Our Lil' Experience

Tuesday, July 7, 2009

I may have put up a video too soon.

Sorry to be break the news through a blog post, but yesterday we miscarried. I've cried a lot and now I feel much better. We accept God's plan and have faith that all will be well and we will yet be blessed with a little one according to His timing. We want to thank all those that have called, offered service, babysat, etc. We truly have felt an outpouring of love during this hard time and in a strange way, we feel more blessed than even. We'll update you on any future news.

The Latest News

I have finally put more on the blog! Are you proud? If I can figure it out, I have a sweet video of Lilly puking in Joel's mouth and a video of Lilly's first day sitting up all by herself! I am having problems with downloading them, so check later for updates.
Joel just got two new jobs last week. He now works at Hard Hat (a restaurant), as a server, and with a Realtor doing everything from Designing to yard work. He likes both jobs and now is even busier with his 10 credits at school on top of it all.
I just sold my first batch of baby bracelets. Joel designed the packaging and logo and we are researching how to best go about getting our website up and running. The business is called Baby Nectar. I sold a bunch of my bracelets to a new store in town called Bun in the Oven and they will soon sell my bracelets on their website, too.
We have 12 candy machines right now and Joel wants to buy 20 more in the near future. I'm not sure if you realize how much candy that is. It is a lot, believe me.
Lilly just learned to sit up by herself last week. When I lay her on the floor, she kicks her legs like mad, so I think she'll want to crawl soon. Oh, and we took her swimming and she worships the water.
