Ready for two!

We went to the doctor today to see how little Ben is doing in utero - and he's head-down! Yay! We're packing our bags and finishing up Jay's new room this week in preparation for Ben's arrival.

I am super-pregnant (this picture is from March 27!) and ready to end this pregnancy... although I did have a "freak-out moment" with Shamus, during which I showed him a newborn diaper and a newborn onesie and said through tears and a smile, "Can you believe how tiny he's going to be?" while Shamus laid the onesie on my belly "to make sure it would fit Ben". "Are we ready?" I asked. Silly question - as if God would a) wait until we're ready or b)give us something we're truly not ready for... so we're as ready as we're going to be!

The due date is April 30th, and it's plus/minus 2 weeks... so April 16th - May 14th is the range. April 16th is THIS FRIDAY!!! We're almost in range! Watch out, world - here comes Ben!

So we got about 3 inches here in Lyman and we made it outside twice to enjoy it. The first trip was mainly sledding (and wiping snow off of Jay's face... we really need a windshield) and the second was for making snowmen.

No one was injured in the making or uploading of these films.






I keep getting errors when I try to load more videos so this'll have to last until next years snow. Let's keep the tradition going!

Working at Night means Jay time during the Day

So I'm working a split shift for 2 weeks but that means that Mondays will be only Jay and I in the house. Today we didn't get into too much trouble (at least I'm not going to write to the world about it).

He can finally use the Fropper:




And he's ok at the truck:




Enjoy... when the 2nd baby comes I don't think anyone will have to update this thing.

Jay's Favorite Snack

Jay LOVES bananas. Just watch him eat it.

Clemson Game

Jay went to his first Clemson game today! We played Virginia and we won!! Here are some pictures and videos from the experience.

Here's the fam at the tailgate!

Clemson Cheer!



Later in the game.... Clemson scores!! Again!!


Jay sleeps! In his tiger costume, of course.

Walking... ok ok, Stepping

We can get a good 3 or 4 before he face plants! (He's ready for college!)






Just keeping everyone updated.

Is it really a blog if it's only pictures?

Well I guess this is an official "update" but it's just pictures again. July 4th weekend and we were in Clemson, SC with Karen's brother and some friends. Swimming, hiking, cooking out, watching fireworks = very nice weekend. Enjoy.

Blahlum blahlum blahlum was the "new trick" for the day.


Smiling all weekend, serioiusly, all weekend.

"So we hiked to a waterfall... and?" - Jay, he really said that right after this photo.

"I'm baby Jay Monster! ROAR!!!!"
