Hi everyone! We’ve moved the blog to a more memorable address…

See ya there!

Well now that Taylor’s family knows about our baby, you will be seeing posts about the pregnancy. First of all, I think this picture comes first:

It's official!!

First of many belly shots!

I have been pretty sick, which is a good sign! I find that if I snack a lot I don’t get nearly as sick.  My hubby takes such good care of me! He is so supportive!

We had supper with Debbie and Darian on Friday night. It sure was yummy and we really enjoyed our time with them. We stayed the nights at Marc and Tina’s and somehow I didn’t get a picture of them? Anyway, they made me feel at home (of course Taylor felt at home, he lived with them!)  and we had many good conversations. I really appreciated everyone’s warm hospitality!

On Sunday after church we went out to eat with Debbie, Darian and Zach. It sure was fun!

Don't you see a resemblance?!!

Us

Best friends, wow that's tight! Ok, just an inside joke!

Nana and Pa threw us a big party on Saturday evening. They sure put a lot of work into it. The food was delicious and we had lots of fun. And it also made it a perfect time to break the big news to them, that we are expecting! Everyone was VERY excited!!

Napkins

Pretty table setting, the napkins were kerchiefs!

Melon that Pa carved, yummy!

The Hot Springs were so neat. The sign said that they are about 137 degrees. God’s creation is sure fascinating!

There was this row of bath houses that were built in the 20’s and 30’s. People would come to bathe in the water, because there was so many minerals in it they thought it would heal them. One of them is still open for business. We went into the one called Fordyce which is now a museum. It was so neat.

It was very interesting touring the bath house! I love history!

We spent the weekend in Hot Springs with Taylor’s family. We had a wonderful time and made some good memories.

Saturday morning Taylor’s Dad told us we could take his convertible and tour the town. How fun!

The car...

Goodbye!!

Thanks Marc and Tina for the wonderful time with the car!!

We went to the natural dam last week and it sure was pretty! I even enjoyed wading a bit… The water was so clear, who could resist?!
