We are obviously better at Facebook than Blogging......moving on

Well it is official we have got our little fella home and into a semi routine. We went to the Ped yesterday and the little chunk had gained 1lb 4oz he is up to 7lbs 15 1/2oz it is amazing what happens when you feed them regularly. We appreciate all your thoughts and prayers while we were figuring out the feeding thing and a big thanks to family for all your help and your understanding when we had to send everyone home and have some time for us.


We are living on a 3-4 hr schedule and lovin it. Luke is growing to fast already. If anyone was wondering Ash and I are doing well also.


As I am typing this I am trying to remember what else has happened since our last post but the last 4 wks have been such a blur it is honestly hard to remember anything before that. Ash is still at Tronox she has switched jobs in house to a new position working with DCS which is the computer system they use at the plant and that is all I know. I am still at Calvary in glorious Boone-Vegas and am looking forward to a new year hanging our with students. For whatever reason I am running 3 times a week so there is that. We both turned 29 this year and celebrated 5 wonderful years of marriage this past August. So we held to our 5yr deal that we were going to wait and in our 5th yr we were going to start on kids so we are a little early on that but close enough.

Sooo that is us in a nutshell for the past 7 months and we will now slip off into another black hole till prob Feb givin that Dove, Deer, Rabbit, Turkey, and oh Football seasons are coming up. Ash gets to have our little buddy at football this yr but me, I gotta wait a couple years but as soon as I can get my little huntin buddy cleared for action we are gonna be off!

Soooo yeah it is February

Wow it does not seem like it has been 6 months since we were last updating this thing but i guess it has been. Well I guess if we do it more often then there won't be so much to talk about at once. Anywho, if you haven't heard or noticed the countdown to BB's arrival at the top of the page Ash is pregnant with our first we are expecting BB to be here July 28th. She (Ash) is currently 16 wks and it has been pretty uneventful up to this point. Luckily she has had no nausea or morning sickness just some acid reflux and wanting to sleep A Lot! According to the now famous e-mails we get each week the baby is now the size of an avocado (ummmmm guacamole). We are hoping to find out the flavor next month which will be the first of March. The Doc said last visit the baby wouldn't sit still long enough for him to check the heartbeat that BB was "an active little booger" and I though GREEEAAATTT. We are pretty sure about names already but these are not in stone but don't steal them either Lillie Dawn for a girl and Jack Lucas for a boy. So that is about all that is going on in our world right now sooooo maybe it won't be another 6 months till next time.
