Take a guess!

James and I went to our 16 week appointment yesterday and scheduled the "Big One" - ultrasound, that is! On June 11th we'll be able to find out the sex of our Baby! We're super excited! We want to know what all of you think.... will Baby Pace be a boy or a girl? Go ahead, cast your vote!

Here are some clues...

• I was sick (knock on wood!) until about 15 weeks, 5 days.... but am feeling much, much better now. The sickness was mostly nausea, but not too much vomiting. I had a really hard time eating anything at all for about two months. Thus, James claims that little pipsqueak is starving.

• The only thing I really like to eat/drink right now is water and Otter Pops.

• My love for chocolate and Pepsi is gone - completely. I really, really want to like it again, but any time I attempt to eat either of these things I get sick. :(

• I have two sisters and no brothers, James has two sisters and two brothers. (Not that any of this matters, but it gives you a little more insight!)

• James really wants a boy, but thinks baby is a girl because every time we've gone to the doctor, and the last ultrasound, they both told us that baby is really, really active - he thinks girls are much more hyper than boys. Good reasoning, I suppose. I have NO Mother's Intuition. My guess is as good as any of yours!

Two months has passed since Granpa Brown passed away. I took some time out of my regular schedule to check out the pictures from his funeral and graveside, and realized how quickly time passes.... seems like these images came from just a few hours ago, definitely not a few months ago.

Here are some of my favorites:

The day of the funeral the weather was perfect, and that hardly ever happens in Wayne County - especially in March. So peaceful.

Mo took Granpa for his "last ride" to the cemetery. Of course the ride wouldn't have been complete without the "train horn" salute upon departure - what an amazing tribute to an amazing man.

The flowers - tons of flowers, were all gorgeous. This arrangement was a favorite and by far the most popular with the little ones who were completely envious of the dozer. Especially Ryland - he asked a dozen times (during the funeral, mind you) if he could just go up and get that dozer - really fast? Thanks to Aunt Nadine and family for this winner!

Albert, Michael (aka - my handsome Dad!), and Ellis.






And probably my most favorite of the day.... My Dad trying to explain to Kinley what's going on, and that Grandpa Great is in Heaven now. She's way too smart, and asks way too many questions for a two year old.
