Family Update

Sorry, no pictures with this post, we'll have some in a few weeks. Jeremie and I are finally going to be blessed with a baby. As of now we're 12 1/2 weeks along, and I'm feeling sick as ever, which stinks that THAT is a good sign.

We're due in February, which should make for an interesting December at the popcorn store. Emotional wreckage occurs that month without hormones, I'll feel really sorry for Jeremie. He might want to stay on the other side of the house. Hopefully my employees won't want to kill me all month.

Thank you for everyone's prayers and best wishes. (Especially Miss Emilie Parker who made it a point to pray for us every night!)

Sailing in the BVI

The whole Fam Damily and the boat. Jeremie even learned that the name of our boat ("Broad Reach") is an actual point of sail on the wind clock.

Picture order - a little off. This is our last day leaving.

Jeremie and I at the helm. Ok, Jeremie at the helm, me relaxing. You can tell that - I'm smiling, and he's serious.

Jeremie's first time on a sailboat. Scouting out the open waters in the British Virgin Islands!

Can't tell if he looks like a pro, or a little goofy.

Jer-Bear sailing for the first time. One of the only times dad (or I) wasn't telling him what to do. He did an awesome job!

Elkhorn Ranch

January we went to Tucson with Julie's family to a dude ranch. We had beautiful weather and a great time!

Colorado Shooting

We had an opportunity to go to my brother's girlfriend's grandfathers farm outside Limon, CO and shoot the new gun my dad just got. Everyone got a chance to shoot the gun and most were able to hit the barrel they were shooting at. They were first shooting at a barrel in the field then they put up a target and tried shooting at that. You always have to know where on a person you hit!!!

Needless to say Jeremie had a lot of fun shooting.

Joe Playing in Snow

Joe playing in the snow with his Daddy.

Christmas Eve Snow Fun

It snowed ALL day in Texas today - after it being in the 70's yesterday. That's Texas weather for ya! We went to dinner in Dallas and came back to about 6 inches of snow against our back door. Once we got Joe to go outside (he only likes the snow if you're playing in it too) he had a blast playing with Jeremie. Hopefully it'll be here tomorrow so we can have a White Christmas!

Joe's Graduation!

Following James and Nattie's advice, we took Joe to Petsmart for some puppy training. We had taught him to sit, shake, and hi-five before we started, so he knew a little bit. He officially graduated beginning classes last Wednesday and we couldn't be prouder. With some motivation he has learned to rollover quite nicely. He even won a contest on the last night! He was the fastest "come when called" out of 5 dogs. 3.6 seconds to get down the shopping aisle. Go Joe!! He starts his intermediate classes next week - can't wait to see what he'll learn in that class.
