Look How I've Grown

After having Halley, I realized that I didn't have very many pictures of myself from my pregnancy. I'm doing much better this time. Here are some pics of my progress.


Not one of my faves, nevertheless, it is me.


My mom bought me that dress for about $10 at my favorite store in the whole wide world, MACY'S!


This is me about 5 days ago at 18 weeks. I got that shirt for $8 at JCPenney! The regular price was $36. I also got about 5 or 6 other shirts and a pair of capris for $3 each at the same sale! Now that's the way I like to shop.

Because Children Are A Blessing

I made this diaper cake for a lady at my church who is expecting her 2nd child. Her son is 10. I told a friend about this lady's story and she responded, "Well, why would she go and do that?" I replied, "Because children are a blessing from the Lord and the fruit of the womb is a reward." She said, "Oh, that's a good reason."
Sometimes, we just have to point people to the truth.

More Gardening Fun

My garden is growing like crazy. It is so amazing to me. I'm a city girl, so I've never seen anything grow before...until this summer. Take a look at what God has done.

We're Having...

A precious boy and a girl!!! What a blessing. We will have 2 girls (including our sweet Halley) and one boy ages 2 and under by Christmas, if the Lord wills! The ultrsound we had on July 21, was so exciting. The babies were moving around a lot. Our little girl had her legs crossed for awhile, so it took some time to figure out her sex. But alas, it was a girl. Eddie is very thankful to have atleast one boy to share the house with. I'm doing fine and steadily growing. Please continue to pray for ALL of us!

Works for ME!!!

Halley is such a servant. She loves to "help" me. Yes, it takes longer for me to get the task accomplished, but it's definetly worth it to see the joy that she recieves from helping. She likes to vacuum, dust, wash clothes, and carry stuff to their designated rooms. You would think she would be worn out by the time Eddie gets home. However, as soon as she hears the alarm chime from her dad walking in the door and she rushes to greet them. He carries her to the den and she begins to serve. She helps him take of his shirt, socks, and shoes. And then she carries all of it to his closet or lays it on the bed! She's the best free help we've ever had. Check out this cute video.
