SO Much Going On!

And I mean.. SO MUCH. Andy here this time and we've got a much more detailed update coming but we've been horrifically busy lately with a few things, namely A) Moving, B) Business, and oh yea, C) We had our baby!! Surprise! Paul Thomas Goin was born to this Earth on October 6, 2008 weighing in at a very healthy 8 lbs. It was an all natural birth with no pain meds and not in a hospital but in a birthing center with a midwife. Lea pushed with my coaching and support for 14 minutes and 1 hour after we arrived, Paul was born.

It was a magnificent experience for all of us and I encourage any man and woman planning on having a child to at least look into this opportunity. You only live once and with your children, we feel building a tight bond from the get-go is *very* important and it's something that you will never forget. Like everything in life, the pain and work you put into it only makes the overall result shine that much brighter and we most definitely feel close to Little Mister Paul already.

ANNNNYWAYYYSS.. I can ramble on about it all day. We've also moved about 20 miles south from where we used to live to Denton which is where I was born and raised. It's funny how hometowns will suck you back in like a strong magnet. I do love this town though. We live right in the smack dab of every shopping store, bank, mall, park, gas station, and things we used to drive 3-4 times a week here to enjoy. We had Paul on the 6th and moved on the 10th so as you might guess, we're EXHAUSTED.

Be sure to check out our October pictures in our Picasa album as we've updated it tonight.

Still no Baby - Playing Catch up

No baby yet. Officially due tomorrow. But we are hoping it will come tonight! Heck we hope that every night! I cannot wait to meet this little one. Last night we thought it was time again for the 3rd time but still no real action. I am glad for all the prelabor in hopes that it means the actual labor will be shorter! :D So keep sending on the labor vibes and hoping and wishing and praying with us that this baby is done baking real soon.

Also we move in less than a week! So yeah, we're busy

Today is Andrew's second birthday! We're taking him to the zoo in Gainseville. I can't wait - I'm about to go wake his little tush up! So to celebrate here are some old videos I haven't had the time to get uploaded until now:





Sorry about the sneezing


This is funny








I still have more to do to get totally caught up and of course there're pics on the cam right now. And then after teh big birthday today we'll have a ton too. But hey, at least I'mmaking some progress! ;)
