To recap 2007...its been pretty sweet. Well, at least the last half was! The first half I was CONSTANTLY sick in one form or another and Cary just went with it. LOL. Poor guy.
We had many exciting adventures...
We had many exciting adventures...
*Ultrasounds! At 10 weeks pregnant, we heard Baby V's heartbeat. At week 20, we were supposed to find out who we had...McKinley decided otherwise and strategically placed his umbillical cord between his legs, forcing Mommy & Daddy-to-be to wait four more weeks. AGONY. Very soon though, we found out we were having our baby boy! Yay! Pictured is one of the AWESOME shots taken during our 4D sonogram. It really looks like McKinley too!
*Weekend getaways and good times! Living up the last few months as 'just the two of us', we headed off to many fun destinations; Edinburgh shopping trips, St. Louis Cardinals games, and many trips to Indy's HUGE BRU (Babies R Us) just to name a few. We had so much fun together, as always. And we had a total blast at this year's 
Queen's Ball. As the pregnant one of the bunch, I was officially the D.D. (Designated Driver).
*Play Ball! Cary spent much of the spring coaching baseball again, though this time he only signed on as assistant because of the pregnancy. He had a lot of fun and did so well, as always. I hope he continues at this, he is an excellent role model to these young boys.
*School's out! Proudly, I finished up my core studies through Indiana Wesleyan. Now, if they would just get me through this last stupid class...ugh.
*Baby Preparations! Gosh, did we have fun putting McKinley's nursery together. I'm so proud of how it turned out, its the 'funnest' room in the house. LOL - How funny it must have been to see the two of us working around my belly to configure the furniture and get the stripes painted! Good times! Also along the 'prep' line, I had a few showers that were SO much fun!
In the end, we battled Gestational Diabetes, twice daily insulin shots and a constant array of illnesses (eye infections, upper respiratory infections, carpal tunnel, etc.) through the 9 month duration, but the result was FANTASTIC! 
*Celebrate! Cary and I celebrated 8 great years together in February and 3 wonderful years of marriage in October.
*The arrival of a brand new title! Parents! What a year to become parents! McKinley arrived on FRIDAY THE THIRTEENTH of July. Luckiest day of our lives! After too many hours or labor to mention, we ended up delivering via C-section at a very early 5:26 a.m. That's something worth waking up early for!*Sharing Family Memories! Since then, everything has been captured on our blog. We've had a beautiful baptism, 1st Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas, plus many more fun and random moments to be so thankful for.
Bottom line? This year, we have certainly been blessed. We all look forward to a great year and wish all of you the very same.
Happy New Year! See ya in '08!
Lynn, Cary & McKinley
