Help!

Hi everyone! I'm assuming that by now most of you have heard our news. We are expecting a baby. The due date is October 10th. I really need everyone to do one thing for me - pray that I will not get sick! In both of my last pregnancies I got sick at the start of my 7th week (I am in the middle of my 5th week) and stayed extremely sick for 3 months. That is the only bad part of this situation. We are super excited for the new addition to our family.

Love, Missy (and Paul)

Party time!

I know its kind of last minute but I wanted to let everyone know we're having a party for Jude and Paul. At 6pm we'll have Judes party and at 7pm Paul's party will start.
For Jude we're just having a low key get together. Just cake and presents. Don't feel any pressure to bring a present, I'm sure he'll get spoiled enough as it is (and he's one so its unlikely he'll be too offended).
Paul wanted to have a big video game party. He's going to set up 2 or 3 TVs and play until we get kicked out (which I think it 10pm). We'll have some toys there for the kids and for the women we'll try to get some board games going (maybe pictionary with a couple of white boards).
This will all take place at Heather and Rob's apartment's clubhouse. If you need directions or the address give me a call at 228-5548
Hopefully we'll see some of ya'll there- Missy

Jude dude turns 1 today!

Happy Birthday Jude!
I can't believe he's already one! This year has passed by so fast! We have really enjoyed this baby boy of ours. He's so happy and he brightens each day. We are so blessed to have this little surprise! We love his so much!
Right now he is doing a lot of talking (we don't understand much except mamamama....). He is so fascinated by his sister and thinks everything she does is hilarious. He's standing on his own and has attempted to take a step, but just resorts to crawling. At the moment he is really a daddy's boy and loves to cuddle with him as much as possible. He loves to make friends everywhere we go. He refuses to drink out of a sippy cup, he's a bottle man! And he loves anything having to do with music - he loves it when people sing to him and when the radio's on he does a little squat and sways with the time of the music.

He had his doctor's appointment this morning and here is his stats...

Height: 30.75" = 80%
Weight: 20lbs = 12%
Head size: 18.50" = 69%

From M & M

After a week of on-and-off snow, we now have had freezing rain. The sheets that Paul is holding are the top layer of the snow, which is sheer ice. 5 more inches of snow is predicted for tonight. Fun times!

Darn That Global Warming!

Hey Everyone,
The arctic blast hit the city this morning. We have 3-4 inches & 3 more are due tonight. The thermometer is dropping fast and the entire city is at a standstill. No Church meetings today and all schools closed tomorrow. It's pretty fun. Merry Christmas!
