Sadness

It is with great disappointment that I must tell you that Bobbie/we had a miscarriage. Bobbie had some bleeding and went to her doctor. They performed an ultrasound and discovered that the baby had passed at about 8.5 weeks. This would have been week 14. So, she had lost the baby prior to our first doctor appointment. We are both very upset, as is Christopher. I debated whether or not to post about this but as we have always been up front with all our children, I thought I would share this too. It is a sense of great loss and I find it hard to believe that some would do this intentionally. It makes us appreciate the family we have and our faith. Please keep us in your prayers as we grieve and begin to mend.

10 Week and Counting

Wow! We officially have a due date now, Sept 3. No heartbeat heard yet. The baby is sitting too far back on Bobbie just yet. Bobbie is further along than we had anticipated. Looks like this one is full of surprises. Bobbie feeling tired and a bit stressed. Noah's birthday and Beta Club convention is contributing heavenly to that. Next appointment will be in early March.

And Then There Were Three

Christmas just keeps on coming! On January 14th, we discovered that we have another baby on the way. Shawn had a sneaky suspicion on the 10th. As the week progressed daddy, who has lived through this twice before, became further convinced that something was definitely up and by Saturday, Bobbie went and bought a test confirming what daddy already knew. Holy Toledo...three!!!! We are shocked, mystified, and dazed. We are also very happy and welcome this blessing from God. We hope however that if God chooses to bless us with more, that he include additional revenue and sanity so we might recoup what we have lost!

Noahs One Year Old

Noah's one year old! These pics were from his party at daycare. Yummy cupcake!

Visit with Santa

Our boys got to visit with Santa for a little bit yesterday. Noah was impressed with Santa's beard and Christopher wanted a train for Christmas. So cute!

Trans Siberian Orchestra

Mommy and daddy got to go out to a concert. Shawn bought tickets to see the Trans Siberian Orchestra. We got the tickets in Little Rock so the boys could stay with Nana and Papa while we had an adult night out. It was a great show, a must see. I took some video on my phone but the sound quality of the recording is poor, sorry. Click the video link to see it.

Polar Express

Marion, a town next door had a Polar Express. We got to ride the train out of town where Santa hopped on, talked to all the kiddies, and gave them a candy cane. It was lots of fun and Chris loved riding the train.
