Our Little Valentine

"The Works"

We got to enjoy open house at Brynn's school on Friday. We went in for a visit and to watch her complete some of the "works" she has had lessons on at school. It was amazingly fun and wonderful to see all that she has been learning and discovering at Montessori school.

Here is Brynn at WORK!

Baby Blevins @ 11 weeks & 3 days

We thought this was a precious sono pic and wanted to share it with everyone! Baby Blevins looked perfectly healthy and was doing wonderful. The heart rate was 173 bpm and the baby was already trying to suck it's little thumb. We were told we would get another sono with the specialists on Dec. 2nd and they would give us their best guess on the babies gender at that appointment...so we can't wait for that day to arrive to find out what the precious little baby is going to be.

We're Having Another Baby!

In case you haven't heard the news, baby Blevins #2 is on the way! The dr. said things looked healthy and normal at our appointment. The due date is June 3rd, yes my birthday. We seem to just have the timing down perfectly on these due dates. Brynn was due on our wedding anniversary and baby #2 is taking the same approach and picking an extra special day for its arrival. The dr. didn't let Brynn go full term, and he said he would plan the same with this baby as well by inducing a week or two early...I think I will be just fine having to miss those last few weeks of school!

We were very excited to get to have a sono at this appointment even though I am only a few weeks along. It is amazing how rapidly they grow, develop, and change in a few short days. Here is the 1st pic we had of Brynn at 8 weeks 3 days, and also a 1st pic of baby #2 at only 7 weeks and 1 day. The differences in the pictures are so unbelievable.

Brynn at 8 weeks, 3 days

Time To Catch-Up

Well it has been way too long since my last post, but here are the many things that have been happening in our lives over the past few hectic (very hectic) weeks! ENJOY!

Once school started things have been like a whirlwind of events.

1.ARTS FEST 15K RUN

Well we ran in the Sherman Arts Fest 9.3 mile run on Sept. 19th and we both beat our time from last year. Mark and I both received 2nd place in our gender age divisions.

Mark's Time: 1 hr. 28 min. - which was 15 min. off of last years time

Lindsey's Time: 1 hr. 32 min. - which was 11 min. off of last years time



2. MARK'S 28th BIRTHDAY

Mark's birthday was September 21st and we celebrated by having a super fun family dinner at Mamu and Grandad's house. Brynn helped her daddy open all of the presents by making sure he knew what was in them right before he opened them...it was really cute, she would whisper...it's candy and a movie!






3. LAURA'S ACL SURGERY

Well, not to disappoint ya but I didn't think you would want to see the pictures of Laura's knee surgery that the surgeon took, but I do want to report that she is still recovering and doing good. Brynn and I have been down many times to check in and help out!

4. SHERMAN BEARCAT HOMECOMING FOOTBALL GAME

Brynn got all dolled up in her cheerleader outfit and once we got to the game she got her *sparkly* eyes! Thank you Malissa for bringing the goods and thank you Courtney for making Brynn look soooooo pretty! Of course all the girls were there to play with each other, poor ACE he has to deal with all those pretty little girls at every game and no boys to hang out with! Brynn also got to go down with BFF Kaitlyn to get a picture with the BEARCAT!!!!! It was a FUN night!
