Happy 3nd Birthday Patrick!

Happy Birthday to Patrick. He woke up this morning and came down the stairs singing to himself. Happy Birthday to me.... Like he's special or something. I just laughed and laughed. Of course he is special to me. He had a family party this afternoon. After nap he and the other boys had birthday cake for snack and he opened his presents. Bob and Nonnie came over. We then went bowling on Patricks request. That's what he wanted to do for his birthday. And I'll have to say he's quite the bowler. Jaxon and Ellie joined us at bowling. Jaxon and John play on the same baseball team and Ellie and Patrick play together. We'll they do have to see a lot of each other during the week. Nana joined us when she got off work and we ate dinner at Olive Garden. I think he had a great day! I can't believe he's three. This is the picture he let me take last Wednesday to put in our local newspaper for his birthday. I couldn't believe how good it turned out.

The birthday boy!

Welcome

For those of you who did not know we are expecting our fourth and final child. Everything has been good and everyone in our home is very excited! John and Drew want another brother and Patrick says its his baby sister. I have felt well and like the other 3 pregnancy's its been great. Thank you God! Last week we had to make a trip to Atlanta to the Center of Perinatal Medicine for an ultrasound. Everything went well and they couldn't find anything wrong with our baby. The question... Do you want to know the sex? My response was NO and Chris' was YES. I told the ultrasound tech she could give it to Chris in an envelope once we left the office. We were there for other reasons. She scanned for 30 minutes and then the doctor came in and spoke to us for a while and he scanned too. He said everything looked great and the baby looked healthy. It was a very active baby. That was very exciting News. I was so glad to hear that. The sex was and is still my least concern for this child. Healthy was great news to hear. As we walked out of the office or should I say before we left the room, the doctor handed Chris and envelope and said here are you some pictures. He opened the envelope and with a great big grin from ear to ear. Said "It's A ???? He was so excited! Keep us in your prayers. A view of the hand and face area.

Below the cord is a Happy Little Girl! Pray for her as she continues to grow. And once she is here with us she'll need many more prayers when she has to come home to 3 older brothers.

Our due date is September 12, 2008. Yep. During football season. Chris has heard that a lot.

Rome Braves... Team of the Night!

Drew's baseball team was Team of the Night Friday night at the Rome Braves Game. That game was postponed so they played a double headder on Saturday night. Since all our games were cancelled due to the weather on Saturday we got to head out to the Rome Braves at 5:30. It started misting rain but by the time the first pitch was thrown out it stopped. But I will have to say it was COLD. Drew was very excited and had a good time. He ran out to third base with his friend Hank and was on the big Jumbo Tron.
