Announcing your pregnancy
You have to be prepared for all kinds of reactions when you announce your pregnancy. Some of our favorites:
• "Why?"
• "How did this happen?"
• "Uh-oh!"
• "You know what causes this, don't you?"


How to have morning sickness in public
• Pretend you're looking for something deep inside your purse – then snap it shut and discard.
• "Want to see my impression of Old Faithful?"
• "I'm sorry about your shoes."
• "Maybe next time don't eat your Pad Thai so close to me, okay?"

"Bug Bites"???

Darren has gotten these "bites" since we've been visiting family in Eastman. Nobody else in either household has gotten any. Anybody got any idea what it might be? Fleas?

Baby #3 on the way

Yep! I'm pregnant with our 3rd child. It's still surreal. I'm only about 6 weeks along, so I'm still nervous about the pregnancy. I'm trying to remember that God is in control, and He takes care of everything (especially those things that are out of my hands). My first doctor's appointment is September 13th. It seems like forever away. Please pray for us as we make this transition. Thanks!

Potty Training Success

I believe we can say that Darren is successfully potty trained. He is no longer wearing diapers or pull-ups. He has completely used the potty alone without any prompting since Friday morning. That includes Friday night! We had our first "dry" night! WooHoo! And to make it all even more successful, we've been at my parent's house since Thursday afternoon, and no accidents. He's been a trooper and done great! My little boy's growing up!

Potty Time

It's almost potty training time! I can't believe how time flies. Darren will be 2 1/2 years old in 2 months, and i'm trying to come up with a plan on how we will go about potty training him. He seems very interested in the process. He tells us when he's pooped (or about to) and pee'd. So I'm asking for advice from my fellow mom's (and dad's) out there. How did you potty train your children?

Fun with Friends

While Tony's out of town, the kids & I went to Eastman for the week. We got to spend one evening with some good friends. Here's a picture of Darren & Landen with Katelyn, Kenzie, & Dawson Spires.
