The New Laurell Will Be...

A little girl!
We had our ultrasound yesterday and Dr. Pinell was able to see girl body parts even with the little baby kicking and wiggling the entire time.
He measured her head and checked out her heart and said everything was looking good so far. We are very thankful!
So, John's harem continues to grow. We are very excited to meet our baby girl in January!
I can't post the pictures because I left them in the doctor's office. I was distracted by wiping the ultrasound jelly off my belly and left them sitting on the counter.
Pray for us to continue to have healthy development in this pregnancy.

Goodbye, Alley Dog!

Today we had to put down our sweet dog, Alley. She had so many health problems that we thought we had under control until this week, when it was one thing after another and the vet said we had done all we could do.
We will miss her so much.

In honor of my summer vacation's end...

Here is a short compilation of some of the girls' tubing battles they had this summer at the lake.

Giving in to Blogging

After keeping up with friends through the world of blogging, I am finally caving.
