Best Friends...

...are what make the world a great place. I really like this one of mine in particular...and I don't even hate her for looking better in a bikini six-months pregnant than I ever have or will. Love you, EJoy!

Evangelism at its finest...

Today I saw a church sign that said "Jesus is the boss of you." Really? That's the best evangelical marketing tactic you could come up with? Usually this same church has things like "Do you know Jesus? If not, get ready to spend eternity in hell." or something really encouraging like "Jesus won't help you if you don't repent." Gag me. Maybe I've put way too much stock in the whole concept of grace but last I checked, God's love wasn't contingent on anything. But, hey, what do I know? What with my master's degree in Religion and all that.

A pumpkin for Halloween...

We're having a baby! As many of you know, after suffering a miscarriage it can be nerve-racking to get pregnant again and worry even more that something is going to go haywire! We've somehow managed to hold out on our big news for the last 12 weeks but with a second healthy ultrasound this afternoon, we (the "me" part of we) have decided it's time to break the news! We're thrilled, of course, still a little scared but excited to have another little munchkin to keep us on our toes. But seriously, I'm due on Halloween...kinda creepy if you ask me! :)

Theology...

Today a friend of mine told me about someone that she knew who had just gotten home from a two-week-long mission trip. This was the lesson she brought back with her:

"One thing I learned on this mission trip is that pissing contests can get real messy."

There. You. Have. It.

As promised...

Okay, so this is EVERY day (like 3 times a day because he can't get around if we don't clean it up during every nap)...not just a once in a while thing...God love him! :)

Mischief!

Can't you tell by the gleam in his eye how mischievious he is?? Everyone at our house has been sick this week and the poor little man just doesn't feel good but (for those of you who don't know Bailey very well) he's not the type to just snuggle and hang out when he's sick. He gets even more off the hook. It's like he doesn't know what to do so he just does the usual only louder and more destructively. Tomorrow I'll post a picture of what the house looks like about 2 hours after Bailey wakes up in the morning. In the meantime...

My First Happy Meal

OH! My little punkin' is growing up so quickly! Last night he had his first Happy Meal...okay, mostly he had ketchup but he had a few fries and a couple of chicken nuggets and he ate lots of ketchup and wore lots of ketchup! Here's a picture and a couple short videos with the camera phone that only records for 15 seconds and 15 seconds just isn't long enough to capture all that cute.
