Dallas Baby Shower

We would like to thank those who attended the shower last weekend. The fellowship and the gifts were fantastic as was the fun baby decor - - thank you Julie!

How we told our Parents we were Pregnant...

We are always giving the folks pictures because we enjoy them. In-order to tell them about our pregnancy we took a picture of us in our flip-flops, an empty flip flops along with our birthday dates. We framed the picture and while at our family reunion we took Patrick's mom and dad aside and showed them the picture.

At first, Carol didn't get it and then her face lit up, she said "Really? Really! You are having a baby!". How exciting it is to share the joy of a new life.

Baby Liam in 4-D

We went a few weeks back to have a 4-D Sonogram at Storkvision in Frisco. It was unbelievable! We saw little Liam for the first time - his lips, cute feet, arms and eyes. What a blessing it is to see him before his official arrival.

Arkansas Baby Shower

We rounded up Alicia's Arkansas gang in Frisco for a baby shower.
In attendance were great friends, from left to right, Della Burrow, Sherry Williams, Graciela Garcia, Hazel Lake, Carol Orender, Diana Grissom, Stephanie Hawks, Dory Thorton, Erin McCroskey, Trina Abraham, Alicia Orender and Amy Fechelkotter.

We had a blast sitting around a fire, telling stories and laughing 'til we cried. After a fun dinner at Campisi's we opened wonderful gifts that will be a delight to us and Liam. Thank you to all who sacrificed, traveled and shared in this great day!

It's a Boy!

Alicia and I found out in October that we were going to have a boy. We wrapped Alicia in "It's a Boy!" ribbon to surprise them.
