lord. This occurred last Monday. What a great experience it was for him..he is always talking about going back to activities like Island Party, meetings, etc. All of this to say, I wish that I could have been there to hear my baby speak, but I know that the Lord could have only shone through his the amazing testimony that God has blessed him with. I love you, sweetheart and I am so proud.

School Days

Another first day of school for Joshua has arrived. I can't believe that it is already here. Joshua is so excited to be back in school and I am counting down the hours to pick him up and hear all about it. We took some pictures this morning...my favorite is of Joshua and Aby...it shows how much they love each other.

Last night, Brandon was able to go with some friends to see the Titians play Green Bay. It attempts to support the local team we went out and bought matching hats for Joshua and his daddy. Joshua was so excited to be like his daddy...it was precious. Here are some pictures:

Joshua "A Self Portrait"

Due to the record setting heat here in Middle Tennessee, we have had to lock ourselves up inside for the past month. Those who have children know that this isn't always a great situation. You have to become creative. Well, our little four year old, Joshua, did just that. All on his own he created this image in which he called "Joshua" out of popsicle sticks. We were very impressed and thought we should share it with you.
