Happy Fall!



Alexis Grace Barton @ 2 1/2 years old.

27 weeks and counting.....


Well, poor baby Barton still has no name. I haven't even started on the nursery and my work hasn't even discussed my maternity leave with me yet! I thought we would be more prepared than this by now! I've GOT to get on the ball....

Halloween 2008















































Of course Lexi had to be Cinderella for Halloween since she is so in to her right now. She looked sooo sweet in her little princess dress! This was by-far the best Halloween we've had so far since this year she really knew what was going on. She had trouble saying "trick-or'treat" so she would just yell "boo!" when we knocked on people's doors!

Lexi's New Swing Set





After four days of hard work, Chris & our friend Jerry finally got Lexi's new swing set together. Remember those metal swing sets we had when we were kids? Well, these new ones are one more pain to assemble. The play set was broken down into tiny strips of wood and there had to be a thousand or more tiny bolts and nut and screws! For any of you parents thinking you might need to buy one of these, I would recommend buying the pre assembled ones!
But Lexi loves it and has told everybody how hard Daddy & Ge Ge (that's what she calls Jerry) worked on it! The stuff you do for your kids! Hopefully this set will last through two kids and the next 8 years or so!

Welcome to the family, Todd.




This is Todd, our new Jack Russell Terrier. We got him a couple weeks back when he was 8 weeks old but I waited a while to post his picture since you know our luck with pets! I guess that maybe we make better dog owners that cat owners! Anyway, Lexi loves the little guy and I think having her very own dog is going to be good for her.... maybe it will give her a little training on how to be gentle with her sister.

Happy 31st Birthday, Chris!

Country Music Rising Star





My mother-in-law just sent me these pictures of Lexi having a jam session at her house this morning. Just thought they were too cute not to share. Did I mention I used to want to be a singer.... the only problem was that I couldn't sing! Maybe Lexi will live out my long lost dream!
