Costume Parade

Here are the girls at the costume parade at school. Cydney is a bride and Miranda is a Nebraska cheerleader. Damon didn't attend, too much flu going around.

Damon Justus Spady

Here are the promised pictures. He is a great baby, sleeping and eating well. A great addition to the family

Finally...

We were finally blessed with Damon Justus Spady on October 14 at 9:11 pm. He weighed in at 6 pounds 10 ounces (smaller than we expected) and was 20 1/4 inches long. Cydney adores her baby brother and Miranda is very curious. I will get pictures posted soon when things slow down a little bit.

Still no baby

1 week and 1 day overdue, still no baby. He is growing daily and I am getting nervous. And I can't wait to meet him. Hopefully soon

Still waiting

Well, my due date came and went on the 5th. I am trying to be patient but I have been waiting 9 months to hold this baby boy. Apparently I have a very happy and cozy womb because Miranda didn't want to come out either. I have a doctors appt on friday and we will probably discuss how much longer I will wait. I really want to avoid an induction if I can, but I am getting so uncomfortable. I guess we will just wait and see

Long time

Sorry it has been a very long time since I have been able to make a post. They now block social networking sites at work so I have to find time to do it at home. Since my last post we have pretty much finished the addition. Carpet was put in about 2 weeks ago and we have been finishing up the final details-shower rods, touch up paint, etc. I can't wait to get moved it. The baby;'s furniture is ordered and should be here in early Sept. Once we get the nursery done I will definitely be ready to have this baby.

Summer has been busy with fair and other activities. Cydney did great in 4-H earning a lot of purple ribbons. She did especially well with her puppy. They got Grand Champion Novice obedience and Grand Champion in Agility. She also received a purple in showmanship. She was pretty excited to get a trophy. She also improved a lot in horse 4-H and received blue ribbons in halter and showmanship and received red ribbons in barerels, poles and western pleasure, her first year in all of those events. Sewing got all purples on a pair of PJs and a tie-dyed t-shirt. Her chocolate chip cookies also received a purple. She was sure glad when 4-H was over but sad to see school start.

She is a 4th grader this year and there are a lot of changes-lockers, changing classrooms all day, salad bar, not much recess. But I think she is adjusting just fine.

Still plugging away

We worked on the siding all weekend, working around the rain schedule. We only have about 1/3rd of the front of the house left to go (I will try to get pictures posted soon). The dry wallers are here and have the first coat of mud on. I am planning a painting party for the first weekend of June if anyone is interested. Trent should have all the priming done so all we have to do is the finish coat. No trim, outlets or carpet so it should be pretty easy.
Cydney left to go to her Mother's on Saturday evening. She will be gone for 5 weeks then she comes back just to leave again and go to 4-H camp. She is excited about overnight camp. I think she misses Miranda. She has called every day since she left.
