Is She Showing Yet?

So I am very anxious for Elisha to start showing. I don't know that she really wants all of her clothes to stop fitting, but I really want to be able to see some evidence of this whole pregnancy thing. Some people have told me that we will have a harder time seeing it because we see her everyday, so we decided to post a picture on the first day of every week. Hopefully we will be able to see the progress. So this is the beginning of the sixteenth week. Check back next week, we'll see if anything has grown.

More Halloween!

So we realized that there are no pictures of Jason in the Halloween movie. This is obviously because he was the one with the camera. That was okay, but now that we know that his costume is an award winning costume (He won second place at his work contest), we have to share it with everyone. Unfortunately the picture was taken after many hours of trying not to scratch, so the makeup isn't as bold as it once was.

Halloween

We are trying to make a tradition of having a pumpkin carving party every year before Halloween. This year was really fun. This is a Photostory of everyone showing off their masterpieces.

We're expecting!

This is an assignment Jason did for a writing class after we found out we are expecting:

3 October, 2008

After two years of trying and failing; being told that it isn't possible by a number of doctors. After six months of grueling paperwork, and finally being approved. After countless prayers. An answer comes. The answer we have been hoping for has finally been given. The answer is yes. Elisha is the first to find out. Of course she is flooded with emotions. She wants to tell me in some sweet, special way, but when she sees me the flood-gates open again. All she can think to do is to cry, and beyond that, to apologize. She apologizes for being impatient. She apologizes for her biting behavior. Most of all, she apologizes for forcing me to be there at the end, and the beginning.

I am overwhelmed. It takes me quite awhile to figure out what she is talking about. Once I do; I'm stunned. I didn't expect this. I knew something was coming, but I didn't expect this. I don't know what to do. So, naturally, I apologize. I apologize for making her cry. I apologize for not understanding. I apologize for doubting.
