2 weeks and counting...
We are quite excited to welcome Baby Andrew into our family. He will be born around 7:15 am on October 8th. The nursery is all set up..just waiting on our little boy! Avery will be attending a Big Sister class at Baylor All Saints Hospital this Saturday to learn all about safely taking care of her little brother. We had a fun girls day today that included getting our nails done...the princess is now sporting hot pink nails.

Wow..it's been a month!!
Not a day has passed that I didn't think about writing this blog update...I don't have a 'job' so I don't know why this is so hard to keep up with.
Biggest & Best News:
We sold our house in Watson! We put our house on the market January 1st of 08. So 8 months and 28 days later it is SOLD. What a relief! We are so excited to free from the financial burden of it all. God is so good to us. Our prayers were answered!
Back to School for Kenny:
Well..one of the main reasons we moved to DFW was for Kenny to go to Seminary @ Dallas Theological. With the burden of virtually 2 house notes, Kenny dropped his classes he had scheduled. Wouldn't you know we received a purchase agreement the day before the last day to register!! So, Kenny is indeed enrolled at DTS this semester taking 6 hours. One class on Monday nights and one online. He really enjoys his class and the professor is awesome. Can I just say for the record..Kenny is the best husband any girl could ask for. I am truly blessed!
Avery Grace:
Avery is doing just great. At 4, she is quite the talker. She takes a ballet dance class on Tuesday mornings, attends AWANA on Wednesday nights, and loves children's church on Sundays. She also begs to go to a place called Play Time where parents can drop off their children and pay for childcare by the hour. Kenny and I have brought her there twice while we enjoyed a quiet dinner together as a date night.
The other day, Avery insisted on carrying this little bible around..at one point she opened it and said, "Look, Mommy, the Bible says we should eat something cold and white." How could I argue with the bible? So for her creativity I gave her some ice cream.
She asks every single day...if it is halloween yet. (she and Andrew will be pumpkins) If we can go to Disney World today AND If Andrew is going to be born today. We have scheduled a Big Sister class at the end of the month for her to attend at the hospital where Andrew will be born. I think she is going to be a great big sister.
Andrew...Well I have had a LOT of doctor drama since moving here. But I finally saw a doctor this past Monday. She said that I am measuring really big..(sounds familiar from Avery)..so we are going back next week for an ultrasound to see when this little boy will be born. My friends and family got together to plan a surprise Baby Sprinkle for us. Unfortunately, it was interrupted by our friend Hurricane Gutav. I was really touched by all of your thoughtfulness though. So thank you very much!
Alesha...I have adjusted to life here in DFW. I must say that I love my apartment. It is the perfect size for us and is way easier to keep clean. Even though I am taking on the appearance of a beached whale...I have kept the weight gain down to about 10 lbs. My major craving with this pregnancy has been ice..especially Sonic ice. I can't get enough! I am getting excited to meet Andrew and I am bracing myself for the first month..because I am experienced enough to know how hard it will be. I haven't made any real friends here but I am not too lonely...as I get older I am more of a home-body anyway. LOL
Kramer: He is doing just fine. About 6 oclock every afternoon he goes a little crazy though..because a female boxer passes right in front of his yard. Kramer loves it here because he gets to spend a lot of time inside...and it isnt near as hot and humid as it was back home. Avery is in charge of feeding him everyday...and they have a love/hate relationship for the most part. She is sweet to him sometimes...but loves to lock him in the bathroom whenever she can as well.
That's about all I can think of to say right now. I am attaching some pictures of our apartment as well as a couple of pics from Avery's dance class. I hope you are all doing okay. Please feel free to drop us a line when you can. -Alesha
