IT'S A....

Well, we found out this morning that we are going to be welcoming a healthy baby GIRL in August!!! We are so excited! Brady is going to have a little sister!
We've decided on the name Addison Leigh O'Quinn!! We'll keep you updated on any baby news and I'll try to do better at posting on my blog!!! Love to you all!

Christmas 2008

I can't believe how long it's been since I've posted anything. So, the next few posts are going to be catching everyone up through pictures. Brady got lots of wonderful gifts for Christmas. He got a set of puzzles, which he loves to dump out into the floor. He also got a Bounce and Spin pony. He's not quite into using it to learn with, but he does like to get on and ride the horsey. He also got an inflatable bus ball pit. He has learned that he can flip it over on it's side while he's inside and thinks it is so funny when he does. His favorite gift, which we will someday pay Uncle Lee and Uncle Chris back for, is Elmo Live. This is an Elmo doll that talks, sings, and dances. He could play with this all day if we'd let him, but for those of you who have heard Elmo's voice, know that listening to Elmo all day would drive any adult in his/her right mind insane!!!!

Baby #2 is on the way!!!

Just thought we'd share the news with all of our friends and family--Brady is going to be a BIG BROTHER in August!!! Yes...Baby #2 is on the way. We went to the doctor yesterday. Everything looked great! Our due date is August 5th, 2009. We are unbelievably excited and a little bit nervous about having 2 small children!! Life is really going to change and get busier for us now!!! Hope everyone has a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!!

Halloween 2008

As you can see Brady was Cookie Monster for Halloween. He actually loved his costume, which kept him very warm on the cool Halloween night. Jill, Michael, Ben, and Hannah came from Midway to go trick or treating with us. We all had a blast. Brady even got to carry his very on pumpkin!! Chris was in Effingham County at a football game and we missed him very much, but we had a ball without him. Our friend Dane came over and cooked hotdogs for all the adults, with the help of Michael, which we were all very greatful for!!! We got to see some very interesting costumes and some that weren't so interesting (or should I say...appropriate!!) We can't wait for next year.

PumpkinParty 10/26/2008

We went to the Kennedy's Annual Pumpkin Party and hung out with all of our friends. We all got to carve pumpkins, which Brady wasn't too sure about! He did stick his hand inside the pumpkin once or twice while Chris was cleaning out the "guts." He enjoyed handing us the tools needed to carve the pumpkin. But, his most favorite part of the day was riding the Georgia Bulldog that sits on their back porch. He also loved eating a sugar cookie with orange icing, which he managed to get all over him!! All in all, it was a wonderful day of food and fellowship with our friends!!!

Pumpkin Patch

Chris, Brady, and I went to the local pumpkin patch to pick out a pumpkin for the pumkpin party that we were invited to. Brady liked the pumpkins, however, didn't like to on the ground because he didn't have any shoes on. (He doesn't like to get his feet dirty!) We looked around for a while, took some pictures, and then settled on a pumpkin that we thought would be a great one to carve. We are looking forward to the pumpkin party tomorrow.

We took Brady this morning to the photographer to get his picture made in his halloween costume...cookie monster. I think they are going to be great. Once we get the picture back, if Tracy (our wonderful photographer) will let me, I'll post that picture on here for you all to see and enjoy!

Family Reunion

Sorry it has taken me so long to update, but we've been very busy!! I started my new job a few weeks ago and absolutely love it!! This is definitely where God wants me to be! I feel like a normal person on a normal schedule! Brady is still in daycare which he loves, except for the fact that one child still loves the way he tastes. Brady has been bitten 6 times in a month. What to do? Everyone keeps telling me to teach him how to bite back, but I don't want him to be the one getting in trouble!! He's been the "good" kid so far! Chris is still teaching and is talking on the radio on Friday nights for Glynn Academy football! He absolutely loves doing this!

We went to my family reunion yesterday in Cochran, GA and had a blast! I really couldn't believe how much everyone has seemed to change in the last year! I was wonderful to see all of our family and get updates on everyone. I took my camera with the intention of taking pictures of everyone, but I left it in the car. However I did manage to take pictures of Brady, Hannah Grace, and Ben on our trip to take Ben and Hannah back to Jill and Michael. We watched a couple of movies on the way home. Brady got tired of not being able to hear the movie so Hannah Grace shared her headphones with him! He had a ball playing with them.

I've also included one of my very favorite picture of Brady thus far! Hope you all enjoy these pictures. Once my mom sends the pictures from our reunion to me, I'll get them posted on here.
