From Newlyweds to Mama and Papa

OK, so our blog has basically fallen by the way side. Sorry about that - when things get busy, something has got to give. We'll try to give some good updates this month (I have a feeling we're going to have something to blog about).

We really have no idea when this little guy is going to decide to make his grand entrance into the world, but the official day is Tuesday. But before that happens (or perhaps at the same time), Monday will mark seven years of marriage for me and my beautiful bride. Wow, has it flown by! Seems like just yesterday that we tied the knot at that little country church and went for our honeymoon in the Smokey Mountains. I can remember so clearly driving away from the church, looking at each other and saying, "Did that really just happen?" When I looked at our wedding pictures today I thought, "wow that's weird, we look different somehow..." It took a few seconds to realize what it was (those readers who know how young and good looking we are might be surprised at this, but I think we have actually aged a little over these past seven years). How did that happen?! Will it stop?! I have this sinking feeling this is just the beginning...Oh well.


Actually it's mostly just me. Emily pretty much looks the same - or at least she looks the same as she would have if on our wedding day she had swallowed a basketball.


Here's my bride with her basketball:


And here she is doing a pregnant version of the La Vida Loca dance:

The final step is complete. We've mastered our ability to embarass our kids. We're now ready for parenthood.

i have been sick for quite some time now and have not been reading much.
I was just thinking you two might have a baby while you were over there, and the first info I read was about ENOCH!!
What a great name.
He walked with GOD and did not have to die to receive his reward.
Good luck, and I will read more and pray often.
Love,
Trudy
