This is our modern day baby book! It is our prayer that years from now, Zeke and Adalynn will look back at the details of this blog and understand just how much we looked forward to meeting them and love them!

Berry Patch Farms


I couldn't resist comparing these adorable "pumpkin" pictures of our little man.  I can't believe how quickly he is growing and changing.  We are so thankful for him and can't wait for him to become a big brother!

We decided at the last minute to go to Berry Patch Farms in Woodstock, GA.  We headed there this morning so that Zeke could pick out a pumpkin (a baby one)!  They had hayrides, but we just enjoyed walking around the property on such a beautiful Georgia day.







It is hard to believe that next year, we'll have two little ones to enjoy the fall fun.  I am 20 weeks today (halfway)!


Below are a couple of recent photos of Zeke just being silly.  We hope you are all enjoying beautiful fall weather wherever you are.  God bless!

Happy Fall Y'all!

We have had a fun and busy time since my last post.  I will be 20 weeks this coming weekend, but here is a shot of my 16 week belly:



Our entire family was thrilled to welcome Harper Nomachee Stargel into the world on September 19, 2012.  Kariss and Sophia seem to be amazing big sisters and we are all thankful for a healthy, happy little girl!  Jared and Jami are adjusting well to having three little girls to care for and love!

 
 





I got to bring Zeke up to Jared and Jami's house meet her.  He smiled from ear to ear and had a great time playing with the older girls (and Wynna) too!






 
During Gregg's travels, we were able to spend some time at my parents' house and with friends.  My mom also came to stay with us to help me organize some of Zeke's old clothes.  He continues to show us that he is funny and silly like his Daddy:



 

We enjoyed the quality time with Wynna, Papa, Jared, and his family!
 






We also were excited to have some time with our friends Dena, Luke, and Ryann!






Zeke is officially potty trained...yay!  It may seem minor, but for us, it's a big accomplishment.  We followed "Toilet Training Without Tantrums" by John Rosemond.  It required patience on my part, especially since Gregg was traveling for most of the time, but we are finally there.  With Adalynn, I will start training before the age of 2 since Rosemond suggests it is much easier at that time. 

In the next week or so, I will be changing the title of this blog and the background.  Now that we know we are having a girl, "Mini Man Memoirs" just doesn't fit!  I'll keep you posted on the changes.

God bless you all and thank you for your continued prayers for Zeke, Adalynn and our family.  We feel truly blessed!
