Congratulations Nick! He made the Dean's List!

Nick suprised me by putting up his "refrigerator art"...

He made the Dean's List for Fall 2008! Way to go babe!This is Nick slaving away doing homework...

obviously it's paying off!

Family Photos!

We took family photos in September and finally got them back. And now, I'm finally getting around to posting them. :-) Here is Nick, Molly (who we don't have anymore- sad!), and me.Nick's parents Mike and Lori...still in love.
Nick's sister Jessica, her husband Grady and their 2 kids Orin and Chelsea. So cute!

The whole family got together-

Grandma and Grandpa Harris and the whole gang!

He's a movin' and a shakin'!

On January 13th at 3:33 pm I felt the baby move for the first time! I was sitting at my desk kind of hunching over (bad posture-oops!) and he gave me a little kick-kick-roll. I was so excited! He doesn't move around a lot yet, but likes to let me know he's awake when I watch TV with Nick in the evenings. He especially likes to move during the show House- so maybe he'll be a doctor! That's all for now- keep giving us your votes on names-I'm sure I'll add some more names to the list too! XOXO Mandy

It's a boy!!

It's definitely a boy! He cooperated and gave mom and dad a good shot of 'the goods'. Dad is quite proud! He keeps saying, "It takes a man to make a man!". Oh jeez, I'm going to have my hands full of testosterone! Lol!
Here is a side profile of his face. You can see he has his mouth open.

Here is a good shot of him head-on. You can see his little eyes and he's waving at mom and dad!

Meet the baby!

Hello baby! We had our first OB appointment on 11/13/08 with Dr. Bryan Hodges at St. Lukes. This is the first ultrasound of the baby and I was 8 weeks 5 days along. The heartbeat was 182 (which is good) and the baby was 2 cm long! I can't wait to post more pictures as we get them!

Halloween 2008

Everyone gathered to prove their carving skills
You can see Nick's choice of tool...

Logan and Taylor got cozy for the camera

And Orin approched carving double-fisted!

Jess and the kids made beautiful pumpkins!

And we dedcided to do family photos

And that's how it all began...

We started out a little goofy,

And then paused for a group photo.

And then Eric almost died...

Somehow they managed to pick me up- baby pumpkin and all!

And then Eric had to show off his muscles.

And somehow Adam mistook my yard for a "mosh pit". Somehow

we all ended up surviving and had a wonderful night!

Playing mexican horseshoes at Yaya and Papas. Man can those kids throw!
