Meanwhile I can at least put up a few pictures. We're having a nice summer so far that's going quickly. It's either super busy or nice and slow, rarely in between!
Sam has spent the last week going to another church's VBS where he could play with his friends and learn to be a super hero for God! It was at a Baptist Church and made me nostalgic....might have to start looking for a new church soon because ours is just stagnant without a pastor right now, and unfortunately reverting to some things that don't suit a growing church!
Meanwhile, we've also started Sam in Tae Kwon Do classes to try and teach him self-control and self-discipline. So far I can see a real potential, but every class is a struggle just to get him out on the mat and participating!
Elizabeth is just growing like mad lately. She's working on rolling over and has done so from front to back so far. She's completely bypassed finding her hands and has gone straight to her feet. She's also eating cereal like a big girl and doing well! So glad my babies are healthy eaters. The church nursery put her in an exersaucer on Sunday and she loved it! I thought she wasn't ready yet, but I've pulled out Sam's old one and she'll be in it this afternoon.
I've been feeling a lot better as long as I take it easy. We had a HUGE party here Sunday night, about 40-60 people, in 102 degree heat, but it went well and most of the planning was done by Brian's lieutenants, so I got to mostly relax. :) I'm looking forward to my mom coming to visit soon so I can make some serious headway on preparing for baby boy, who is still nameless. I'm waiting for inspiration to strike. :) We've also decided to go with a scheduled C-section for delivery, which is a somewhat wild decision if you know me and my pro-natural birth stance. But even I have to deal with reality sometimes, and the reality is I'm not capable of natural births because of my medical history. Brian and I have decided the safest thing for baby boy and our other two is for Mommy to not risk pre-eclampsia and a dangerous VBAC just to prove to herself she can do it. I need to get this baby safely out without all the drama of Sam's scary delivery and get home to my kids. I'm not sure I'm exactly at peace with my decision, but I do think its the best for my situation.
My brother and his wife welcomed baby boy #2 on Sunday! Desmond "Desi" Gregory Bullard is home now and doing great. I can't wait to go down and see him. Our family is so blessed with all these nephews and a niece, and cousins are so awesome. I love that they're all so close in age and family moments will be all the more special now.
Brian is getting into the crazy routines of being home and his command again. He's really struggling with his career choices right now and is seriously considering ditching the FAO idea. Keep us in your prayers as he makes some big decisions in the coming months.
Hopefully I'll get this video issue worked out soon and can try and post these adorable videos! Until then...

So, are you going to plan to have baby boy on my birthday?
What is an FAO? Not sure we had those in the 50's Navy. Don't get to use acronyms much anymore.
Mom, it's possible. We'll see what happens when it comes time to schedule. :)
Mrs. A, FAO stands for Foreign Area Officer and is a liaison job between the Army and whatever country they send you to.
