Georgia Has a Birthday

Unless she decides to come early....November 5, will be Georgia's Birthday! I will be having another c section delivery so she should be here by 8:00 that morning. We are very excited to have a date so I guess now I should start thinking about getting her room ready! Please keep us in your prayers as we await the arrival of our newest family member!

Pee-Pee in the Potty

Lucas now being the big 3 year old boy that he is, has decided that he would pee-pee in the potty. Not sure if this is because he is tired of wearing pull-ups or the fact that he gets chocolate each time he goes in the potty. For me it would be for the chocolate.

Anyway, this a big development as he has gone the last couple of days without incident. Now if I could just get him to mow the yard and trim the hedges...

New House, New Braunfels, Not so new ER...

This Labor day weekend we headed down to New Braunfels to see my parents new house. After 26 years in Athens, they moved to New Braunfels last year and been living in an apartment. Well last week thier house was completed and we went down to see it. Man, was it nice. Well worth the wait and time in an apartment. In my very humble opinion it is super nice. Nice job Parents.
During our visit with the parents, Stephanie decided to get sick though. Not just a little head cold sick but a major, see what you a had for lunch later that day sick, if you know what I mean. Of course, since my parents are new to town we didn't know any doctors or hospitals to go to. So about 8:30 Sunday night we googled hospitals and found McKeena Memorial. Walking up to the door I could see Stephanie thinking, "I would rather die, then go in there!!!". However, we got into the ER and they shuttled Stephanie up to the Labor & Delivery. Once up there all was good, the nurses were super nice and the rooms very clean. Several bags of IV later we got to leave. The best part about the whole deal was I got a new lawn mowing glass!!!
Oh what a weekend...

Then to top things off, I felt compelled to get sick yesterday and spend the day at home, altenating between bed, bathroom & couch.

Anyway you want to put it Stephanie & I have now been married for 5 years. Go us. It has been a fun time this first five. We had the great blessing of Lucas and are about to add little Georgia to the mix. We have had the privelage to travel and enjoy the world and country. We have owned a home (or two). Bought a car or 3! ok maybe 4. Spent holidays with families that love us and set examples of what a Christian marriage should be. But most of all we have got to spend the past 5 years together doing it all.

Just think what the next 5 has in store!!!!

Lucas - 1....Daddy - 0

Lucas tonight did the unthinkable, he out fished his Dad!!!! Lucas & I went down to the neighborhood pond tonight to spend a little time together before I head out of town for work and he caught a whopper. Yes, he caught the only fish of the night, and to top it all off, he did it all by himself. Well almost, I cast the line out, but he reeled it in. In fact, I wasn't paying much attention, as I had a hook in the water also. He kept yelling, "Daddy I got a fish, Daddy I got a Nemo." Of course he yells this everytime he reels in so I wasn't thinking much about it, until I look over and yep there it is. His very first fish.

So with out further ado, here is the first of hopefully many fish....

Georgia Claire Harrington

I thought I would make it official by posting it on the blog. Lucas' little sister now has a name! He has now added her to his bedtime prayers. "Thank you God for Mommy, Daddy, Ducas (He can't say L's yet) and Georgia Claire, Amen!" Sorry there are no pictures with this post but I just wanted to share with everyone that we had picked a name for our little girl!

Our Big Three Year Old

Well as you can tell from the pictures we had a GREAT third birthday party! I still cannot believe he is really three even though he has reminded me every thirty minutes or so! This was the first year I was brave enough to make his cake. He wanted a Choo Choo cake and I just happened to find a really cute cake mold, so I tested my cake decorating skills. We also had 48 cupcakes! Lucas took over the decorating on those! We had a lot of fun thanks to all of our family and friends for coming over to help us celebrate. I have more really cute pictures of the kids playing that I will try to get on here tomorrow. So keep checking back for more birthday pictures!
