8 week count down

Well, it has started! We have started going to the doctor every 2 weeks now. The time is flying by so fast. October will be over before we know it. It seems that we have something every weekend in October. We are going out of town next week, we have 3 birthday parties this weekend (we were supposed to camp out at the zoo friday night but the zoo called it off), we have Mylie Cyrus concert, and Nash's baby shower ( to name just a few things that are happening.) Fun!! I love Fall!

Jon Harris is getting very excited about Nash! We signed him up for the "Big Brother" class at Methodist Germantown. They have a class for 2-6 years old and 7- 12 years old. He is going to the 7- 12 years old class. I hope it goes well. It sounds like it'll be fun! They have a birthday party for the baby, show them how to change a diaper:), and take them on a tour of the hospital. The only thing I worry about is the video they show of the birth. It is not supposed to be graphic but still..... He already has lots of questions ( like "How is he coming out?")! I have said before that he is a very SMART kid- I have to give him a logical answer. Besides, I'd rather be honest with him. I have been praying that God gives me the right words to say! ( and he will!)

My last doctor's appointment went well. They did an ultrasound and my placenta has moved out of the way- thank goodness! Nash seemed to be doing great! He has definetly grown since we saw him at 18 weeks. I can't wait to see his sweet face! -I am definetly getting bigger... Fun fun. So far, I feel great. I know those days will soon come to an end. ( I hope not) I am now feeling hiccups and LOTS of movement especially when I lay down for the night.

Finally working on the nursery!

We have about 11 weeks left before we meet our sweet baby Nash! My consultant, Sarah- hehe, told me that I have got to get on the ball! She keeps me on task! So, we started the nursery Friday. Thanks to Sarah, Ryan, and my mom, we got most of it finished. We still have so much to get- rocker, dresser, etc... But at least we have a start now. We painted the room blue, put up bead board, and a chair rail. We got the crib, mattress, and bedding. Oh yea! And put in a closet organizer. We had a pretty full weekend! We just can't wait to have Nash in his new bedroom!

Lake 09

We spent Labor Day weekend at Norfork Lake. It was awesome! We had a great time. Jon Harris got to intertube for the first time. He loved it! We could not hardly get him off. (Amy, I told him all about our adventures "tubing" with your family and all the fun we had.) We could hear him laugh and giggle the whole time. He got to ride with Sarah, Uncle Ryan, and Bo-Daddy. We even got my mom on the tube for the first time ever. It was funny watching her and my dad having such a good time. Next year, Uncle Ryan wants to teach Jon Harris to ski. (Maybe I'll be able to do more than just watch.) It was so nice to relax with my family and enjoy the beautiful scenery. It reminded me of all the blessings God has given me! ( More than I deserve!)

Jon Harris's turning 7 years old!! I can't believe how fast he has grown! These past 7 years have definetly been the best years of my life. Nothing beats being a mom. He has been my greatest accomplishment! (Nash, too!)

Steve, "M-Ashley," "Bo-Daddy," and I threw Jon Harris a birthday party at Pump-It-Up. That is the best place ever! They took care of everything- we got to sit back and enjoy. I think the adults had just as much fun as the kids. We had a good mixture there.... we had friends from Covington and Cordova attend. Thanks to all our friends and family for coming- you helped make Jon Harris's birthday very special!

Two Down and Two To Go

I just wanted to congratulate my two best friends on the birth of their precious baby boys!!

Two weeks ago, Katy and Landon Morgan had a bouncing baby boy. Colton Rayne Morgan decided to come into the world 6 weeks early. He weighed 5lbs. and 8 oz. Katy and Colton are home and doing great! We love you guys and can't wait to meet Colton! Keep sending us those pictures!

Yesterday, Amy and Erik Beasley had a beautiful baby boy. Mills Oliver Beasley weighed 6lbs. and 10 oz. He is so beautiful! He has a head full of dark hair. Mills and Amy are doing great! I wished I had pictures but with the excitement- I forgot my camera! We love you guys and we are so excited for you!!

Just being Jon Harris

Jon Harris has always been a pretty smart kid. He comes up with some of the funniest things. The other night during supper, we were talking about our bodies and where your food goes once you chew it up. Jon Harris informed us that your food goes in the stomach. When it leaves there, it goes into the small "testament" and then the large "testament." Bo and I tried to keep a straight face.... it was impossible! At least he has been listening in church but too bad it is totally in the wrong text!

Time Flies

First Day of First Grade

First Day of Kindergarten

Where did the last year go? It seems like yesterday Bo and I were walking Jon Harris into his classroom for the first day of Kindergarten. Today we walked him into the classroom for his first day of First Grade. I can't get over how fast he has grown! Before long he will be begging me not to walk him in school, hold his hand, or kiss him in public. I dread it!

We are very blessed AGAIN this year with a great teacher, Mrs. Bledsoe. I have heard wonderful things about her. We are super excited to get to know her better. And to top it off, Savannah, Jon Harris's best bud, is in his class. I was so worried about moving down here to Shelby County but God continues to bless us all!
