BIG NEWS!

Hi Everyone,
Well, I had to post our big news... we're expecting another baby in October! And since a lot of our family (and friends) are checking our blog, we figured this would be a good way to spread the news. And, although the pregnancy wasn't "planned" (and we're still in shock, especially Paul :) but it's sinking in a little more every day), we feel very blessed. We figured God knows what he's doing so all of your thoughts and prayers will be appreciated.

I've been to the doctor and everything is going well and the baby looks (and sounds - I heard the heartbeat during my ultrasound on Friday) great. Oh, and it's only one baby this time. We knew God had a sense of humor but he's not that funny :) ! I think two would have sent both of us over the edge :) literally.

Please check back for updates and more pictures. I'll try to get the ultrasound picture scanned (if I can) and post it, too, so you can see our newest "munchkin."

Keep us in your prayers.
Love,
Marie

More news...

Hi Everyone,
Just wanted all of you to know that the boys are continuing to progress. Logan is now scooting around the furniture and standing and climbing on everything. Jordan is right behind him. Both of them are having a little trouble getting down once they get up, but they're doing well.

We also are done with bottles! I'm so happy! I thought it would be harder but to tell you the truth it was a piece of cake. The boys were never allowed to play with their bottles. They were just a means to get their milk. So now that they have their sippy cups, it's the same thing. They don't miss the bottles at all so I packed them all away.

Sure hope you check back soon, I will be adding some more pictures... they got their fourth haircut on Sunday (they have hair like their mommy). Can't wait to post those pictures. They cried like we were cutting off their heads instead of their hair. It was sort of funny.

That night, we went out to dinner and Jordan started drinking out of a straw. Logan was more interested in play with it than drinking from it, but we're working on it. The fun never ends!

Love,
M.

Big Strides for the Brown Boys

Hi Everyone,
Welcome back to our website... as you can see, I've changed a lot of our pictures and added a few, too.

Today, March 2nd, is Logan and Jordan's 18 month birthday. Can you believe how time flies? I sure can't :)

We've had a very exciting few days. Jordan started standing on his own Friday night. We kept saying to each other "one of these days he's going to do it and they'll be no stopping him." Well, one of those days is here! He's pulling himself up on everything. God help me!

As for Logan, well, he's been crawling all over the place and pulling himself up for quite sometime. However, he recently learned how to give "high five" and clap compliments of his Daddy.

We're very proud of their progress. Can you tell?

When you think that they started out at less than four pounds each, it's amazing how far they've come, how much they've grown, and how much they've learned. What a true blessing it is for me to witness it all. I wouldn't trade one second of my time with them for anything.

I'm always glad to share their progress with everyone... so keep checking back with us.
Love,
M.
