That's My Boy

Well, if you haven't heard yet, Laura and I are looking forward to the birth of our first child on Sunday, March 8, 2009! We went for our first sonogram about 10 days and here's his first photo shoot! Feel free to click on any photo as they will be easier to see while enlarged.

Photo 1: Here the baby is looking directly at you. Notice the cute face....thank goodness...he'll look like his mother!


Photo 2: Notice the baby showing his cute little arm and hand. He was saying "HI" to Overflo!


Photo 3: Here the baby is just chilling! Notice the head to the left, with his foot touching his head. Think you could do that at your age?


I hope you enjoyed this! 16 weeks down and now just 24 more!

Tornatic Tuesday

Well, there's no tornados today, but we'll see as far as the rest of the week. These storms are getting old! Anyways, how's your week going? I hope you enjoyed your Labor Day weekend.

We are just 2 days away from the premiere of our brand new series...



It is going to be great. We'll even begin it with a great drama from the Overflo drama team. Make sure you invite your friends too.

And an Andy update....I just stopped down and saw Brother Andy in the hospital. He is doing good. I was able to take him on a walk around the 5th floor. He is gaining strength daily but continues to cough his head off. So be praying for him. He is ready to go home after being in there for 15 days. Lord willing, he will be able to head home at the end of the week!

Well, I look forward to seeing you Thursday at 6:45pm!
