BREAKING NEWS FROM THE ISBELL HOUSE!

Well, maybe not so "breaking" but we are finally filling everyone in on what we've known for awhile...


WE ARE EXPECTING!

We are so thrilled to be eleven weeks pregnant!  I am due on June 23, 2008.  We go to the doctor again on Monday November 24.  

We are excited to be parents again and Deven is excited (we hope) to be a big sister. Tyler and I would love to have a whole house full, so I guess we are on our way! 

Please pray that we will have a healthy, happy nine months and more importantly that we can survive and thrive with two under two!  We are excited and nervous all over again, but that just comes with the territory.

I hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving planned.  We are going to be staying in Jonesboro and hanging out with my family this year. But on Saturday we are going to Hardy to see Tyler's family on his dad's side.  Hopefully I can get lots of fun pictures!

It's incredible how much changes in a month....



When you have a baby at home!!

I cannot believe some how I have not posted an update in almost a month. Deven is getting so stinkin big. She weighs in at 18lbs and is 281/2 inches long. She has really gotten taller, I guess you would say, in the last few weeks. She is crawling all over the place and is getting really fast. It is so funny to watch her. Tyler and I tease and say we are going to make her sponges with rubber bands on them and put them on her hands and knees because even though the floors look clean, her little knees get dirty when she crawls around. I guess that's part of the problem of having an apartment with almost zero carpet! Oh well, not much we can do about that I suppose.

She is clapping, laughing out loud and her two top teeth are almost in... that would bring the count to four! She is eating all kinds of things including Cheerios, fruit loops... when her daddy sneaks them to her, crackers and lots of yummy baby food, of course. She also loves to feed herself and is getting really good with that too. We are also working on the sippy cup. Some days she will do fine with it and other days she will act like she doesn't know what to do with it. Weird.

She was a flower for Halloween and it was so cute. Tyler and I were a doctor and a nurse. Here are some pictures from our church Fall Festival.





Tyler and I are staying busy with school and so glad to see the finish line in sight. I have two more weeks with my internship in West Memphis and then I am done until January. Then, I will be interning in Jonesboro next semester, so I am excited about that. But all in all we are counting down the days til May 9th.
