You have to check this site out!

I found this site through a friends blog. I don't know if you have ever heard this song, but it is unreal. The song is Amazing Grace (My chains are gone). Take the time to check it out, I know you will love it. The video that goes along with it is just as good. Enjoy!

Baby News!!!

Just this week I was able to go in for an ultrasound!! It is so exciting to see your baby growing inside of you!! It is truely a miracle to see the progress we have made since my first one at 6 1/2 weeks. All you could see on the first one was a little circle with a heart beat right in the middle of it. I had one at 12 weeks and you could tell the baby was getting a bit longer with buds for arms and legs. Now on this one it looks like an actual baby. What a blessing! Everything looked great this time as well. What an answer to prayers. What is even more exciting is that we were able to find out that we are having another BOY!!!! Jeff wasn't at the appointment so they wrote it on a piece of paper with a picture inside that said Parker's little brother! I am so glad that Parker is going to have a little brother to teach things to and hang out with!

House Progress!!!

Just wanted to show you the progress of the house. This top picture was taken last Friday, so just a couple of days ago and the bottom picture was taken this morning. Jeff was so excited that he was able to get the his Lamar crane to help the boys put up the trusses! Things are going a lot faster than we thought they would. It is so exciting to drive by everyday and see the progress that has been made. Sorry about another sideways picture :(

Happy New Year!!

I would love to post some pictures of what we did this exciting New Years, but there aren't any. Now that we are parents, you never know what is going to happen. Like your son being sick and having to stay home with him! This is the first year, that I can remember, I can honestly say we did not watch the ball drop. That is okay though, I wouldn't have wanted it any other way.

Some late Christmas Pics!!!

Tearing open the presents was by far Parkers favorite part of Christmas. We had at least 7 parties to go to so he had plenty of practice. He is surely one spoiled little boy, but thats okay. We had a very busy but wonderful time this year and hope that yours was enjoyable as well. Such a great time of year to get together and catch up with everybody.
At the one of the Leeuw parties Parker was able to be "Santa" and pass out all of the presents. He loved his little Santa hat and the new chapstick that Santa brought him. Of course he has to try everything out the second he opens it.
I think this may be our only Family picture of the Holiday season. It's hard to get good ones. This one is not the greatest but it will have to do for now. Notice we have to pretty much hold Parker in place because he never stops moving. Thank God for a son that is growing strong and healthy.
