Check out the Smith Family Blog

Kara Smith and I have been best friends since high school and she knows me inside and out. She posted some great pictures of us and the sweetest message on her site. Thank you Kara Gail! I love you!

Tad has toes!

We had our 9 1/2 week checkup today and with the 3-D sonogram, you could see Tad's little toes. I started laughing when they showed me and that made baby Tad started moving around. We could see Tad wiggling on the ultra-sound. This was our last visit to Dr. Nackley. We have now graduated back to the regular OBGYN. I will be forever grateful to the wonderful people at the Center for Assisted Reproduction. They were always so sweet, so honest, very aggressive and just as surprised and blessed as we were that this baby was created without their help.

Valentine's Dinner

Me and Whit
the Slaughter's and Gerbrandt's

We had our second annual Sunday School class Valentine's Dinner at Terelli's this year. Nine couples came dressed to kill as we dined on fabulous Italian food. I didn't take very many pictures, so you'll have to visit the Cox Family blog for even more. It was a great evening of fun and fellowship, thank you Whitney and Erika for arranging everything.

Happy Valentines Day! Baby Shull is coming!!!!

Ok, God is wonderful and amazing and I've known that for years but have experienced it to the fullest recently. As most of you know, after 13 months, 6 Intrauterine Inseminations, over 100 injections, 2 Invitro Fertilization consultations and a heartbreaking miscarriage, God decided to give us a miracle on his own time. We are so blessed to be due with a baby on September 21. When we were least expecting it and not even trying, we got our baby. "Every good and perfect gift is from above..." James 1:17. Thank you for your prayers and encouragement during this past year. We have had two very successful sonograms, seen two little legs, two arms, a torso and a head, and we've heard a very strong heartbeat. We love you all! Andrew, Shay and Baby Shull

Congratulations Andrew!!!

Andrew hates when I refer to his hometown as Neck City...but the city limit sign is in his front yard! He swears that the line starts after his house...we are happy to be there no matter what you call it.

This is actually the jersey he wore while playing...almost 10 years ago!

Andrew is the 10th person in the histrory of the school to have his jersey retired. It is a mixture of boy and girl athletes from football, volleyball to basketball. It is a real honor and his jersey will now hang in this hallway.

Back home with Tulip in her new sweater

This was a very special weekend. Webb City High School honored Andrew by retiring his high school football jersey. This is a very rare honor for this championship football team. They have won 6 State Championships since 1992, so it's a team full of great athletes. Mom, Dad, Andrew and I all headed up to Missouri for a fun weekend at the farm. The jersey retiring ceremony was really special. Thank you Jon, Gretch and Brode for driving down after work. Then on Saturday, we did lots of shopping and finished off the night with a hayride, bonfire and s'mores. Cheryll and Steve spoiled us rotten. Thank you so much! I feel so blessed to have such a Godly husband, so it's just icing on the cake that he rocks as an athlete too. Love you babe!
