Our Growing Family

Don't you see that children are GOD's best gift?
the fruit of the womb his generous legacy?
Like a warrior's fistful of arrows
are the children of a vigorous youth.
Oh, how blessed are you parents,
with your quivers full of children!
Your enemies don't stand a chance against you;
you'll sweep them right off your doorstep.
Psalm 127:3-5 (The Message)

Jami and I spent the morning in the doctor’s office today and confirmed some incredible news. She is 12 weeks pregnant. These are some of the sonogram pictures from today’s visit

Going on a Deer Hunt

Warning: Look away if you don't want to see any more dead deer pictures. I do know Rusty Cryer and others will appreciate these pictures:)

After all those years of coaching wrestling, Rick finally got to go deer hunting and was very successful. His very first deer and you are looking at a 10 point! As I look closer to these pictures I'm thinking I don't even think he smiled that big for our wedding pictures:) Looks like this deer will become a permanent member of our family as he is having it mounted.

Reading Buddies

If you stop by our house, you will more than likely be asked to crawl into her butterfly tent to read a few books:)

Striking a Pose

We have converted Juliana's bed into her toddler bed. We are going on a couple of weeks with several wake ups during the night and we have an early riser on our hands. She likes to start her day at 4 or 5 am. I'm guessing she didn't get the memo that her mom prefers 6 or 7 am:) She has always been a great sleeper so this has been a bit of a challenge lately.
