Jello...?Jello....? Can anyone hear me?

The Saints go Marching on for their first Super Bowl Victory in forever (or maybe even ever). We watched the uneventful game with Grammy and Pops in Georgetown. Josh was fairly upset his team lost, feeling the Saints played dirty. I on the other hand, could care only remotely. I just feel that this is the moral that NOLA needs to remind their children that no matter what happens, God can make the outcome better.

Lily is enjoying the time with Grammy and Poppy, baking a delish cream cheeze pound cake, helping wash the dishes and now making Jello Playdough. I just hope she doesn't try and eat any of it, but at least we know what it's made of if she does.

Only 2.5 months to go

Time is really flying by in the Chloe Countdown!

In just under 2.5 months we will be welcoming our newest addition to the family! We are still getting together the things to get the girls in their room. We are still gathering cloth diapers, a dresser and reorganizing their closet to fit all the clothes and toys they have.

We still need to rearrange our room to accommodate the cradle and possibly a changing table for the first 6 months or so. That will give me an excuse to get a new computer desk, since ours is huge!

Yeah that's me- I am a Fortunate Son!!!

2009 was ok, but 2010 is destined for greatness. We have so much to give and do and try and see this next year. We have plans and God has better plans.

We broke in the New Year at the Victory Outreach Austin TX Motown & Oldies Review Show.

Corey was John Fogerty and sang a remix of "Fortunate Son". He did so great and the church had never really heard him sing before so they were amazed and went nuts when he started. The entire night was fun and entertaining and a great way to ring in the the New Year. We even had Evangelist Fernando there, who is always a treat and a blessing to us.

Lily and I spent the 1st day of the year with Grandma and Grandpa and we ate the customary black-eyed peas, along with stuffing from Thanksgiving and sweet potatoes. We cooked the chicken, the whole chicken in the Microwave in about 40 minutes. Grandma was trying out a new Pampered Chef stoneware set and was told the directions, so we gave it a try and decided we would blame the direction giver (Aunt Nancy) if nothing came out right. We stuffed it with an onion and some celery and fresh Rosemary from the yard. That was one of the best chickens I have ever tasted and it came out so quick! So, we learned something new in the New Year!

100 thing challenge

We are going to participate in the 100 thing challenge and see how it will help us get rid of things we don't really need.

I thought it meant throw/give away 100 things but really it is getting rid of all BUT 100 things-personal items only, shared items like linens, dishes, furniture etc do not count.
We will update the list as we start it.

It's a ...

GIRL!

Chloe will be here in late April 2010

Lily is excited about sharing a room with her little sister and she will be the best big sister ever.

Here is our side view of Chloe. I had to flip the picture because she was head down.

Here is Lily test driving the double stroller.

She can ride in the front or the back if she wants.

And here am I so far.

I look much bigger after

eating anything :)

What a great Fall!

We had a great time at Susie and Dwight's church pumpkin patch taking pictures with Lily. A cold front had just blown in so it actually felt like autumn. She got all dressed up as a butterfly for Halloween and we celebrated a fall fun fest at church, complete with a "Krunk your Trunk" trick or treating. We even decorated our trunk. Our bible study came together to set up a balloon bust booth. The kids had a great time tossing the darts at the tiny balloons. Some of those kids are a pretty good aim!

Lily was so sugared out at the end I can't believe she went to sleep at all.
