It's a BOY!!!

That's right! We're having baby #3...boy #2! He is healthy in every way, and we are so blessed and so thankful!!!

Jackson, of course, doesn't have a clue what's going on, but Gracen's had a little adjusting to do. She's been telling us since before she even knew we were pregnant that she was going to have a sister. On the way to the ultrasound, I asked her what we would name the baby if it was a girl. She said, "Dora." I asked her what we would name the baby if it was a boy. She said, "Jackson's a boy baby. This is a sister baby!"

After we left the doctor's office, she continued to say we were having a girl baby. And when I told her it was a boy baby, she said, "I don't want a boy baby. I want a sister!" She was even near tears twice (a bit of a drama queen). But by the end of the day, she was able to excitedly say that she is going to have 2 brothers. It's taking a little time, but she's definitely warming up to the idea!

Pensacola 2011

We just got back from the beach last night about 9 pm. Most of us were ready to get home. Gracen did not want to go home. She said she wanted to go on a trip to Gigi's house. Luckily Gigi is coming this weekend, so hopefully that will suffice! Despite the rain we had for several days, we had a GREAT time! Ready for next year's trip! As the kids get older, every year gets better.

This was Gracen's surprise for her Daddy. We retreived the shells, and she made a rainbow for her Daddy. The darker, bigger shell beside the rainbow is a crab Jeffrey found.
