Family car!

Well, with our growing family we decided it was time for a bigger car. We had our little old corolla that we loved, but squeezing all of our things and a baby in there was going to be a challenge! So we went and made our first purchase for the new family. A new Honda Element! Its super! It will be big enough for us until we have baby #3, which will be a few years from now. But we love so much about it that its more rugged and we can enjoy our outdoor lifestyle with our bikes and gear etc, not to mention the plethora of musical instruments that we cart around! So here's a picture from Honda's website, because Tony has the camera with him at work today. More to come!

Baby countown!!

Now we can all see a visual of where baby is on its growth chart, and how much longer mommy and daddy have to suffer through until we can see our baby!

13 weeks!!

Hi Hello everyone! Today is our 13 week mark! Our baby is the size of a peach! Baby has grown so much so fast! Its amazing! Today was going to be our second pre-natal visit, but there are some things with insurance that are STILL getting in order! Man! So now we have to wait until next Tuesday! But we've had a great past 2 weeks. We went to the beach house with the Burgin family 2 weeks ago, and had such a great time! I cant wait until we can take baby there and show baby all about mommy's favorite place! There are pictures of that posted above. Also, my wonderful husband brought me roses for our 4 month anniversary. A wonderful friend from Warner Pacific gave us some wonderful things for baby! Some beautiful things that we were planning on buying for baby, but God takes such good care of His children. We already have almost all of the baby furniture and "appliances" we will need, and we haven't purchased any of it! We're so blessed. My tummy sure is growing! I don't fit into any of my normal clothes! But its fun going to maternity stores. I've always thought maternity clothes are so cute, so now I get to wear some. Not 100% maternity clothes yet, but am definitely growing fast! The funny part is, I've lost 6 pounds! So parts of my old clothes are loose, and only one part of my body is growing! My tummy, because of our little peach! Tummy pictures are coming this week!

Our car's starter went out last week. So that is not fun at all! Its a good thing we already had decided its time for a little bigger car. Our little old corolla is pretty teenie,and getting kinda tired! So we're in the process of moving on up to a more "car seat" friendly car. Not to mention our bikes and instruments that we are always hauling around! So be praying for that.

So, that's the update for now! More to come of course! Thanks everyone for your great support!

Love,

Gabriel and Sophia

First baby things!

Here are pictures of out first baby things! Yesterday we put together the bassinet that a couple from our church bought us. (the church is obviously very excited!) And this is a picture of it. We love it because its a play yard, a bassinet, and a changing table all in one. And when baby gets bigger, we'll take off the bassinet insert, and its a play yard! So we're blessed to have it! And its organic cotton! :-) The other picture is of me and the first onesie we bought for baby! Its teenie! I love it, just thinking about our little baby fitting in there is mind blowing! So enjoy the pictures!

We love you all, and wish you were all here with us!

Sophia and Gabriel (and baby too!)
