IT IS A...

Did you really think I was going to be weak and give in to find out the gender when I said we weren't??? Well, I wasn't! Here is a picture of the baby, but sorry to all of you who can't wait... the baby's gender won't be announced until he or she arrives. We are keeping our names a secret, too. Just think about what a great Christmas present it will be to all of us! (And, no, we don't know either).

Narcoleptic Strikes Again

The narcoleptic has struck again! If you have read my blog very much, you know Abigail (when she misses her nap) has a habit of falling asleep just about anywhere. In past posts, I have put up pictures of her sleeping on the kitchen table and in the computer chair. Once again, when left alone with Daddy... she falls asleep in an odd place... the laundry basket! At least there was a pillow in it.

Word Up

Yes, you read the title right... Word Up! Now, for all of us who still can sing songs from the 90's, you are already singing, "raise your hands in the air like you don't care!" However, at my house, it is a marching band song originally played by Auburn's marching band and recreated by A.J.! For me to hum the tune, I am singing the words in my head. However, he has never heard the words, and instead has memorized the tune. Amazing to me.

While watching YouTube, he found a video of the AU marching band performing Word Up. Here is his version (and if you are wondering where he got the dance moves, the original version is on here, too). He does pretty good if you ask me!

Thomasville Vacation

We spent about 5 days in Thomasville last week for a hometown vacation. First, we spent one evening at Summer's house for Brennan's 7th birthday.
On Thursday, we spent the hottest day in the world at Wild Adventures (not fun for a pregnant woman). Here are some pictures from the morning in the amusement park side. Sorry... I didn't take any pictures in the water park.
Then, like years past, we enjoyed 4th of July fireworks in the Publix parking lot!

Auburn Marching Band

AJ, pretty much since birth, has loved marching bands. He often goes in the yard and becomes the band. He also sleeps at night listening to the Auburn marching band music. On this particular day, he was wanting me to record the band. There are a few things you must know before watching these videos:

1. My children dressed themselves this day.
2. I am not sure what Abigail is doing... maybe being one of the dancers on the field???
3. I did NOT teach A.J. the second song... nor do I normally permit the language in it!

Froglegs

This week, we have had the fun of having Nana and Papa visit all week. Papa has been working very hard to finish our new room (new pictures coming soon). Nana has been working very hard to keep up with A.J. and Abigail!

Today, we went to Froglegs with our friends, Anna and Josh. Here are some great pictures from the day.

Update on Allan and Abigail

Abigail recently had blood work done to have the level of her anti-seizure medicine checked. Everything was good. All of her tests have been great, so thank you for all the prayers.

Allan went back to the ENT yesterday. They don't think the hearing loss is permanent. Praise God! They said his break is a-typical (a word that seems to follow our family around) because it is more of a "dent" in the bone than a clear break. Although that means it is less severe, it also means there is no precedent for how to treat it. They also think he may have some infection in the ear and put him back on antibiotics. He goes back again in 2 weeks. Pray for healing and for wisdom for the doctors!
