That's right! Cory and I just found out that we will be adding the newest member of the McLaughlin family sometime in late September! We are so excited! A little nervous, but so super stoked! I have my first appt. on February 26! We should be able to see/hear the heartbeat, so let the countdown begin!
On a sadder (if that's a word..) note ... Boone ran away Monday night and has yet to return. =( We're all pretty bummed, Cory especially. We keep praying that someone will find him and call us and NOT that he's been hit or stolen. Every time the phone rings we jump. Even Ellie knows something is up. She's always been a huge fan of him but yesterday woke up from her nap asking for him. Poor baby. Please help us prey that he is returned to us safe and sound!

9 month recap
I can't believe our baby girl is 20 months tomorrow! WHERE does time go? Walking, talking, running, yelling, picking her nose, putting on her own shoes, a toddler bed. What is next =( I feel like tomorrow she'll be off to college. Well, typical me, hasn't updated in 9 months! I'm terrible. But I'll give a month-by-month recap real fast.
May: Ellie's first birthday (cupcake theme) was a blast, despite the 6" of cottonwood "snow" all over Rooks Park. I made 88 cupcakes and came home from the party with 75 of them *sigh* We BBQ'd and it really was a success!
June: We started cloth diapering (again) and this time for good!
July: (Mommy's)Great Grandpa Tom and Great Grandma Jeanne McKeown's memorial service & big cook out at Grandma Darlene and Grandpa Tom McKeown's for the 4th! Most ALL the McKeowns were there!
The Oregon Coast for 5 days camping with Nana and Papa! Ellie LOVED playing in the ocean! Even though it was cold, she loved the water!
August: Camping trip with Uncle Sam and Uncle Evan at Wallowa Lake!!
September: Another camping trip to Wallowa Lake but this time, with Grampa Tracy, Grama Sarah and Aunties Tiffany & Megan!
October: Mommy started watching a little girl, Maddy! She's only 6 weeks younger than Ellie and they are BEST FRIENDS!
Halloween! Ellie was a bumble bee and went trick-or-treating with Uncle Sammy and Uncle Evan!
November: Yummy Thanksgiving at Nonna and Granite's
December: Christmas tree cutting up Tolgate!
WONDERFUL Christmas! spent with all our families =)
And here we are, almost done with January: We had a great NYE get together at our house! Ellie stayed with Nana and Papa, after they were over for dinner and some Wii!
So ... with the New Year comes resolutions!
Here are mine:
Be thrifty (spend less)
Stay away from dairy (...not going so well)
Stay organized.
Go GreenER ~we already cloth diaper, MOMMY uses reusable grocery bags, trying to conserve energy by using less HOT water (wash machine etc..) and heat, switching to all natural cleaning products, and starting learning to sew to cut back on spending (especially with the diapers)!
Cheers to a happy and healthy 2010!
