We Got It!

It's official...we are moving November 1!!! Hopefully I will have pictures of it soon!

Afternoon at the Duck Pond

These are pictures from our Labor Day when we took James to the Duck Pond. But, there aren't any pictures with actual ducks because they would not cooperate. I guess they were full from the other kids, because they did not want our bread. James really enjoyed the playground though. He was so excited that he took off running and fell right on his face. Lucky for him the playground has that rubber cushiony floor stuff. But he still scratched up his face above his left eye and his legs and knees pretty good too. He is all boy though, not a single wimper or tear. 

Possible New House!

OK...so this afternoon JJ called me from work to tell me that we needed to go look at a rental house when he got off. A friend of his had just bought this house with the intentions of renting it out, and wanted to show it to us first. We went, we fell in love. It is a 4 bedroom, 2 bathroom house, with a huge backyard and it is COMPLETELY remodeled. Everything in this house is new, floor to ceiling. It is in our price range, and in a great neighborhood. The only problem is, that it's about 2 months too early. If this guy is willing to wait until November 1 for us to move in, then it's perfect. If not, we wait a few more months and hope that something even half this good comes our way. We love the house, and we really want this, mostly more for James than even for ourselves. If it's meant to be, we know it will work out. If not, we wait and continue to save money. Please keep us in your prayers this week. October will be a year that we have lived with Joe & Cindy. We know that there are worse things in life, but we would really like to finally have a home of our own here.

No Problems with the Hurricane

Just wanted to let everyone know that we are all ok here in Shreveport since Hurricane Gustav came through earlier this week. In fact, everything was shut down and it probably would have been fine to go about with our normal lives. We got some rain and wind, but not much of either. On another note, James has been off the bottle for about 2 weeks now, and didn't have any problems with it. We just stopped giving it to him, and he didn't even seem to notice. 

Legos with Daddy

JJ has always loved Legos, and has a pretty extensive collection of the 'big boy' legos. James has had a few sets of legos for quite a while, some in fact from our baby registry before he was even born. His most recent favorite activity has been playing with blocks, and tonight is the first time he has been able to stack the legos by himself. So, James and Daddy had their first playtime with legos, and Daddy was of course, very excited about it. 

It is very difficult to get good pictures right now because James will either stop what he is doing to cheese, or try to grab the camera.
