A new car

We are looking for a new car. We found a 2006 Ford Explorer Eddie Bauer Edition with 6 CD in dash, memory seating, leather/suede seats, sparkly cherry color, and third row seating(which is a must for us). We are going to the dealer tonight and see what we can work out. Kris works with a guy that retired from Ford and is giving us his discount, which is cool. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

One more

I forgot this picture. It was the day after the wedding. Everyone went to Allen and Chanda's house for a picnic and to watch them open gifts. Cameron, Christian and Rufus were trying to help.

The wedding party

6 weeks

This week our baby is about the size of a small lentil bean. Thier brain, muscles, and bones are beginning to take shape. Thier hands and feet resemble little paddles, with thick webbing still in place between thier developing fingers and toes. And thier tiny heart has begun beating. They are about to make thier very first movements even though I can't feel it.

This website is pretty neat. http://www.paulsadowski.com/birthday.asp It tells you all kind of info about when you were born. It's fun to see stuff like that.

My head hurts

I called my doctor today to see if I could take anything for my headache. Thank goodness I can. It wouldn't be so bad if my job was quiet but four and five year old children are not quiet.
Speaking of my students, one of my boys came up to my stomach and said he wanted to listen to the flea. I laughed and said What? He said your baby is as big as a flea and I want to listen to him. It was so cute. I am going to have to write that in my pregnancy journal that my mother in law got for me. Kris's sister Chanda has already bought the baby an outfit and socks, how funny. I have a feeling that I won't have to buy that many items between Sue, Chanda, and Marsha buying them and that's all right with me!!

I'm tired

I am tired. I read in one of my books that being pregnant is like hiking a mountain, that you are using that much energy. I am drinking so much water because I feel so thirsty. We have our first ultrasound scheduled for July 6th. I can't wait!!!

Great News!!!

We found out wonderful news this week. We are pregnant. We are four or four and a half weeks along. I am doing great, no morning sickness and keeping my fingers crossed. We should be due around late February. We will keep you posted!!

This is my prayer today

There is this girl, she doesn't know who she is, or is afraid to show people who she is. She is a chameleon, she changes herself around different groups like her family or friends. She shows the side of herself to who she thinks wants to see it. I think she is afraid to be judged although we have never said anything to her about her decisions. We have tried to show her love and support. She needs to separate from this person and stop using them as a crutch and they need to stop using her as a crutch. Pray for her to find herself and let everyone see it. Pray for her to find God. Let her stop running from her past. She works so much and so hard so she doesn't have to stop and think. Pray for peace.

The wedding

Allen and Chanda are offically married. They are in Cancun Mexico now. The wedding and reception went very well. It was simple but nice. It seems like everyone has a story about how thier wedding had a major upset or something that went wrong, but this one had none.

I was so proud of Kris. I have heard people say that they were so proud of thier children that they almost cried. That is how I felt on Saturday watching him perform the ceremony. The funniest thing was that he forgot to tell the audience to sit down. We finally sit down on our own but it was so funny because my grandma had told us a story about my grandfather forgetting to tell the congregation to sit, Kris even put it in the ceremony papers, but he still forgot. It was really cute.

It was a good weekend. It went by very quick. Our friends from Florida, Jim and Kristie came up for the wedding and brought thier three beautiful little girls, Emily, Serendity, and Maddie. They stayed with us and now I really want a little girl. You know how you are around some children and you leave and think maybe you don't want children right now. Well Kris and I left these three little ones wanting children. They were just so cute.
