Come on ring those bells!

Andrew was in his first Christmas program at church. Ok, so it wasn't really a program, just the 2-5 year olds singing. He did great. He started off by falling on his head before all the kids were even on stage.....No tears though... All the kids were such a blessing, hearing them sing about Jesus and his birth reminded me what Christmas is all about.

Here he is doing the motions to Little Baby in a Manger.

I was listening to the radio the other day and heard "Mary Did You Know" I was brought to tears with the line "Did you know that your baby boy would save our sons and daughters." I'm so glad that we have hope this Christmas, hope found in a savior, not a baby that is helpless, or a man hanging on a cross, but a SAVIOUR! Risen from the dead, secure in our SALVATION all praise to him!

Here is our big man ringing his bell with all he's got, wishing you all a Merry Christmas!

Getting Ready

So there's nothing like the last minute. In fact, I find myself becoming a "Bush" more and more! We are starting to get ready for this baby. I bought sheets for the crib, which I cannot find, I got my nursing stuff out that still needs washed, I bought take home outfits that finally got put in our bag, the bag that's going to get repacked now that I have the stuff I need, oh, yeah and I broke down and bought some blasted pacifiers. Yes, I bought some simply because the one they ended up giving Andrew in the isolette drove me bonkers. Oh, well, I guess life goes on. 14 days or less, that's what I tell myself. I can't believe we're going to meet this little one so soon. We are so excited, now if only we could pick a name. No, we don't know what we're having so we actually have to pick two names. A very daunting task!
Andrew has figured out how to climb into his crib, so....keeping him out of the baby's may be interesting. I guess we'll leave him in his until he figures out how to climb out. Although he got new sheets that he loves, so for now maybe that will help keep him in. Andrew thinks that babies cry and get baths, and he also thinks that bottles get pop in them. So, it will be a very very long time before he is trusted with his new little sibling.
Keep checking in here as we will post right away when we have the baby so that you all can see pictures and stuff.
Have a wonderful day!

Cry Baby.

FYI..... Most kids know what a horse, cow, duck, dog, cat, monkey says. Andrew does too, but he also knows what a baby says. Really the best part is this face that he pulls as he very quietly says "uhhhh, cwy." I emphasise the QUIETLY part. We'll see in a few weeks if its as quiet. Every time you ask him, this face comes out and we simply just crack up. The best part is that he keeps his face that why long enough to document this wonderful moment! I hope you all enjoy this as much as we do, but considering we're his parents and think he's great no matter what, I doubt you care.....Oh well, deal with it.
