It's A BOY!

Well, as you can see from my 20 week ultrasound pictures, there is no doubt that this lil' one is all BOY. Ben and Caroline were present at the appointment, and we are all thrilled with the news. With all that said, I haven't a clue what we're going to do with a little boy...but I'm sure we'll figure it out! We are working on a name, so we'll update you on that as soon as we have finalized our selection.

Two Tiny Feet (actually they look big to me)

The Proud Bun Maker and His Masterpiece!

Ben and I attended a couples Sunday School Party on Oct 25th. I had a great time making our costumes (total spent $12). I used one of our moving boxes (which I need to get rid of anyway) and made an oven for me. I then bought an apron and ironed on it, "The Bun Maker" for Ben to wear along w/ a chef's hat. Saturday night was very cool so I was thankful I had my oven to keep me warm! We enjoyed an adult night out, fun w/ friends, s'mores, a LONG hayride (yes, we went on a hayride that drove us on some pretty major Gwinnett Co roads -- we thought we'd never return home), and seeing everyone all dressed up. We are hoping this will become an annual event.

Inaugural Blog

Okay, so after reading tons of blogs and realizing that no matter how hard I try to find a website that my work will not block, I am finally ready to throw in the towel and become an official "blogger." Our previous website through aboutmybaby.com charged a minimal annual fee but it was worth it to have it not considered a blog (meaning work would not block it). Recently my disguised blog was discovered due to the number of hits it was receiving so now it has officially been BLOCKED!! Needless to say, I am ready for a free option since the only purpose in paying the fee was to avoid being blocked from private networks. Since this benefit has been eliminated, I have decided the ease of our old site is not worth the fee and FREE is always the best way to go. I also assume that as we enter year #2 with Caroline, I will be able to highlight her life and I won't feel the need to post 50 gazillion pictures at one time--guess we shall see!
