Drumroll please...

This morning, we had our 20 week doctor's appointment. Everything went wonderfully with the ultrasound and we found out that I can now run out and buy lots of pink! Yes that's right! We are having a girl!!!! We are both just overflowing with joy and can't wait to meet her! As soon as our ultrasould technician told us, we just squeezed each other's hands. I think I did just to keep from screaming and leaping off the table. :) Either way we would've been thrilled, but it sure will be nice to have both a boy AND a girl. God is so good and has blessed us with another healthy pregnancy up to this point. We have so much to be thankful for!

Here is a pic of our sweet little girl:

Adam is filling our lives with more joy each day. He is one of the happiest babies I think I've ever known. He is just taking his time with walking. He will grab onto whatever he can find and sort of maneuver his way around, without really having to keep his balance. Trust me...we're in no rush! :) Plus, that boy can really crawl! I think he is enjoying being able to crawl easily to places easily, so it may be a few more months before he really wants to start walking. He is at the stage where he absolutely LOVES to mimic anything we do. He has mastered kiss, clap, wave and is starting to learn some signs. He has been shrieking at the top of his lungs to get our attention and so we have been trying to teach him other ways to communicate. He's not upset, it's just his way of trying to tell us something, but it really can become obnoxious! :) Sorry I don't have any pics at the moment, but we'll try to put some more up soon.

This is a really busy time for us, so if we aren't very consistent with our posts, I apologize. I promise we'll try our best and keep you posted. We love you all!

It's been a long time!

I know that it's been almost 1 month since our last post and for that, I apologize. All is going extremely well for us and we have sooooo much to praise the Lord for!! I'm not quite sure where to begin, except to say that we will have many, many challenges and major changes taking place during the year 2008. Our new little bundle of joy is still set to arrive at the end of June. All is going extremely well. I feel wonderful and we are just sooo excited about the arrival of this new little one. On February 11, we will hopefully find out whether this baby will get Adam's hand-me-downs or if Mommy will be able to go out and get a whole bunch of frilly dresses, bows and lots of pink!!! :) This pregnancy seems to be going much faster than my first...probably because I have so many things keeping me preoccupied. I suppose we should let y'all know that in approximately 1 month, we will be moving to PA. We are really excited and would be glad to share all the details if you'd be interested in hearing. Just give us a call sometime...we'd love to chat with you and hear about your lives. The best part for me is that I will be able to quit working and stay at home with my sweet little boy. And let me just say that we will be well taken care of with my sister and parents being so close-by! As for Adam, well let me just say, he has brought such incredible joy to our lives, sometimes it's hard to comprehend. He is growing soooo fast and is curious about everything. He is now cruising around everywhere on his knees and is able to pull himself up to a standing position with ease. He is eating so much better and loves to mimic everything we do. He laughs alot and is generally an extremely content, happy boy. He now has 3 teeth, soon to be four. Sorry, I haven't really gotten any good pics of those, but here are some random pics from the past month:

Look at all of my toys! Lots of people have been spoiling me!

I LOVE my blanket!

See Mom, one hand!

My great-grandma Weaver made me this little boy blue and I love it!

Splish-splashing in Grandma Williams' sink!

Awwww....

Clap Clap!

OK, so there is not much to this blog post except this video. I suppose that is OK though since most of you who check our blog just want to see videos of Adam anyways. Well, we are happy to oblige.

Here is Adam in Pittsburgh, PA for Christmas. He loves to clap his hands and knows the word. When we say "clap clap" he starts to clap. Also when we sing "Clap your hands all ye babies, shout to the Lord with a voice of triumph" he starts to clap as well. He is learning so much! He does have a ways to go in the coordination department though. We thank God for him every day!

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas Everyone!!!!!!!!

Well, we had a wonderful Christmas celebration at Stephen's parent's home. Dan and his family were there, as well as Kelly. It was great time! We had a huge feast and then opened presents. Stephen's nephew Aaron read the Christmas Story. Kelly had her photography gear with her so she was able to take a family portrait for us. It looks great! Adam had everyone laughing because he was squealing with joy playing peek-a-boo during the photo shoot. He is so much fun and we thank the Lord for him every day.

We are heading up to PA to celebrate the birth of our Lord with Sarah's family. We are hoping for a white Christmas...it seems likely!

God Bless and have a joyous Christmas!

Stephen, Sarah, Adam and Baby

So much to be thankful for!

Sorry that it's taken so long to update you all on the recent happenings in our lives. We hope that all of you had a Thanksgiving full of fun, food and fantastic fellowship! Ours was an extremely blessed weekend. As always around this time of year, I was reminded of the goodness of our Lord and how He has done exceedingly abundantly beyond what I could ask or think' in my life. I know that I am undeserving of such grace, yet God has chosen to continually shower me with blessings. Not the least of which is choosing to grant us a new addition to our little family. Yes, that's correct. We are expecting baby #2 in June! June 28, 2008 to be exact. We are soooo happy, although a slight bit shocked. :) In case you're wondering, Adam and this new baby will be about 15 months apart. I am 11 weeks along and feeling great! God has been good to me, in that I never experienced morning sickness with either pregnancy. Please pray for us as there are about to be many changes taking place in the next year. Not just the new baby, but a potential move is also something we are looking toward in the next few months. We would love to hear from any of you if you have a chance! Here are just a few newer pics of Adam, as well as one of the new baby: :)

Adam Crawls!

Here's the proof...Adam is crawling! He has been attempting to crawl for a few weeks now. He has been sitting, then sort of tipping over in the direction he would like to go. Well, on Friday, he figured out how to put one hand in front of the other to move a bit further. Then, he figured out how to move his legs. I guess we will have to baby-proof the house now...there's a baby on the loose!

More Video!

OK, we heard a lot from our friends and family about how much they liked the video of Adam. Well, here are three more short clips. Enjoy!
