We have a one year old!

It's taken me awhile to get this post out, I apologize! I've been at my parents house this past week and their computer is "toast" (as my dad would say!). My dad and younger sister went to Arizona to hike the Grand Canyon with my Grandpa. They had a great time and I think they walked away with a lot of fun memories. I stayed with my mom while they were gone, so I didn't have access to a computer. But, Carley and I had a fun week with Mimi.

Carley had her birthday party a couple of weekends ago, on April 25th. It was a little party with mostly family (shout out to Ashley and Josh!:)) Some family/friends that really wanted to be there weren't able to make it, but we still had a great time. Carley was also really sick, but she made it through her party and put on a good show when the time came. She actually got sick on her birthday and had her first fever. I felt really bad for her and it took her about a week to get over it completely. All this to say that it was a good time and she destroyed her birthday cake and got some really great presents. She also got a serious bath afterwards. :)

Nanny and Aunt Laurie weren't able to make it to Carley's party and we really missed them being there. Lindy's dad (Dave Lunceford) has been sick with Alzheimer's for years, and it's really started to take a major toll on him. He's now in a home and he's on hospice care. Lindy's been spending a lot of time up there recently and the family's been staying really close to him. Please keep him and the family in your prayers.

Logan and I are headed over to San Antonio this weekend. We're leaving Carley with my parents. It will be the first time she's been without us overnight. This is the only weekend we could find to go and it's doubling as our Anniversary/house hunting trip. Logan will be gone in June, so we just decided to take this trip for ourselves and find a place to live while we're there. We're really excited and we know we're leaving Carley in good hands.

In case I haven't informed some of you, we decided to name our baby boy Joshua Daniel, after both of our dad's. We figure he has a pretty good start in life being named after two of our favorite men.

That's all the news for now! Hope everyone's doing well. We love you all!

First Easter and Big News!

Carley had her first Easter last weekend. We had a great time setting out eggs for her and watching her shake them in her hand. That was about all she did with them. :) It was probably a lot more fun for us then it was for her, but that's okay! We also dressed her up in the most precious dress ever! It was adorable. Her and Averie actually wore matching dresses and they were really cute. It was a good day of celebrating with family and eating a lot of great food.

The sermon at church was really awesome and gave some different perspectives on Christ's death and resurrection, at least for me. I always love when a sermon can give me a deeper connection with Christ by allowing me to understand even moreso what He did for us on that great day. I feel truly blessed to know Jesus and to have Him as my Savior and that I can pass that gift on to my children!

Logan and his parents were down in San Antonio this past week and they had quite a week! It was really exciting to get started on the new business and it seems like God is really blessing the opportunity there. We're so thankful that things have gone smoothly thus far and hope that they continue this way....although we know there are probably some rough patches ahead. Logan is really excited and absolutely loves San Antonio, so that makes me feel even better about the big move we're going to make this summer.

This past week we went to the doctor and discovered that we will be having a baby boy in October! This news brought on so much excitement. Logan has said in the past that his life will not be complete without a little boy, so now he can die a happy man (many many many years from now, of course). In the ultrasounds that I've had this baby boy has been very active, constantly moving around. I'm thinking that I need to start preparing for a wild, roudy little boy to come into our lives. It's going to be a lot of fun and a lot of work. I figure we'll have our little princess Carley and our little cowboy. We haven't decided on a name, but we have plenty of time for that. We'll let you know when we figure it out.

This Thursday is Carley's birthday, and this next Saturday is her party. It's going to be a lot of fun with our families and some close friends there to celebrate with us. We'll take a lot of pictures, no worries! Hope everyone has a wonderful week!

Changes

So, I decided to start a blog for our growing family! I had a baby website for Carley but I was going to have to pay to add more stuff to it, so I decided this was the best way to go. And, since we're moving this summer, I'd like for our families/friends to have access to pictures and our little everyday stories.

I titled this "Adventures with the Ingram's" because I feel like life is one big adventure right now! We left Searcy in December and have been living with Logan's parents for the past three months, we're moving to San Antonio in July, and we're expecting our second baby on October 3rd. Lot's of stresses, lots of excitement, lots of blessings!

We're so excited about moving to San Antonio. Logan is going to be the administrator in his dad's new business, and hopefully I'll be able to get involved a little while after the new baby is born. He actually is going to start working there this coming week. Logan will go to San Antonio with his mom and dad Sunday night and stay there for most of the week so they can get started with the new clinic and he can begin training for his position. The reason that we're not moving there now is because Logan has to go back up to Harding for the month of June to finish his last two classes. I don't feel comfortable being by myself for a month in a city I don't know, so I'm going to stay in Houston area with Carley. Please keep us in your prayers and ask that God bless everything we're about to do and that we keep Him in mind with all of our decisions.

As for Carley, our sweet little girl, she will be one year old on April 23rd. I can't believe a year has already gone by! She has been such a blessing to us and we are so grateful that God gave us such a good baby. She really has such a sweet disposition and she's just happy all the time. She's not walking yet, but I'm totally okay with that. I know it's coming and I'm resting up until then. :) She does get around very well though, she can crawl so fast! I'm already chasing her around every day. She's also saying a few words: kitty, dada, doggy, uh-oh, and she can say hi really clearly and wave. This Sunday will be her first Easter. Mimi got her and Averie matching dresses to wear to church and we plan to have a little egg hunt on Easter morning.

The pictures were taken in the bluebonnet fields in Montgomery. We took the girls up there last weekend before the church Easter egg hunt. Some of them turned out really cute and the bluebonnets were beautiful!
