Things are going to get interesting....

Well, I'll just get straight to the point here and let the picture do the talking:

Yep, we're having another baby! Tyler is going to be a big brother!!!! We're all very excited, especially Tyler. He is absolutely, 100% sure that there is a "baby brother in Mommy's tummy". We've told him that we'll have to wait for Mommy's doctor to tell us what we are having. But either way, he's excited! I'm due January 13, 2011. So Tyler will be just shy of turning 4, and therefore will be the perfect helper age.

This pregnancy has been very different from my pregnancy with Tyler. I have been much sicker this time around. I'm hoping that since I'm nearing the end of the 1st trimester, I'm also
nearing the end of the nauseousness. But we've had one ultrasound so far, and everything looks great! We will have another ultrasound next week for the 1st trimester screening, and we're looking forward to seeing our little one again. We will once again be finding out the sex of the baby, and we think that will happen in late August or early September. We'll keep you updated!

I need to catch everyone up on our weekend in the Outer Banks of NC for Dad & Cindy's
wedding too. They were married on June 26, and we were there along with many others - Eddie & Emily, the Radicks, the Leamons, Cindy's son & his family, my Uncle Nathan, Aunt Kay & Uncle Mike, among others. It was great to have everyone together for the occasion, and the ceremony on the beach was beautiful! Congrats, Dad & Cindy! We love you! Enjoy some pics from the fun weekend (which was just a warm-up for our week long trip to Emerald Isle here in a few short weeks!!!):

Summer is here!

Sorry to be away for so long, but it's been busy here! We had Uncle Eddie & Aunt Emily's wedding in May, and Tyler was a great ring bearer! He walked Maverick down the aisle like a pro, and he behaved perfectly during the ceremony. We were so proud of him. And we were so happy to be a part of Eddie & Emily's special day.

We also recently got Tyler his very first big boy bike! He proved to us that he could pedal his tricycle, and his reward for that was a bike of his choosing. You'll never guess in a million years what kind of bike he chose. Spiderman! Shocking, we know. Spiderman is definitely the superhero of choice around here. He's doing really well on his bike and it's hard to believe that we'll be taking training wheels off of that thing sometime in the future. He's getting so big, so fast!

The pool has also opened for the summer, and Tyler has been spending a lot of time there on weekends. He's loving the water just as much as he did last year. And we have plans to get him together with our friend Jennifer, who will help to teach him to swim. We figure it's time for him to learn and I think that he'll get a lot more out of his pool experience with that knowledge.

Coming up this summer we have Grandpa & Cindy's wedding in the Outer Banks and our annual Emerald Isle trip in July. Tyler also is excited for his first movie theater experience - Toy Story 3. He's a marketers dream. He wants anything and everything to do with that movie. Another busy summer ahead!
