Just pull it out, Dad!

Baylor has been dealing with a wiggly tooth for months. It has finally gotten to the point of flopping around some, so we worked at it for a while last night with dental floss and heavy wiggling. Finally he was fed up and just wanted a treasure under his pillow. "Just pull it, Dad!"


A few minutes later, we had a toothless grin! And I would like to add that my son who is enjoying his summer by sleeping in until 9 woke his roommate brother up at 5:45 searching for his treasure.

This time next week...

We will be attempting to put our daughter to bed for the first time in our care. I am excited... nervous... scared... overwhelmed... overjoyed... thankful...and glad this journey is almost over.

It's all about the milk...

Silly I know but I love to notice dates ( not important ones mind you as I cannot keep those straight) but I have always loved milk carton dates. Call me crazy I know, but when I go to the grocery it makes me smile when the date on the milk is say... my birthday, my anniversary, my kids birthday... you get the picture.

When I was pregnant I knew I had made it when the date on the milk carton was my due date or after (it only happened with my first child as my other 2 were 2 weeks early). It is one of those indicators in life of time that will come and go quickly.

Today my milk carton has next Saturday on it... and next Saturday I will be on an airplane to pick up my precious angel... FOREVER!

Casa Azul

Well we have a room. I have gotten mixed reports on how nice it is, but since it is just me and Brent, we are up for the task. It is right on the main block in Antigua and just 1/2 a block from "Central Park" where all the action is on the weekends ( when we will be there) This picture is ( I believe) a picture taken from the roof top veranda on the building. We are told that it is/was a colonial building refurbished to be a small inn. It only has 14 rooms. 8 MORE DAYS

Laughing and Crying

Okay... first I am laughing because this is the craziest but cutest thing I have ever seen...

Then I am crying because this should not be happening until I get there. But look how happy she is about what she is doing.


T minus 10 days... and counting! ( by the way... she is in a 0-3 month dress that I took down on my Feb visit)

International Traveler... WHAT?

Okay... this is for the birds and it is HARD. Little been in TN all my life, Ashley, has no idea what she is doing. We have been trying to call the Casa Santo Domingo for 3 days now and I do not even know if we are calling correctly... with international codes and all. So right now, we are going to Guat... but we may not have a bed to sleep in until Monday... for you literal people... just kidding, we will find something!

PINK

WE GOT PINK!!!!! Our Embassy Date is June 5th at 7:15 AM... we are probably leaving on June 2nd... early in the morning. We were going to leave on the 1st but Baylor probably has something special that night.

PERFECT... THANK YOU JESUS... AN ANSWERED PRAYER!!!!

Here we come baby girl!!!!
