Our Second Order!!

Well, we're very excited because yesterday we received our SECOND ORDER!! Yay!! It was through my creative (cheap) advertising, so that was also exciting by itself. We also received our business cards today, so we're expecting Announcing Yours to start booming!

Judah's Birthday Party

Judah had a great time at his birthday party! The weather was a perfect, sunny 80 degrees and the pumpkin patch wasn't too crowded. When we first got there there was signs on the table that said "Happy Birthday Judith." Too funny!!! I guess I should have spelled his name for them.
Other than that the day was perfect. Here are some pictures: (Click any of them to see them larger)

Happy Birthday JUDAH PAUL!!!

Well, today is the big day. Judah is 1 years old. It was one year ago today that we were walking the halls of the hospital, they decided to break my water and an hour and 14 minutes later we had our precious baby boy in our arms.
Judah is the best thing that has happened to us (2nd to Jesus). He has filled out lives with so much joy as we've watched him grow and explore the world. God has given me such a deep revelation of His love through Judah. As I look at him and love him with a love a never knew existed and then to think, God loves me a million times more. Wow, it is beyond my comprehension. Children truly are a blessing from the Lord and I cannot imagine my life without Judah. WE LOVE YOU BABY BOY!!!!

Here I am 8 months pregnant:

Announcing Yours

Well, we FINALLY ordered business cards last night. And, they look freaking awesome, if I do say so myself. This will be great, cheap marketing because we'll be able to go around and put them in local businesses. Since starting AY we've realized that the most difficult part is getting your name out there. And marketing is expensive!!
If you would like some business cards to give out let us know. And remember, we don't only do birth announcements, but also wedding & save the dates, holiday cards, birthday party invitations, etc..
Eric has been hard at work completely redoing the site and it looks great. He's learning html and all that other hard computer stuff and has done quite well with it. There's also tons of new announcements in the "Flavors" gallery. So, check it out!

What We're Up To

Alright, I haven't blogged in awhile, so I'm forcing myself. People ask me a lot "What have you been up to?" or "What's new with you?" The answer is, basically, nothing. Our days are pretty much the same. We wake up, eat breakfast, play, Judah has a nap, wake up, eat lunch, run errands or do chores around the house, Judah has his afternoon nap (and Mommy too sometimes), wake up, Papa comes home, play, eat dinner, go for a walk, take a bath, go to bed. This is pretty much our routine everyday...so, questions like "What's new?" are hard to answer.
With that said, Judah's 6th tooth came in on the 7th of October. His birthday is on Thursday and his birthday party is on Saturday. We're busy getting everything ready for the party and know he'll have a great time. Last Saturday we went to the pumpkin patch (where the party is going to be) with our friends Justin & Jenna and their daughter Elliana. We wanted to check it all out and enjoy it, because we'll be busy during the party. Judah had a GREAT time. He loved looking at the animals, posing with the pumpkins, and it was CDF day, so he go to stand on firetrucks and play in a helicopter. The only thing he wasn't so sure about was the wagon ride. We took LOTS of pictures, so I'll get them developed asap.

Check This Out

I found this website where you can find the sex offenders in your neighborhood. You NEED to check this out if you have kids. If not, you might want to anyway. It's good to be aware, but not to live in fear! http://www.familywatchdog.us/

So Emotional!!

I don't know what is going on with me, but for the past few weeks I have been soooo emotional. I don't know if it's the pregnancy or my baby growing up or a combination of both. Probably the latter. It all started when Eric was giving Judah a bath and I decided to watch a slideshow online of a baby who just turned one. I started bawling and could not stop. I have such mixed emotions about Judah growing up that I didn't really expect to have. I love that he is learning new things everyday, exploring, and his personality coming out more and more. He is such a little social bug and loves interacting with people. And of course I love that he loves Eric and I best. But, he's my BABY. He has grown up so quickly right before my eyes.
Tonight Eric is at cell group and Judah is in bed, so I watched slideshow #2. This one just happens to be of a little girl (Lily) who comes from a Christian family. And, her daddy passed away when she was only a few months old. Ohmygoodness, I was just bawling again for this precious little girl who will grow up without a dad. I pray that she will know her Heavenly Father so intimately at a young age.
So, that's my emotional roller coaster for you. I just have to add...I can't wait to see Judah grow up to be a mighty man of God, a worshipper, a soul winner, mighty warrior & passionate lover just like his Papa. Althought he'll ALWAYS be my baby!!
