Sunday Visitors

This first picture says it all! We have a beautiful and sweet child. Can you tell her Mommy is quite smitten with her?



Mary Katherine had several visitors today. Her Grandpa and Grandma Detwiler stopped in for a visit (pictured above), her Uncle Randy and Cousin Abbi came by. Also, we saw Uncle Heath, Aunt Joyelle, Cousins Eli and Isabelle (pictured below with Mary Katherine).

Food was brought tonight by a fine family from our church. Our church has been awesome! I'm going to end up a fat boy if they don't stop! :) We are very grateful for their generosity.

Cute Cousins!

Here are two more of Mary Katherine's cousins! They are precious little girls who make us laugh and smile constantly. As you can tell by the pictures, these two are very close. The taller one (Isabelle) is about 9 months older than the other (Olivia).

We are down to just 11 weeks until the big day (of our due date). I guess she could come earlier or later. God will deliver her to us when it is the RIGHT time. My wife continues to do well. She feels good, she looks GREAT and is healthy. She enjoys feeling the baby kick and I enjoy seeing and feeling her kick! I won't let her lift anything (and she'll try if I'm not paying attention!).

We found a recliner for the nursery and were able to get it for about 1/2 of what we thought it would be! Thank you Jesus :)

Practice!

Had the pleasure of babysitting our niece who is 6 months old. She is just a beautiful, little angel. It was great practice for what is in our VERY NEAR future. She woke up a couple of times overnight and we're somewhat sleepy today! :) We learned how valuable the bassinet and crib are going to be for not only Mary Katherine, but for Mommy & Daddy! Enjoy the pictures of our sweet niece.

Award Winning Blog

As you can see on the right side of this post, we were honored with a "BEST BLOG OF THE DAY AWARD"....on July 17th, Bill and his gang over at Famous Blogs gave us that high praise and we appreciate it. We never realized when we started this thing that anyone other than friends and family would read it, much less award us for it. We are humbled by the attention.

Mary Katherine, Mom, Big Sister, and Dad are all doing well. We've settled back in to our normal day to day routine since our return from vacation. Mom's fire ant bites are looking a whole lot better...hard to believe that was 7 days ago!

We registered Mary Katherine's big sister for school last night. Can you believe it is that time once again? She's really looking forward to attending her new school. It is alot larger than her previous school, but she is thrilled about meeting new people and making some new friends. I believe she'll have a great influence on those at her new school.

We (my brother in-law) and I are putting up a new ceiling fan in the baby's room. May take a picture or two and post it! :)

Family Reunion Weekend!

We had a great time down in Holly Springs, Mississippi visiting with a bunch of my wife's family members. The weather was WARM, the food was great, and the conversation was wonderful.

We have some great pictures of my pregnant wife and I'll post those soon. Mary Katherine is kicking my wife from time to time. I put my hands on her stomach to feel it and then she stops! Oh well, maybe next time.

We realized this evening that our family vacation coming will be the last time it's just the three of us. The next time, we'll have FOUR!!
