Where Did September Go?

I told myself I was not going to let a month go by before blogging. We have just been having so much fun lately that I have to designate a time to blog. My aunt has Myers today while I go to the doctor (so I'm drinking my delicious glucose drink as I type this). I told myself I was going to update the blog while I was here alone.  Myers couldn't go to school today because he had his 18 month check-up/shots. He was the sweetest little thing in the doctor's office. He let the nurse weigh him and measure him and let the doctor do the whole check-up with out any problems. The only time he cried was during the 4 shots!! It was the saddest thing!! Of course emotional pregnant mother cried too. He weighe 27 lbs. 8 oz. and was 33 inches long which puts him in the 75th %ile for both.

During the month of September we cut a lot of grass. We went to Memphis for Ainsley and Jason's wedding at the end of August and Myers stayed with the Flanagans while Matt and I went to the wedding. The Flanagans discovered that Myers has a future in landscape. They said he mowed the grass back and forth for 3 hours. When we got home, of course we had to go buy a lawn mower.

I love how he's pulling the lawn mower back like Daddy does.     

We also went to several festivals in September. Myers' favorite part of festivals are the animals and the music. The animal rescue league had some cats and dogs at one festival we went to. He didn't understand that he couldn't put his hands in the cats' cages.

                                                           

October is my favorite month of the year. We've already had a lot of excitement this October!!

The Greatest Show on Earth

Last night the circus came to town, and we enjoyed the complete circus experience.

We got the light!


We got a sno cone and cotton candy!


We saw elephants!

We saw lions!

We wore clown noses!

We said "ROAR" at least 900 times!

We had a great time!

Emotional

Disclaimer: I am 22 weeks pregnant, so none of the following information may be used to make fun of me.

With that being said, all of the pregnancy emotions that I haven't had have all hit me this week. First, I got Myers' supply list for his new 1 year old room and on the list was a rain coat and rain boots. I don't know why this upset me so bad. There was something really sad about my baby wearing rain boots. Second, I cannot watch, see pictures of or even hear about someone having a baby. For some reason it just makes me lose it. I guess it's because I know how they feel and I'm about to do it again, and everything is going so fast, and I want to slow this pregnancy down because I know how big my babies will be so soon or maybe it's for no other reason than I'm pregnant. At Myers' "Meet the Teacher Night" I had to do everything I could do not to lose it again. I couldn't ask any questions because I was scared I would choke up. The only thing I wanted to know was if my baby could have a cover for his nap mat. I know he's not special and he doesn't need a cover, but something about a nap mat cover makes me feel like my baby isn't sleeping on the nasty plastic blue and red nap mat. I never found out if he could have one or not. Maybe I can email the teacher.

This is the best picture I could get of Myers on his first day of school.

It's a....

nother BOY!!

We are so excited that Myers is going to get a little brother. To be honest it took me a little while to get over that shock that I will be the only girl in a house full of boys. I was having daymares of me pulling a cooler filled with gatorade through the ballpark sunburned with a hoarse voice from yelling at the day's games. But the reality is that I'm going to absolutely love watching my precious boys play ball (or whatever they want to play).

After much discussion and debating, we have decided that his name will be...

Harris Matthew Ginn

We will call him Harris, and he his scheduled to be here at the end of December or beginning of January.

This is the car of a mom at the daycare who has two boys. Will this eventually be my car?

Mr. and Mrs. Keith Russell

Marianna and Keith got married on June 19th and I don't have ONE picture!!! I'm so mad at myself. It was just such a hectic day with Matt and I both in the wedding, trying to get Myers dressed and chasing him around everywhere!!! Allison Rodgers was her photographer and she is amazing. She posted a sneak peek of the wedding pics on her blog. You can see them by clicking on this link. There is an adorable picture of Myers. It was a really fun weekend. The ceremony was really sweet and the reception was a blast. Congrats Keith and Marianna.

The Gang's All Here!

It's very rare that the Ginns, Tuminellos, Adairs and Smiths can all get together at the same time. With the Adairs living in Zambia and only coming home once every three years, the Smiths playing ball and living in Colorado from February to October, and Scott either working or playing golf all the time, it's hard to get everyone together. But this past week we were all able to hang out for a who afternoon. Seth was home for the allstar break and the Adairs were in Jackson for the last time until they leave for Africa on the 27th. We had a great time. Please pray for James and MM as they make the long journey back to Africa and continue to have such great faith to raise their family so far away in a culture that is so different than ours. Here are some pics of the kids.
