Memorable Memorial Day!

What excitement there is in seeing and hearing your baby's heartbeat for the first time.

As of this mornig, we're blessed to have experienced that joy THREE times now. Yes, we are pregnant with our third child! He/she will debut in late December, and we couldn't be more thrilled.

God's timing is beautiful.

Free Money

Seeing as though I've got about three readers, one of which is my mom, I'm sure this post isn't worth much.

Seriously, you should try out Diapers.com. With fast, free shipping for a purchase of $49 or more, why leave the comforts of your home for anything baby related? You can buy diapers, wipes, lotion, soap, books, clothing, bottles, pacifiers, toys, etc. For those of you who might not have kids (hint, hint mom), you can purchase gift certificates through them, too, for those people you know who do have young kids!

If you place a new order using my referral code by May 25th, we'll both benefit. As a first-time purchaser, you'll get $10 off your first order, and I'll get a credit for referring a new friend. Then once you become a customer, you can refer your friends and earn credits, too. They even have an opportunity to redeem your coupons through them, too!

Even if you only order once to try it out, what does it hurt? You'll instantly get $10 off your first order!

Head on over to Diapers.com, place your order, and include my referral code, JUMX8787, before you checkout. It's that easy!

Then let me know what you thought about it!

18 months

From this...

...to this


Our sweet Ella girl is 18 months old! It's hard to believe how quickly time flies.

At 18 months, Ella...
*eats very well with utensils and still has a healthy appetite. (See chocolate donut picture above!)
*sleeps 12 hours at night and takes one mid-afternoon nap for about 2 hours.
*always sleeps with a paci and her blankie.
*says some words besides family members' names: Amen, backpack, foul ball, car, shoe.
*is cutting three molars at once, which makes her nose drip like a faucet!
*loves to play with Nolan.
*is becoming quite vocal and independent.
*will squeeze my neck with the most wonderful hug when she wants to cuddle.
*makes some of the silliest faces!
*loves wearing bracelets and necklaces.
*has a smile that will melt your heart!

Ella, our lady bug, you are such a delight! You put joy in our hearts that's indescribable. We love you so much! Mommy and Daddy

Mother's Day 2009

Mom, you're an inspiration and an example to follow. I cherish our relationship, and I'm so grateful you're my best friend. Thank you!

I love being a mom, and I thank God for these beautiful children!



Happy Mother's Day!
