Another Little Peanut to Love!


We are so thrilled to announce that LP will become a big brother in May of 2010! I am currently about 14 weeks pregnant with baby #2. We are so excited and thrilled to have two little ones in the house. We were a bit surprised how quickly I became pregnant this time because of all the trouble we had to get LP. We are so thankful that we did not have to go through invitro again for so many reasons. We are thrilled beyond belief and can't wait to find out the sex as soon as possible.

There have been some people who have asked if we would prefer a girl or a boy. I don't think anyone ever truly answers that question honestly for fear of people thinking they are not grateful for having a healthy baby either way. Anyway, we honestly do not care either way with this baby. A boy would be so much fun as it would give LP a brother only 18 months apart. A girl would be a blessing so that we would get to experience being parents to both a daughter and a son. Either way, we are praying for a very healthy baby to join our family next year.

First Birthday Party!

We celebrated LP's birthday on Sunday, November 15 with family and friends. We had a wonderful time and LP is so blessed to have such a good group of friends and family who love him so much. Thanks to everyone who came to the party and to those who helped with food as well. It was such a great day!








Chuck E Cheese's

This post is WAY overdue. Things have been a bit crazy around here lately and I haven't found much time to blog. Anyway, LP turned 1 on November 11. We celebrated by taking him to Chuck E Cheese. We invited his cousins, his Aunts, and his grandmas. He enjoyed his time much more than we thought. Here are some pics of the highlights of the night!



Bloody lip from crazy rides:)

Favorite ride of the evening - a bucking horse!

Swinging in November

With such unseasonably warm weather lately, we have really enjoyed being outside. LP had his first picnic with mommy yesterday. It was a ton of fun until mommy went inside to get something and came out to LP enjoying a side of dirt for lunch:).

Today we went to the park and LP got to swing for the first time in a couple of months. He was giggling and smiling from ear to ear the entire time...until it was time to leave:). Hopefully this weather stays around for a couple more days...or weeks...or months!



Done swinging and NOT happy about it!


First Haircut

After months of being bald, LP finally has enough hair to warrant a haircut. So...we did what any parents would do for our son's first haircut...we took him to Jude's. I really thought it would be nice to go to see our neighbor or Ms. Jordan for his first haircut, but Brad insisted that the occasion be spent at Jude's with his daddy. Don't worry, they no longer give out Pabst Blue Ribbon, nor does the children's haircut include the straight razor treatment:).

LP was a little unsure about the situation at first. He warmed up after a few minutes and spent his time very curious about what was happening around him. The haircut turned out to be adorable and Mr. Man is starting to look so grown up!

(Sorry the pics are out of order. I have been fighting with this post and this is as good as it gets:))

Finished Product



Notice the Playboy poster...so classy. This may be the last haircut here until college:)!
