Lots of changes...

Over the last several months lots of changes have been happening around our house... i know still no excuse not to blog.... :-)

The biggest change is that we will be welcoming baby boy #2 in our house in August! We are very excited and as nervous as I was about telling Kyle he has been the best, most excited big brother any one could ask for. I am so proud of him and I know (hope and pray) that he will continue this positive loving attitude toward the baby when he arrives.

So with this major event of having a new little one join us, comes also the stress of getting the house moved around and re-organized. I know that most days I just go on a tear and start cleaning out things. My husband and co-workers now think I am officially nuts for watching the hoarding shows on TV and thinking that is me! I know that I do not have pizza boxes from 1992 but come on... some of the junk that I have saved is ridiculous. Mom will be the first to tell you about my telephone book collection that dated back to 2000. Yes, all of the telephone books are now cleaned out but there is still so much more! I am in the process of cleaning out the office to turn it into the baby's room and everywhere I am turning I find more stuff....(or junk as I have been calling it.) Goodwill has been receiving LOTS of stuff from me right now. At least I am giving it all up for a good cause....right?!?!

Now on to another major stressor...this baby boy's name. What in the WORLD are we going to name him?!? When I was pregnant with baby boy #1, Ben and I went through all of the name lists and we both looked at each other and said Kyle...it was perfect...it just clicked. However, this time we can't really agree 100% on anything. And that worries me A LOT....I want the perfect name that clicks. What if I never find that? Should I just settle?

Then on the other hand I heard an amazing testimonial from a mom who's child is being treated at the children's hospital. She said before her son was born she focused on his name- his perfect name- but never thought about the life changing diagnosis he could have when he was born. Her story has stuck with me so much.

Okay I am sorry for the rambling blog tonight...however it seems all I do these days is ramble. I'm going to get up from here and go clean something. :-) Good Night.

Komen Race 2010

A couple of weeks ago, Ms. Denise (Ben's Mom), Monica (Ben's sister), Marti and Jonna (nieces), Kyle and I all participated in the Komen walk. We had a lot of fun and it was really over before I knew it! I can't believe we walked the mile in no time!

Below is Mr. John completing the 5K race!


After the race all of the grandchildren had there picture taken with De De and Little Pa!


Marti and Kyle got these hat things from Memorial. They were too funny! Kyle is still wearing his around the house from time to time.
