surgery

Marshall will be having surgery in the morning and I am so nervous for him. If you think about it, please say a little prayer for him.

Happy Birthday, Daddy

Scott's sister works for the Texas Rangers and arranged for Marshall to play on the field the day we flew in for her wedding weekend. It was the perfect way to burn some little boy energy after a long day of travel.

couponing

In an effort to save money on groceries I have started some serious couponing. Our church had a "Couponing 101" conference that I attended and things started to click. I am still very new at all this couponing stuff but I feel good about the success I have had so far. We make a weekly trip to Publix. Yes, WE, we make it a family trip each week. Marshall loves going to "Puglix." Scott takes both kids in one cart and walks them around the store while I get all the groceries. Since starting couponing I haven't paid more than $1.50 for cereal and I have learned that toothpaste is FREE! I still have a lot to learn but I'm excited to save my family some money by using coupons effectively.

I got all of the groceries in these two pictures for $51.00

Before coupons my total was $130.00. I love watching my total go down as they scan my coupons. It just makes me happy.

2 months

(Lily's 2 month pictures haven't been put on the computer yet, I will get those posted soon.)

We took Lily for her two month appointment yesterday. The best news of all was when the doctor said, "Well...I think she's just perfect." We think so too! Before we went Scott was commenting that he thought she seemed very short, perhaps he was even thinking we had a little person. I have been thinking she's been looking significantly longer lately so we were excited to see how much she has grown.

Stats:

weight: 12 pounds 2.5 ounces (75th percentile)
length: 22 inches (30th percentile)
head: 38.9 centimeters (50th percentile)

So Scott was right, she is on the shorter side. I'm going to go back and check Marshall's 2 month stats when I have an extra few minutes and see how they compare. I know for sure he was over 14 pounds at two months. Two pounds is pretty significant on that little body, she definitely feels more delicate than Marshall did.

We are so grateful for a healthy baby.
