Tallahasee Weekend-Emory's Birthday and Baptism

We had a wonderful weekend in Tallahasse for Emory's birthday and baptism celebration. The weather was really nice-warm but not humid and cool in the shade. We had a great time hanging out on Ben and Kim's new deck on Sat with lots of friends and family. Ben smoked some delicious ribs and chicken, the kids played in the pool, and there was lots of football to watch! On Sunday, we all went to church for Emory's baptism and then to MaClay Gardens State Park for her first birthday party. The weekend was over to quickly-We must figure out how to get those Zierden's north!!

Max's First Day of School and We're Having a Girl!

Max had a great first week of school at the Y. He loves going and seems to be doing really well. He doesn't even look back at me when he runs through the door in the morning! It helps that his friend Alaina is in his class.

Our other big news is that we are having a girl and I have included her first picture! The sonagam went well. She is an active little one-we saw her moving, waving her hands, and even putting her foot in near her mouth at one point. We are hopeful that our due date may be moved to sooner in January based on her measurements but I won't see the dr again until Oct.
