"Where Saints are Sinners"

Well, the time is here! Nathan's band, Making Malorie, has finished their album are it is on PRE-sale. Which means, place your order now and you will be the first to receive it when it is released. It's very exciting and I am so proud! The CD's are $10. Also, you can go to their new website, http://www.makingmalorie.com/, and preview a song. It's just a demo today, but later this week a completed song will be posted.

In other family news, next week we go back to the doctor for another ultrasound. So, October 6th is the date and I'm very anxious. I just want a healthy baby, no matter the gender.

I love fall and am glad that is is here. I love the leaves changing, the cooling weather, and am ready for our trip to the pumpkin patch. Noah has changed and grown so much in the past year (see last year's picture), I can't believe it. He's going to love it and I'll probably have just as much fun as him.

He doesn't know it, but it's been a big week for him. Sunday we bought his new big boy bed. But shhhh don't tell him. It's for Christmas. He's getting a race car bed. As a big brother, he needs to be a big boy! I can't wait to see his eyes light up! He also got his first motorcycle. He's already had one accident, but it didn't deter him. Here's a picture!

Have a great rest of the week. Let me know if you want an album!

St. George Island

Nathan, Noah, and I went on our first "real" family vacation last week. We went to St. George Island, Florida and had the BEST time! Our friends Seth and Michelle rented a house for the month and we were invited to come rent a room and vacation with them for a week. Their little boy, Fisher, is just 6 months older than Noah, and those 2 little boys were 2 peas in a pod! We were definitely on vacation and did nothing but relax and enjoy the island. We cooked together, went to the beach, went fishing out our back door on the dock, and sat on the screened in porch. Our friends Susan, Matt, and Karlene were also there and it was such a blessing. Nathan and I haven't stopped talking about it and we are already trying to plan next year! The weather was perfect and the island was practically empty because it was September. We only ate out once, and it was to a very very nice restaurant where Nathan and I enjoyed the finest quality food. We were drooling over it and asking for more. I was able to get some much needed rest and am feeling pretty good these days. I am 17 weeks and already feeling huge. It's way too early for that! #2 is going strong in there and we are anxious to find out gender. 2 more weeks and we should know as long as hide and seek is not his/her favorite game!

Nathan goes back into the studio this week to finalize some things with the album and then we should be able to start pre-selling this thing. We are excited and anxious to get the ball rolling.

Check out our web album. We have hundreds of new pictures. You'd think I do nothing else, but take pictures of Noah. I promise I do other things. I do have a job selling houses!
