Praise the Lord...for He is good.

I am happy to report that we had a good report from the doctor. Our ultrasound looked great and Dr. Pankratz was able to see all that he needed to. PTL! He also was able to tell us that there was NOTHING between HER legs...it's a GIRL!!! Hailey is so excited to have a little sister and to share all her toys, or so she says. We are just so thrilled to know that God has taken care of this little one. Good is good.

"And he took the children in his arms, put his hands on them and blessed them"
Mk 10:16

Thanks to everyone for all your prayers over the past week!

20 Weeks and counting...



Well we have reached the half way point for the arrival of our third blessing! I was looking forward to posting that the ultrasound went great and that we were expecting a _______! BUT God had other plans for this past Tuesday. His plans and not mine!!! I guess He is still teaching me b/c I haven't fully grasped the concept!?!? So, no new news to report yet...stay tuned for next week! We will just continue to pray that God will hear our prayers and answer them in His timing.

Psalms 145:19 "He fulfills the desires of those who fear Him; He hears their cry and saves them."

Party at the YMCA






We celebrated with Austin's little friends at the YMCA just as we did for Hailey's birthday. The YMCA has become like our second home...Austin loves playing there! We once again had a pizza party and very "colorful" football cupcakes.

Austin is 2!!!






This past weekend we celebrated Austin's 2ND birthday. We had all the family come over for his favorite...pizza! We went back and forth as to what the theme should be Elmo, Thomas the train or Balls and the winner was balls!! The big gifts this year were Thomas the Trains!! It was a blast to see the excitement on his face, knowing it was his day. He was nice enough to let Hailey open but after that the gifts were "mine"!
At his 2 year check up the doctor was a little concerned about his vocabulary and suggested we see a speech therapist. I was hesitant and had told them to give us little time. Well over the weekend I think he added about 20 words to his vocab and is adding more everyday...who says something is wrong just b/c they choose not to talk!! Hmm, I think he may be just like his father...a thinker!
