Sean's Room

We did not do much to the nursery since Becca was in it. I did decide to get a new bedding set and change up the decorations that were on the shelves. We really like it and are now just awaiting the "Big Day". Which if I make it to the scheduled day Sean will be born sometime before 8am on Wednesday August 4th. We have just about gotten everything ready for his arrival. We do still need to figure out what we want his middle name to be. We both really like the name Sean and I REALLY liked it when we found out that it is Irish for John. So we will kind of have a JR, but they will not have the same middle name (a little too confusing we think since the names would sound too much alike). Becca is getting excited, but I don't think she fully understands (or wants to accept) that he will be living in our house and that her Mommy and Daddy will be his Mommy and Daddy too. We'll just have to see how she does once he's here. Luckily she already likes to "Help".

Baby Shower

Our friends from church gave us a baby shower a few weeks ago and here are the pictures from it. Thank you to everyone!!!!

Picnic

One day we decided to go pick up Daddy from work and go over to the park down town and have a picnic. While we were there we also tried to feed the ducks, but they were not too interested in the bread. However the fish were.

Camping with Daddy

Becca and Daddy went "camping" one Friday night in about a month ago. She had SOOOOO much fun. She was asking to go to bed as soon as we put the tent up (in our office) at about 6pm. So they played in and around the tent until dinner and up until bed time. I moved her sound machine close to the tent for them to listen to the crickets. They also had fun playing with the flashlights. Surprisingly she did very well and slept all night in the tent. But then the next day when we took the tent down she was very upset with us. I think she and Daddy will have to do that again, maybe when it cools down they may try camping in the backyard.

Easter 2009

Again these pictures are not in order, sorry. But here are the pictures we took Easter morning and then after church when we let her hunt Easter eggs. She had so much fun!!!!

March 2009

In March I had to get my live continuing education so that I can renew my license later this year so I went to Memphis for the week and Mimi and Poppa took care of Becca while I set for 15 hours of CE. That same week my grandfather turned 90 so we all came to Memphis to celebrate with him (as we were unsure how much longer he would be with us). It is too hard to look at the pictures from that party as that was the last time I saw my Pawpaw alive so there are no pictures of that here. Sorry in advanced for the pics not being in order this is my first time using photobucket so I'm still learning. There are a few pictures of Becca with Poppa's "Big Green Tractor", a picture of Becca up (way past her bedtime) waiting on Daddy to get to Mimi and Poppa's house, and Becca playing on the playground after church Sunday evening before we headed back home. Enjoy!!!

Church Pictures

In February we started working on a new church pictorial directory. Here are a few samples of the pictures that were taken.

Potty Training

With the coming of Baby Sean and Becca being ready and willing at least most of the time to go on the "potty" we decided to attempt potty training. I was told about the "3-Day" method by a friend and decided to give it a try. So the second week in February we started working on it. She did great!!! To reward her for doing so well we decided on Saturday (day4) that we would take her to Atlanta Bread Company to get breakfast and then to the book store to pick out a new book. She did GREAT the whole time we were out and didn't even have an accident! She's getting to be such a BIG GIRL!!

Computers

Becca has always watched us "play" on the computer so she wanted to try. When she's at Daddy's office she loves to "play letters" which consists of just holding down keys and watching them go across the screen. So Daddy decided to find a pain program that would be easy for her to use and teach her how to use it. She LOVES drawing on the computer now. She also had to help Daddy one evening when he was working on our computer.
