Party Time

Saturday Jacob went golfing and then we cooked out and celebrated his accomplishments with family and friends. We had a really great weekend and truly appreciate all the presents and support.

Of course no Master's celebration would be complete without the gift of a transformer helmet! So now as we relax and watch Football I leave you with a picture of a very happy Jacob!

Master Jacob

I am happy to let each of you know that we are done with school in our house!!!!! Jacob completed his Master's degree this summer and graduated on Friday night.

The evening started off nervously......for the last month Jacob has been waiting to find out for sure if he was graduating or not. He emailed people, called people, and basically drove himself crazy. Finally this past Wednesday he talked to someone who said oh yeah we mailed you a letter in July but it came back to us I guess we had your address wrong! Evidently they are not familiar with trying again! Anyway back to Friday, all the way to the gym Jacob kept saying I hope my name's on the list. So we walked in and I grabbed a program and we frantically searched for his name......thank goodnes it was there (Ialways knew it would be)! So there we were, Jacob had to go line up and I took on the challenge of saving seats expecting the rest of our family to be there ASAP to help me. Little did I know that would not be the case and instead I was forced to ward off seat stealers for quite some time. I was forced to stick out my belly as far as I could so people would avoid making me mad but there were some very persistent people who wanted my seats. Thank God for the people behind me who helped me to laugh it off and ward off others. Finally everyone showed up and the party started.

The graduates marched in and I noticed that the seats were filling up rather quickly and there were still graduated coming. Turns out they didn't set up enough seats........

The ceremony was nice and pretty quick, although not quick enough for all of our group!

Soon it was Jacob's turn

We are all very proud of Jacob's accomplishments. He is the most driven person I know and when he sets his mind on a "challange" he will complete it.

Ellee's First Pic!

Well I know you've all been waiting...... here is Ellee's first official picture!

We think she looks great in black and white but we can't wait to see her in person!

Girl or Boy?

Well we went to the doctor today and got our first baby pictures! The doctor said that the baby is perfectly healthy and weighs about 9 oz. Our little bundle of joy was very active and moved around the whole time. For the past couple of days Jacob has been talking to the baby and telling him or her that they needed to let us know what they were or they would be grounded as soon as they came out! Well we have a very obedient child because as soon as the technician started looking she said oh...............................

SHE looks GREAT! Don't you love Jacob in Pink! Thanks Macy for the great idea he put it on for the picture just for you.

Here's my lovely belly! We are very excited to start shopping for Elleen (Ellee) very soon. We are also in need of some middle name ideas so feel free to let us know your opinions.
