THE MOST RECENT NEWS ON THE BABY FRONT...

Well, we had our ultra-sound done this week and all was well! Baby Alyson's growing at the right rate, my weight was good, the baby's measurements were just right and all of the other numbers were great!
I'll see my last 'emergency' doctor in the medical complex "tour" in two weeks and the following week, I'll see my own doctor, again. At which point, we should be able to find out just when little Aly will be arriving! It could just be at the end of this month or on her late-great-Grandpa Smith's birthday... We are just busy playing the waiting game for a bit longer before finding out exactly what's going on! It won't be long now though, that's for sure!
We'll do our best to post another BLOG here as soon as possible.
Below you'll find a few pictures of Aly's "almost completed" nursery...
We would like to wish everyone a great week - Happy Fall, ya'll!

Where does the time go???

WOW! WHERE DOES THE TIME GO???
Well, needless to say, we are tryng to "beat" the system this week and actually get AHEAD of it for a change! It's the end of the week already... Thursday and we haven't had time to update, BLOG or anything else.
Between doctor visits, work and family affairs we haven't anything that would actually be considered NEW-news, though!
Everything is going great with myself and the baby, Greg is still enjoying his new job and we're both very anxious to get Alyson Dawn's nursery ready! In addition to getting all the 'packing' done for that exciting up-coming trip to the hospital!
Well try to do our best to 'catch up' with BLOGSPOT as we find the time...
BTW! Have you had a chance to click on our complete profile (to your right) or checked out our other 'former' sites, yet?
Take care and have a GREAT week, everyone!

THANK YOU, AGAIN FOR BEING SOME OF THE BEST FRIENDS IN THE WORLD!!! WE CAN'T WAIT TO INTRODUCE YA'LL TO OUR LITTLE BUNDLE OF JOY REAL SOON! LOVE TO ALL!!!

Welcome to "Penn Palz" BLOGSPOT

We are happy you have stopped by to visit and even happier to have you for a "penn pal". Here's a little about us... I say Greg is a wonderful husband and I'm more than happy to be his wife. We live right in the heartland of the United States better known as Indiana. Though my choice would be to continue claiming my southern roots in Louisiana!!! Guess I'm just a Rebel that way!
WE HAVE WONDERFUL NEWS!!! We're expecting a new bundle of joy very soon! We are more than 6 months along now and just thrilled to pieces!!! We're anxiously awaiting ALYSON DAWN's (AKA "Little Pooh's") arrival!!! She'll be named after Shelly's late-Grandfather - Alson, her own Uncle Mark-(Alson) and Shelly's Great-Grandmother - Alice) and she'll share her Mommy's middle name - Dawn.
We already have 2 great kids, Wesley & Whitley, that we love dearly and are so proud of! They're each unique and awesome in many ways. The four of us are very excited to see ALYSON DAWN in the flesh!
We feel we each have the best parents you can find anywhere! They've taught us MANY life lessons - we also feel we'll never be able to repay them for those lessons! We realize that God has truly blessed our family - - - beyond words and we're forever grateful!
We are both very involved in Children's Ministries, Bible Study/S.S. and the Music Department of our local Church, Southside Nazarene. We know we wouldn't make it through life without God, one other, our family and friends!
Our family moto is to live every day to the fullest and thank God for His many blessings!

Again, WELCOME TO OUR SITE!
