4 Months Of Change
We’re pretty big believers in change, especially after having a second kid. Here are the top ten things that have changed during the past four months in The Boys Family:
10. We lost our Focus…actually, we sold it.
9. Owen is now trained in the ways of the potty.
8. Lucy discovered she loves to put her hands together.
7. In our house, one would now be able to find: 1 Football Helmet, 4 Footballs, 1 Complete Football Uniform, 3 Dolls, a Plethora of Bloomers & lots of bows.
6. Blake cut his hair, then grew it out, then cut it again…then grew it out…
5. Bekah discovered she likes Caffeine Free Pepsi (“Caffeine Free COKE!” says Bekah).
4. Owen now knows what Christmas is all about.
3. Blake and Owen have started a band.
2. Redbox has changed the way we watch movies.
1. Family dinner reservations are now for four.

She’s Coming
That’s right. This week we are looking forward to meeting the newest member of our family – Lucy. Bekah is scheduled to go in for a C-Section on Thursday, September 3rd. Just as it was with Owen, Mom has been preparing our home to receive the baby girl.
First, we had to move Owen out of his room into his new “Big Boy” room. Here’s Owen and Mom watching the Home Depot guys mix the paint for his new room.
Then Dad had to paint the whole room by himself…okay, not really. Actually, Mom and Dad stayed up till 3am finishing Owen’s new paint job (keep in mind Mom’s pregnant).
Then we found a new “Big Boy” bed on the side of the road. It didn’t look too beat up and was only missing half of the springs so we decided to pick it up for Owen…you know, cause we care (just in case your worried, old, nasty beds on the side of the road aren’t usually wrapped in protective plastic).
After a few days of hard work, Owen was ready to move in.
He likes it so much that he gets teary-eyed just thinking about it.
After Owen’s old room was freed up, the girly stuff just poured in. Mom worked hard on making it just right for Lucy. She even made a quilt!
We all think Baby Woosie (as Owen calls her) will enjoy her new surroundings as she settles into being a part of the family.
Mom did a great job (with a ton of help from family and friends) to get ready for Lucy. We ask all of you to be praying this week as we look forward to her arrival. Pray for Bekah as she anticipates being a mother of two. Pray for me as I seek to be a good Dad and helpful Husband during this new stage of life. Pray for Owen and Lucy – most of all that God would make Owen His son and Lucy His daughter through faith in the atoning work of Jesus Christ. Stay tuned for more details….this week is going to fly by!
