Half Way to Baby's Arrival!

This morning we had an appointment for Baby's Anatomy scan, and the Dr. said everything looked great! I was very excited to see her checking off "normal" on all of baby's little parts in the computer before we left! Praise God for a healthy baby!

We also have info on baby's gender...only sealed in an envelope until next week! We'll open the envelope on Christmas morning to find out if we'll be thinking pink or blue. Waiting for Christmas this year feels a little like it did at age 5 again- I love it, and hope I can make it until then!

Second thought- I'll definitely make it to Christmas, because Bryan has hidden the envelope and DVD of the sonogram to ensure that I do! I still think he's the one who would crack before me...haha. We're both pretty determined to wait though, because we really do want to find out together on Christmas. Check back in after Christmas to find out!

Here's baby at week 20:


Baby's tiny feet!

The Dr. said that baby had both legs crossed and over it's head, just hanging out!

I feel baby moving all the time now, too! It's so much fun, and brings a smile to my face every time. It's such a joy getting to carry this tiny little life and pray over this baby, that he or she would know and treasure Christ above everything else. And while we aren't minding the quiet nights right now...we definitely can't wait for baby to get here so we can meet him/her!

O Tannenbaum...

If there's anything about the Holiday season that I love, it's a beautifully decorated tree to sit by on cool nights with a great cup of warm something! ...Mainly chai. I would say snowy nights, but living in Texas, well, "cool" is just about as good!

And this Christmas was especially fun, as we had our friends, Bryan's Iraqi "brothers" over to help us decorate the tree! Bryan and I hung about 3 ornaments each, and within about 20 minutes they had decorated the whole tree beautifully! It's by far my favorite tree we've had yet.



We made our own pizza for dinner, had homemade apple pie (Thanks Malika!!), watched "The Nativity Story" and listened to some great Iraqi music. Bryan even learned to dance a little, although at one point he ended up being taught how to dance like a woman...better luck next time around learning to dance like a man!

What a great Sunday!

Thanks again for coming, guys, and can't wait to have you back over again!

Fall-the best season of all!

I love the fall! And what better way to celebrate than in fall colors- Orange (& a little black!)

An amazing fall tree in my parents neighborhood.


Fall is always better with friends... we love you Jill!


Fall is when Bryan and I met 5 years ago! We took this picture in the exact spot that we met in the OSU student Union 5 years ago almost to the date! November 6th, 2003.


Fall is the best season of year for the best drink in the world- a Big Train Hot Chai Latte! And who better to get it from than your little sister in the Hastings Drive through window on the way to the OU/OSU Bedlam game??


We came inside to say hi in person, too. It was just fun going through the drive through!


I love my little sister!


Bedlam Game! Too bad that the really cool picture with the game actually in the background somehow got deleted from my camera...Too bad we didn't win, either. There's always next year..

Vacation

Bryan and I took a much needed vacation in October and went to Mexico! It was so beautiful and so relaxing! Here's some favorites from the beach.

These things were huge!!! I'm actually thankful for our Texas sized little guys now :-)
