BIG NEWS!

Well, our family is growing!
I am sorry if I haven't seen you to tell you - but we are expecting another baby on February 5, 2009!
We are very excited and baby (12 weeks today) and mom are doing well.
This just adds to the pressure to get the house/kitchen/master bedroom finished by the new year!

V-A-C-A-T-I-O-N !!!!

We have just returned from a week long vacation to Marblehead, Ohio.
It's a ferry ride away from Put In Bay & Cedar Point.
Our family of 4 joined the Williams extended family to stay in an 8 bedroom house for the week. We enjoyed the company of my Mom, Dad, and brother Ryan; Uncle Reed; Uncle Bruce & Aunt Bonnie; Cousins - Kate, Chris & Garrett; and Stacie, Ray, Maura and Tristan. (yes, that's 17 people!!)

Here are some photos of our fun-filled week!









These were from our first day at Marblehead Lighthouse.





These two are pics from Lake Erie East Harbor Beach. AKA by Joey as "the Nasty Beach". (Notice his nose in the photo) I forgot how smelly Lake Erie was...
We only did one day at the beach - we stuck with the pool the rest of the time!


Kate got us FREE tickets to Cedar Point - so here are quite a few of the fun we had there!

Joey's First Roller Coaster Ride

We had a great time riding around the park on a TRAIN too!

Joey and Morgan enjoyed their time in the pool each day, especially when Bubba and Mo joined them!







By the end of the week, Joey was jumping off the edge and swimming to the side with just a little assistance. Morgan was able to tread the entire length of the pool, by the last day, thanks to a swim suit with built in floaties that Stacie gave us!

We all had a wonderful time and look forward to family time again next summer!

SHE POOPED!

Within 24 hours of the hair clip entering Morgan's tummy...she easily and without notice POOPED it out. No problems, no worries - she is fine and we are very relieved!
(No photo to include here - but we have saved the hair clip and it's in her baby book - We will expect her to wear it on her wedding day now too!)

Thanks for your thoughts and prayers!
