Everything I need to know about life, I learned from Noah's Ark...

1. Don't miss the boat.
2. Remember that we are all in the same boat.
3. Plan ahead. It wasn't raining when Noah built the Ark.
4. Stay fit. When you're 600 years old, someone may ask you to do something really big.
5. Don't listen to critics; just get on with the job that needs to be done.
6. Build your future on high ground.
7. For safety sake, travel in pairs.
8. Speed isn't always an advantage. The snails were on board with the cheetahs.
9. When you're stressed, float a while.
10. Remember, the Ark was built by amateurs; the Titanic by professionals.
11. No matter the storm, when you are with God, there's always a rainbow waiting.

As many know, I'm doing the baby room in a Noah's Ark theme so I'm constantly looking for new things to put in the room and I had come across this little Noah's Ark Inspiration and wanted to share it with all of you. Hope you enjoy!

Indian Cave State Park

Me and my pregnant belly in front of the cave.

Mom and I after all those stairs.

Looking at the cave from below.

The walkway up to the chimney of the cave and the chimney and little shelf.

Sad to say in all the time I've lived here I've never ventured over to see this park and it's only 30 minutes away! We decided to come over and see the fireworks that evening and luckily we got to the park early enough to see the cave and some other scenic outlooks.

Making Progress

Well, we're making some progress. Mom was down over Labor Day weekend to help me with the nursery and we got a good start. We got the entire room painted, closet doors put on, and the crib and dresser/changing table are together and in the room. Unfortunatly my Noah's Ark wall stickers were still not in after ordering over 2 weeks ago but I'm happy with the progress we made. I don't know what I would have done without mom's help. THANKS MOM! Eventually I'll get the stickers up and bedding and curtains so that will make the room look a little more complete so stay tuned.

Falling Model cracks up News Anchor

Can you find them?

We're expecting a girl!

baby faces




big belly

sucking thumb?!

baby arm and hand

Well, as many predicted, we're having a girl! We got a lot of ultrasound pics but here are a few. There are some pretty good ones of the face. It was so amazing to see and we're pretty certain it's a girl by what we saw... or should I say didn't see. I can't wait to get started on the room and buying girly stuff! She sure moves a lot throughout the day and the feeling is so weird but really neat. We're happy to share this news with all of you and hope to see everyone soon!
