April Update

This month has been chaotic to say the least, but I am so glad things are finally starting to slow down....for at least a few months! We moved to Dothan on March 30th and are loving our new home! It's less than 15 minutes from Rehobeth High School but not in the busy part of the city. We both miss living out in the country but understand that this little sacrifice of moving into a fairly large city is all part of it. So here we are...all moved in and patiently awaiting the arrival of our baby girl, and football season of course!

Marcus has been super busy at work and I have been loving my time at home with Brock. It's amazing what I can actually accomplish being home all day. My clothes stay (mostly) washed, dishes stay clean, and I cook supper most nights of the week. I even have time to get up, cook breakfast, and take it to the school for Marcus and the other coaches a couple of days a week. And of course Brock loves going with me to "daddy's house" as he calls it! :) Before our move to Dothan and my resignation from my job in Andalusia, I barely had time to read Brock his favorite books or steal some snuggle time with him. This move has truly been a blessing for our family.

A little update on baby #2: Things have been going great and we are over halfway there...almost 24 weeks to be exact! An increased appetite and those lovely cravings have definitely kicked in over the past few weeks. My favorites: fresh strawberries and Lay's classic potato chips. At least one is healthy, right? :) She is moving around quite a bit (especially after a big meal), and Marcus can feel her moving a lot at this point in my pregnancy. I'm sure she now hears her big brother talking up a storm, and can't help but be startled!

We did, after much discussion, decide to slightly change our little girl's name. We had originally picked out the name Saralyn Kate...I had this name picked out since I was 15. However, Marcus came home Sunday night after hearing a message on "God's Amazing Grace". His favorite song has always been "Amazing Grace" and he said he would love to have the meaning of it in our little girl's name. So, it's official. Our baby girl's name will now be Saralyn Grace Taylor. We will more than likely call her Sara Grace. :)

And for viewing pleasure....one of my most recent proud mommy moments: Brock's worship segment on Easter Sunday :)
