Baylor's First Belt Color

We forced Baylor to take karate and stick with it. Yes, yes we did.  He hated it, of course, but after about 5 months, he's warming up.  We felt like he needed the confidence boost.  He had his first belt test and moved to yellow belt.  He did really well, and hopefully will stick with it. We're proud parents!

30 Weeks and Counting....

Baby girl has a painted room. Yes, this is a big accomplishment.  She also now has a bed and a dresser because I finally painted a cute new dresser for Adeline.  Still no name, still working on curtains, and still working on rounding up clothes for her.  I wish this pregnancy could last just a little bit longer. Lord, it has had its trials.  There were terrible varicose veins,  time in the hospital for blood clots in my leg, taking daily shots to thin blood, and I failed my 1 hour pregnancy diabetes test!  Even with all that, it's a healthy baby & would take pregnancy for just a few more months.  I feel like it got cut short with all the testing and waiting in the beginning.

1st Day Back at School 2013

First day of Intermediate School!!! Adam was the most nervous of all of us, I think, but it was a successful day. Adeline, of course, went back to daycare like a pro - no tears.
