The big news...I am now officially on facebook. I fought for so long not to be on it, especially with having to keep the blog updated. I didn't want another thing on the internet to be addicted to. But after my brother said he joined, and he is pretty level headed and I trust his judgement (most of the time), and he said he was connecting with lots of old friends, and after much hounding from my good friend, Zeta, I swallowed my pride and signed up. I think it was a good decision...I have already enjoyed connecting with old friends and catching up. So, "friend" me. (I can't believe I just wrote that.)
The bigger news...BABY #2 IS ON THE WAY!! We are due June 22nd, but since we'll have another c-section, it will probably be the week of June 14th (if nothing happens before then). This baby is definitely making me feel yuckier than Bo did, which is why the doctor predicted it's a girl. A boy would be super convenient, since we already have all the "boy" stuff. And I already know what to do with boys. So, I am having some issues with the potential prospect of having a girl. I know...sounds really selfish, since lots of people can't even have kids, but I'm just being honest about my thoughts and feelings. Nevertheless, we are really excited, no matter what we have.

Fall Festival and a Day in the Country
The church we're attending had a Preschool Day in the Country recently. A retired couple in the church moved out to the country and hosts various groups at their home and property. (The husband told me they were blessed and wanted to use their home/property to bless others - I LOVE these kinds of people!!) We took a couple of tractor-pulled hay rides, made some fall-themed crafts, ate lunch, attempted to take some "pumpkin patch" pictures, and went cane-pole fishing. I was able to meet and chat with a few moms and make a few new connections. It was the perfect day!
Bo LOVED the tractor!! Immediately after our hay-ride was over, he wanted to go again. And he asked for other rides several times during the day.
Bo caught his first fish!!! It was more like the man caught the fish while Bo was holding the end of the pole, but we'll say it counts! And he touched it! It was a blue gill.
This was our attempt at getting a pumpkin patch picture. I wanted Bo to sit down on the hay and on the pumpkins, and he did, but not long enough for me to snap a picture. Oh, well, maybe next year!
This is our little cowboy for Fall Festival or Halloween. We had picked up a last-minute Elmo costume at Target that he seemed pretty excited about. Once we were home, he wanted to put it on twice, but both times he wanted it off about 30 seconds later. I thought he might get more used to it before we left for the Fall Festival, but nope. This time he didn't want to put it on at all! So we opted for the cowboy outfit - once again. So, here's a comparison of our 2.5 year old cowboy and our 18 month cowboy...He's getting so BIG!!
