Another miracle is here!

Congrats to Michael and Elizabeth on the birth of their baby. James Daniel was born at 6:48 this morning weighing in at 8lbs 3oz and 20 1/2 inches long.

He's trying to walk

Before I show off new pictures of Kevin, please be in prayer for Elizabeth as she prepares to deliver her baby....like maybe tonight! She had a great doctor's appointment today and was shocked to learn that she was dilated to a 4. If she attempts work tomorrow I may be the taxi taking her to the hospital if her water breaks! I'm there for you, girl!!! Can't wait to meet baby Daniel very soon.

Now for some Kevin pictures. He was learned how to work his new walking toy and is all over the place now.




Watch out Meghan!!!!


CHEESE!

Busy weekend

We had a very busy 4 day weekend and Kevin was a trooper! Thursday night we celebrated our anniversary dinner (a few days early) at Texas de Brazil....yummy! G-mama watched Kevin for us and he had a blast. He was awake when we picked him up close to 10:00 and passed out the second we got in the car. He didn't want to miss one second of fun.

Kevin's check up was on Friday. He weighed in at 18lbs 11oz and was 28 3/4 inches. That's 75% for height and 25% for weight. No surprise there. His doctor did comfirm that Kevin has 6 teeth now! He looks so cute when he smiles with a mouth full of teeth. We grocery shopped Friday afternoon and made our way to Decatur to see baby Jacob. He's so sweet...pictures to follow soon.

G-mama watched Kevin again on Saturday and we enjoyed a nice lunch together and ran some errands. By Saturday night, we were all exhausted! Kevin got a nice stomach bug around 1:00 Sunday morning which kept us inside yesterday taking care of and cleaning up after him.

I have pictures of all our fun and hope to post them tonight. Today we are celebrating our 7 year anniversary. Time goes by so fast!

Hollywood - Look out!

Our phone should be ringing off the hook soon after Hollywood reads the most romantic thing my husband wrote in an anniversary card he gave me today. Along with a beautiful corsage to wear with my new dress tonight - Ben wrote this.... Actually let me share with you some other romantic lines in Hollywood so you can see why this will beat them all. Here are some of my favorites:

"I love that you get cold when it's 71 degrees out. I love that it takes you an hour and a half to order a sandwich. I love that you get a little crinkle in your nose when you're looking at me like I'm nuts. I love that after I spend day with you, I can still smell your perfume on my clothes. And I love that you are the last person I want to talk to before I go to sleep at night. And it's not because I'm lonely, and it's not because it's New Year's Eve. I came here tonight because when you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible."--Harry Burns (Billy Crystal), When Harry Met Sally.

"It was a million tiny little things that, when you added them all up, they meant we were suppose to be together... and I knew it. I knew it the very first time I touched her. It was like coming home... only to no home I'd ever known... I was just taking her hand to help her out of a car and I knew. It was like... magic.--Sam Baldwin (Tom Hanks), Sleepless in Seattle.

You... complete me."--Jerry Maguire (Tom Cruise), Jerry Maguire.


Similar to the last quote from a great movie - Ben's words were very short and simple. Here they are folks - the moment you've all been waiting for. Hollywood, hope you're ready, too.

"I love you more than tortillas with butter." -- Ben Sasser, 7 year anniversary card

I'll give you a moment to grab a tissue. Isn't it great? He's so romantic!! 7 years married, 10 years together and I love him for writing that in a card. Ben has been a wonderful, godly and faithful husband. He's a great daddy to Kevin and I love watching the two of them together. I love forward to many more years of getting romantic cards like this.

What happened to my baby?

Where has the time gone? My baby is growing up so fast....he's 9 months old today. He has quite the personality and there is no question where he got that from! He is quick on "telling" us what he wants and doesn't want these days. His attachment stage is getting better. Some days are better than others but for the most part, he allows us to leave the room and do other things besides hold him. He is sleeping in his bed even after waking up in the middle of the night - which is huge progress from my last post.

I have some updated pictures of Kevin that I will post later on. I have some time off the end of this week to celebrate our 7 year anniversary on the 11th. Talk about time going by fast.
