We had a great day for boating the other day, so we took full advantage of it and tried to fill the freezer :) Dallas was playing around with his new camera that he got for his b-day (Olympus digital waterproof/shockproof).
No, this cute little turtle wasn't for our freezer :) Just our photo album. Joss and I were driving the boat, so Akeem was our videographer of this next segment :) Thought you might like to see how he does it!That's what we call a crawfish (also a spiny lobster)--YUMMY!! Yes, Dallas is wearing a wet suit in the Bahamas-- believe it or not... the water and temps are pretty "chilly" (for down here) right now. The water is about 74, and the day time temps this week has been around 68. Personally, I think it feels wonderful right now. If you're coming down for a week on the water though it might be a little chilly. We've got a couple groups out this week, so hopefully they will still have a good time. Considering they are coming from snow, I don't think it will be hard.
After day in the boat--- Joss' little cheeks were a bit rosey. He was having so much fun on the boat the other day helping me drive and playing with the anchor ropes. He had a ton of fun on this little island we stopped at to clean the fish too.
He's so sweet when he's playing with his toys. You can just see the wheels spinning in his head trying to take everything in.
He's just so darn sweet and cute! He's going to make a great big brother. Yep, you heard right. I've told most of you already, but for those of you that don't know... Joss is going to have a brother or sister sometime in August or September! I really have no idea how far along I am. I'm probably around 9 weeks (give or take a few)...so hopefully I'll find out as I go to my doctor's visits.
Speaking of which--- my doctor's appointments are going to be quite the tale as this progresses on. I'm going to the government clinic down here for my routine visits and meeting mostly with the head nurse. I'll see the doctor a little later, I think. I will have to fly to Nassau for my ultrasound and the actual delivery. Andy and Nancy are working on finding me and April (Dallas' sister who is due in June) great doctors over there. I wish I could bring my doctor from Auburn down here-- I'm really going to miss him through this.
The ladies at the clinic were pretty grumpy the other day, and they usually are, so I've decided that my next appointment (which is right after Valentine's Day) I will take them some cookies and hope to get on their good side. I'll be seeing them a lot over the next couple months, and I'll be darned if they're gonna act like ole bitty's that entire time.
We're really excited about giving Joss a play buddy, but part of me also fees really guilty. I LOVE this little guy with all my heart, and I can't imagine having to split my time with another little one. But then I remind myself that I had no idea how much I would love Joss and that I couldn't imagine that at first, and it's going to be TWICE as much love and joy in my life.
Well, I'm going to go get some sleep! I've got another fun day with my boys tomorrow. :) I hope you guys don't mind the long blogs--- this is my "journal-ish" thing these days...
Take care all!

Congratulations!!! We'll be delivering our babies around the same time, it sounds like. I'm curious to know your due date. Mine is September 10th.
You're going to have this mommy business down pat. And Joss will be a great big brother, for sure.
Get some rest!
We love you.
I think coming to see Grammy would be a good place for Joss "to go!"
What a beautiful smile!!!
Rest when you can and take good care of yourself :0)
Love, Grammy CC
Congrats on the new little one coming. That's awesome!
Looks like the three of you are having way too much fun right now though!
We were throwing around the idea of late this year...how's that sound?
You'll probably feel anxious about adding another one the whole pregnancy, at least I did with my 2nd. I was so worried that the new baby would change my relationship with my 1st, and it did. It took a while to adjust, but I certainly don't love one more than the other- well, maybe on some days.... hahaha! But every time I see them playing and laughing together or every time I call and talk with my sisters, I realize that a sibling is one of the best gifts I could have given my girls! :)
