Bailey and Baby

Well, yet another week has gone by. That brings us one week closer to the end of the first trimester and hopefully the end of the "morning" sickness. On Tuesday, we heard something that neither of us had heard before that made it all worth it...the baby's heartbeat. It was so fast that it was almost like the sound of hummingbird wings. It was the most amazing sound. It also made the fact that we are having a baby so much more real. Thank goodness all this puking isn't for nothing!

Another highlight of the week included skits that the youth here performed before chapel on Thursday night. Joe and Clay did an absolutely hysterical rendition of Abbot and Costello's "Who's on First". Most of the audience were in tears by the time they were finished. Yet another comedic act was "Fairytale CSI" in which granny, played by Scottie, pulled an undercover scheme with the wolf, played by DJ, to eat Little Red Riding Hood, played by Jessica. Eventually they were busted and the wolf also confessed to eating the Three Little Pigs. The final line went something like, "Who can blame a guy for breaking his diet when there is bacon involved." The kids did awesome and it showed them that all their hard work really did pay off on performance night.

Bailey continues to be a constant source of amusement for us both. As you can see, he is no longer our "little" Bailey. He loves attention just like any other pooch. A few of his favorite pastimes are playing with Kenya (Meredith and Amos' lab), swimming in the creek, and eating cow pooh. Yes, I know, the last one is disgusting but for whatever reason if he is allowed to wander into the pasture that is the first thing he goes for. Overall, he is a good dog and a great addition to our family.
