The Smell of Fall is in the Air

Let's just say that we are finally slowing down from the crazy last year of our life and are now coping with the crazy of this year of our life. Yes, we are expecting... I am about 4.5 months along and am due March 1st. Cadan's birthday, if you remember, is March 2nd. So, needless to say, they will be close in age. I have not been nearly as sick this time as I was with Cadan. Praise the Lord!! Having said that, I am still continuing to lose weight with each doctors visit. I have had a huge improvement this last week to two weeks and am confidant I will make up any weight issues now that I am back to eating normally.

Cadan is getting big...one of his favorite things is ole Shep dog.


He is also getting used to this backpack we found on Craigslist.

Here he is helping Dave uproot this tree. What tree? It is hard to spot now that Sugar has eaten all of the branches off of it... poor little tree...it had no chance.

We went to Gentry farms with the Martins and friend Brooke. It was a blast! We spent the afternoon celebrating the fall festivities. Katrina and I have tried to pack in as much fall fun this year as possible.

We had to do the hay ride...you know, for the kids sake...


Guys, where's the GPS on this thing?

Um, Hope, is it me or is that cow headed straight for us?
Mom, I think we should get one of these!
We found the cutest pumpkin at the pumpkin patch...and for only $5.00!!!



I am not amused!


Going home...


But not before one last family photo.


My Country Tis of Thee...

See you aRound.

Hey there! We are settling into our new place, and getting used to a few other new experiences...like Becca being pregnant with our second...and me getting a new job in downtown Nashville.

Yes, that's right - you didn't misread anything - we're expecting another baby! So excited, slightly overwhelmed, and really looking forward to meeting Baby-H #2.

I got a job as the Web Coordinator for the Gideons International (yes, the folks who place Bibles in hotel rooms worldwide). But there is a lot more to the organization than that. They do deal mainly with Bible distribution, but the core of the Gideon message is sharing Christ. It's a very networked, grassroots organization. For more info., check out the Gideon's link to the right.

Missing you out there. Here are some pics from our house in Spring Hill (10 minutes from the Martins!!):
