Anna's Room

I think it's turned out sooo cute! Jay decided one day that he wanted to paint the walls pink & brown and I was really hesitant, but gave in and I'm so glad I did. There are still some things that aren't done, like the curtains (a friend is making them for me) and I still need to find some kind of pillow sham for that twin bed. I really had a hard time finding a blanket for that bed too, but I think I really like the pastel green. We are also going to get a small bookshelf for her books and little knick knack things. Anyway, we really love the way it's turned out.

Shower

Our church gave us a shower a few weeks ago and they were sooo generous!!! We got tons of stuff. It's funny how many more clothes we got than we did at Andrew's shower....it's obviously more fun to shop for a girl. Here are a few pictures. Sorry there's no picture of the gifts once they were opened....I know someone took some but I don't have them yet.

Andrew had so much fun...at one point he was standing in front of everyone and realized they were looking at him so he started acting so silly. Then he got on the floor and started rolling around. He LOVES to be the center of attention!

50's Night and Gotcha Sucka!

First of all, this is my (Jay) first time posting on the blog in quite some time. I used to be the only one to do this. But Christi has joined the modern times, so that's good.

Here's a picture of Andrew all ready for 50's night at AWANA:



He's such a tough guy! He really loves to ham it up nowadays, so that brings us great joy. I think he's greatly looking forward to being a big brother. Unfortunately, baby sister still might have to be the one to teach him to eat right!

Now, on to the conclusion (hopefully) of a tremendous battle that has been waged within the confines of the Beerley house. After several visits from Ken (the exterminator guy), we finally have victory over the beast that has tormented us with scratching noises for about 3 or 4 months now. Praise God we never caught sight of this thing within the house.



I found it dead right by the driveway while taking the trash down to the street this evening. I about dropped dead right beside him. His body is about 8 inches long, and let's not discuss the tail.

But, for those keeping score: Beerleys 1, Rats 0.
