Baby #2 Update and Hunting Trip

We have had an eventful Thanksgiving holiday. We spent Thursday with Grandma and Popa eating until we could eat no more. We then set out for Santee, SC. There were plans for Lucas to go on his first hunt and have Thanksgiving with Nanny and Nana.

Friday we got up early and drove into town. We met up Papaw to have lunch and see his new house. After which, the boys went down to the hunting land to set up the dear blind that Lucas and Papaw were going to hunt in that evening. Lucas was very excited to go hunting. I am not an avid hunter and have never really handles guns but my Father in Law is. He had three girls so this is the first boy and they like hunting together. They got all suited up in their camo about 4:30 and headed out. We heard a loud shot as it started to get dark, but when they returned they were empty handed. Papaw had shot at a coyote(and missed, we think) that was ruining their hunt. All in all they both had a good time and plan to do this many times more in the future.

As for Baby #2 we have decided on a name and it is.......

MITCHEL DAVID

Mitchel is a unique name and David is from Christina's father. Christina also had a doctors appointment on Monday and all is well. Everything looked good and things are on track. I will post more about the baby when information comes in.

Two Wheeling

Lucas has learned how to ride a two wheeler. He has known for about a month now but i am just now getting a little video clip up. He saw another little boy in the neighborhood that was his age doing it and he had to learn. Christina taught him in about 2 days. Next thing you know he will be getting his drivers license.

Boy Number 2

That's right we are having another baby boy. Christina and I are proud to announce that we are expecting again. It has been a very long road to get here. Many people know that we lost 2 babies after we had Lucas to miscarriages, but we finally feel like we are in the clear with this pregnancy.

We went to the doctors office last week and had anultra sound that showed the baby is doing very well and all is going according to plan. Christina was so very relieved. The last time she was in that room she got very bad news but this was a different story. This time she was crying tears of joy. We are both very excited and Lucas is too. I will do my best to keep things up to date on the blog again. With Facebook now everything is different and more knowledge is spread fast but this is still my main way to give information about the pregnancy out.

First Sleep Over

Lucas had his first sleep over this weekend. He went to stay with his buddy Trace. Trace is the little boy that Christina watches during the week. He had a really good time. They went to adventure landing. He told us all about the fast cars, playing putt-putt, and laser tag. We talked to him before he went to bed and he was all wound up so we knew that he had a good time. He woke up in the middle of the night looking for his mommy but Trace's mom was able to get him back to bed. We went to pick him up in the morning and when we got there he didn't want to go. He had to ride the horses first (Trace lives on a horse farm). So we watched while the two boys rode the horses. When we finally got home he took a 3 hour nap. They played hard.

31!!

No, not the magazine that sells hand bags, but the age that Christina turned last week. That's right folks Christina is older than I am again. It only lasts two months but I like to rub it it when I can. Luke and I took her out to dinner at Olive Garden on Thursday (her actual birthday). We then traveled to High Point to spend the weekend with her sisters and Dad. All in all, it was a pretty nice weekend. Christina received some new pj's from Lucas and I got her two new charms for her bracelet. She loved both. The kids played in the pool since it was so hot out and hopefully i will be able to get some of the pictures up this week.

3 Year Check Up

I have not posted in a LONG time but i want to rekindle the blog. Christina and i have been doing well. It has been a very hard and emotional year. There have been many looses and we still have heavy hearts. We are moving past these tragedies and taking small steps everyday.

Lucas is still a wild man. We love him so much and don't know what we would do without him. We had his 3 year old check up yesterday and the doc said everything was going great. He was 39" tall and 30 lbs. That ranks about 75% for height and 20% for weight. Tall and skinny just like i was when i was little.

I hope to add some pictures soon and see if i can keep the motivation to keep up with the blog.
