Big News!!!

I had my ultrasound today and we are having another baby girl! I am just thrilled. I had prayed from the beginning that it would be a girl. Steve would have liked a boy, but he is happy as can be! Here is the best news: The baby looked very healthy from what they could tell. I have prayed each day that the baby would be healthy. I am praising the Lord for this! I have loved having Emily and I love all her cute little clothes and girly toys and bows. I am glad we can use the stuff again. All we need now is diapers and wipes. The Lord has been so good to us. We are blessed!
Right now, I think we are naming her Sara Kate.

Congratulations on having another girl! Thank you so much for your comment of waiting and blessings!!! Tell me about elem. art! did you like all the different age groups or did that make it hard for planning and setting up supplies. I would love to maybe try elem sometimes only because high school is so much discipline! What are your thoughts?
Little Emily is so beautiful!!!

Hi! I found your blog from Kelly's! I hope you don't mind me stopping by. I have a 5 year old little boy and a little girl who will be 2 in March! Her name is Ella, but Ethan wanted us to name her Emily! Ella had the same Christmas dress as your little girl does in the pic! I love her new little kitchen. I have been looking at the same one on the Target website trying to decide about it for her bday. Does she like it? Feel free to visit my blog as well if you would like:

Hey! Thanks for the comment back and for letting me know about the kitchen. It looks really cute!
I love the name Sara Kate! It is precious. Ella's middle name is Catherine so we call her Ella Cate. Girls are just too fun, but I've found WAY different than boys.

Something Good to Eat

Ever since Steve and I started dating, when we would go to Mississippi, his aunt would make the BEST ROAST IN THE WORLD!!!!!!!!!!! Steve's Dad's side of the family gets together at his Granny's house for lunch every Sunday after church. The food is always sooo good!!!!!!!!!!!! I have always taken a liking to his Aunt Judy's roast. It really is the best roast I have ever had. When we were there on Labor Day weekend, my sister in law asked Aunt Judy for the recipe. Aunt Judy began naming all the ingredients. She said Ranch Dressing mix, and I bugged my eyes out and nearly chocked. I HATE RANCH DRESSING. I don't even like to be in the room with it. I had to focus on the word MIX....not the mayo and butter milk and sour cream that you add to it. Just typing those words makes me shudder. The recipe sounded awful as she rattled off the ingredients, but I promise, you have got to make this if you like a good roast. Trust me on this. Here it is: Get a tender chuck

Complicated

Maybe I am wrong, but I don't remember life being so complicated when I was in middle school. Everything is so competitive now.  Maybe it was back then and I just didn't realize it. Sarah Kate started playing city league softball a couple of weeks ago.   We've been encouraged to get her private batting lessons. When I was in third grade I started playing softball and I just did it for fun!  No stress at all, as far as I can remember!  I just played.  I wasn't very good, but I liked it! Ha! Emily started band this year!  Before school started, I got a letter from the school district strongly encouraging "your band student to take instrument lessons."  WHAT?  I bought into it and got Emily private clarinet lessons (which she really enjoys)! But, what happened to learning as you go?  I never thought about taking private trumpet lessons when I started band. It seems like most parents are striving for their child to be THE BEST.  I guess that's a go

Life in Pictures!

Emily is enjoying her first year in band.  I am very impressed with her playing skill! Sarah Kate was recently awarded the empathy award at her school.  She is very deserving of this! Here we are before the Cotillion Holly Ball.
