Here's a great shot of Greg, Pappa (Greg's Dad) and Micah. We had a fun visit with his dad and step-mom (Cynthia) in August. Micah loved getting lots of time to play with Pappa. A few more milestones for the little guy: He went #2 in the potty. Only once, but, hey...we're counting it a victory. The rest of potty training is more like a slow jog through the park than it is a race to the finish line. It largely depends on how attentive I am and if I can remember to take him to the potty more frequently than not. I also found out today that with a teeny bit of help he can count to eight. Not sure how he learned that one. It's amazing to me how much they know...or how much we don't know that they know ;)
Fall hit Grand Rapids today. We pulled out the sweatshirts and are currently enjoying an evening rain shower. There's a real sense of expectation for the change of seasons here...I love that.
Baby #2 is growing along and making sure that I am always aware he/she is very present. Lots of nausea and fatigue I'm praying will subside in the coming weeks. We got a thumbs up from the OB and everything looks good. Praise the Lord! We're pretty sure we're going to keep this one a surprise and find out if it's a boy or girl the old fashioned way. Greg says there are very few things the man gets input on in this whole pregnancy business, so he's decided to call the shots on this one :) We're looking forward to the anticipation and excitement.
All for now...the Duvalls
