4 months to go!

It's hard to believe that it's been a whole month since my last post. As you can see, my belly has gotten quite a bit larger and rounder. Strangers are noticing that I'm pregnant now and that's an exciting feeling. Our little baby boy keeps growing and growing. It seems that the further I get into my pregnancy, the stranger my dreams become...

5 Months Pregnant

I'm officially halfway there! Our sweet little baby boy will be here before we know it! Here are just a couple pictures taken by my friend, Dawn for my 5 month shoot.

It's a....

It's a BOY!!!! We are super excited to finally find out what we are having. He was quite the wiggler when we were doing the ultrasound, but was sure to show us that he is a little boy! He was running on my bladder. No wonder I have to pee so much. Looks like he will be a very active little boy.

First Belly Pic

This picture is just for fun. I thought it was cute!

Well, here it is. My first belly pic. (pardon the crookedness). I am now 18 weeks pregnant!

Wow, how time flies! We find out in a couple weeks if we are having a little boy or little girl.

We both think it's a little boy, but will be ecstatic either way. I'm already scheming up some

cute nursery ideas! I have started to feel the little one move around. Such a weird, but

amazing feeling! We will keep you posted when we find out the sex of the baby...

Oh Boy.... Or Girl

That's right, we have a baby on the way. The official date of arrival is June 4, 2010. We are very excited to bring a new life into this world and can't wait to meet the little guy or gal!

Sneaky Puppy

Look who figured out how to climb onto our super comfy bed! Can't say that I blame her. It's so much more comfortable than the floor. She's lucky that she's so stinkin' cute!

Backpack Outreach

I never really thought of myself as a good writer and surely not a good enough writer to have an article published in a newspaper.... but here it is. Soon, it will be published in the Neighbor to Neighbor newspaper of Clay County. I am honored to be able to share all of the efforts of Canvas Church with our surrounding community. I give all the glory to God!

In preparation for the upcoming school year, members of Canvas Church in Orange Park, FL embarqued on a backpack outreach to help kids in need within the Clay County area. To fulfill this need, Canvas Church along with 99.9 Gator Country hosted a school supplies drive for the community in hopes of gaining enough materials to fill 250 backpacks. Not only did they reach this goal, but they were able to attain enough materials to fully stock 300 backpacks. This event included fun for the entire family including great music broadcasted live by 99.9 Gator Country, face painting, bounce houses and some amazing giveaways for everyone that came out.

The opportunity to sponsor an entire school presented itself. Through this sponsorship, Canvas Church was able to reach a broad spectrum of families within the community. On August 20, members of Canvas Church set up shop in the cafeteria of Grove Park Elementary School for a backpack giveaway. They served this school with several different fun stations for the kids including headband making, face painting, individualized backpack labeling, balloon making courtesy of O2B Kids and much more. The night was a huge success. A need presented itself and Canvas Church along with others within the community stepped up to bless the kids of Grove Park Elementary School.
